Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Pierce has notified the
Boston Celtics that he will opt out of the final year of his contract before
Wednesday's deadline to do so, which will make Pierce an unrestricted free
agent for the first time in his career.
ESPN的消息透漏Pierce會在美國時間禮拜三以前跳出合約,變成自由球員。
By opting out, Pierce will forfeit next season's $21.5 million salary but
becomes eligible to sign a new four-year deal with the Celtics worth a
maximum of $96 million and can receive four-year offers from other teams
worth a maximum $93 million.
