節錄&簡單翻譯：

The interesting thing about Williamson's
decision to change agencies is that the Knicks themselves indirectly played arole in the split between the Pelicans forward and CAA, sources told
ClutchPoints.

關於之前報導代理人公司CAA與Zion分道揚鑣，
該文指出，此原因與紐約尼克有關。

Even before the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery sealed Williamson's fate as the
Pelicans' No. 1 overall pick, he had long made it clear to the agency that hewanted to play in New York. After beginning his career in New Orleans,
Williamson expected more from his representation in regards to pursuing a
trade to New York. This was one of the two driving factors that resulted in
the split, source said.

早在2019年選秀時，Zion就與CAA表示想去紐約，
進入鵜鶘展開球員生涯後，更加深想交易至紐約的念頭。
這是和CAA訣別的第一個原因。

Aside from his connection to the Knicks, Williamson's contract was another
element in the deterioration of the relationship between the two sides. Zion
extended his time with New Orleans in January 2022 by agreeing to a
five-year, $197 million contract. Initially, this deal was unusual due to theextent of injury and weight-related benchmarks that made certain aspects of
the deal non-guaranteed.

第二個原因，合約也是導致雙方關係惡化的因素。
2022年1月，和鵜鶘簽一份五年/1.97億美元的合約，
但於體重與傷病的規範，使得這份合約並不尋常。

Since the deal was initially signed, Williamson has gained a greater
understanding of how his contract was structured and the various clauses
involving his weight that make said deal not fully guaranteed moving forward.Both the agency's perceived inability to land the forward in New York City,
as well as Williamson's understanding of his contract situation, pushed the
relationship to the point where the parties felt a divorce was the best
resolution.

隨著Zion更理解這份合約的體重、傷病條款，
發現這份合約可能無法獲得全額保障；
且無法順利到紐約打球後，Zion便與CCA推向了決裂。

短評或心得：
算是前一篇的理由吧?
