On August 1, the China Basketball Association (CBA) announced the start date of the 2022-23 regular season, to tip off on October 10. The very next day, superstar Guo Ailun announced that he has submitted a trade request from the defending champion Liaoning Flying Leopards. The breaking news sent shockwave throughout the league and the question now becomes if fans will see Guo on a CBA hardwood floor next season.

8月1日，CBA宣布2022-2023赛季将于10月10日揭幕。次日，超级球星郭艾伦宣布，他已向卫冕冠军辽宁飞豹提交了转会申请。这一劲爆消息震动了整个联盟，接下来的问题便是，球迷们下赛季还能在CBA赛场上看到郭艾伦吗？

Guo Ailun is currently signed to a Class D contract, which is a max contract in the CBA. Per terms of his contract, Liaoning Flying Leopards will have sole rights to resign Guo to another max contract unless the team decides to give up that right. As of right now, it seems Guo’s only option to leave the team will be to pursue overseas opportunities.

郭艾伦目前的合同是D类，也就是CBA顶薪合同。根据合同条款，辽宁飞豹拥有郭艾伦的优先顶薪续约权，除非俱乐部决定放弃这一权利。目前，郭艾伦离队的唯一选择就是去海外联赛寻找机会。

”After achievements in the CBA, it’s time for me to face other challenges. This is absolutely the biggest decision for my career,” said Guo Ailun, doubling down on his decision to leave the team.

郭艾伦进一步表达了离队的决心：“在取得这些成绩后，我也需要一些新的挑战。只要我认准的事情，就一定会义无反顾地去完成。这是我职业生涯最重要的决定，没有之一。”（郭艾伦原话，此段应关注汉译英。）
