Really, The only thing that hasn't been big recently is their lineup, which was so small it made, well, big news.

真的，最近唯一沒有大動作的就是他們的陣容，他們的陣容太小了，所以成了，大新聞。

So it's not a surprise to see the Rockets mark this off season with one of the league's biggest shakeups in a two week stretch.

所以，火箭隊在這個休賽期，在兩週內迎來聯盟最大的一次動盪並不意外。

They've replaced both the head of their front office, Daryl Morey, and their head coach, Mike D'Antoni.

他們更換了前臺主管達里爾-莫雷和主教練邁克-德安東尼。

Two of the sports.

其中有兩項運動。

More notable experience names stepping into their places.

New GM Rafael Stone.

And now, according to our Adrian word Yanovsky, Stephen Silas.

而現在，根據我們的阿德里安字亞諾夫斯基，斯蒂芬-西拉斯。

Personally, I think this is a great hire.

我個人認為，這是一個很好的僱傭。

Silas is simply as qualified as it is possible to be.

西拉簡直是合格的，因為它是可能的。

As a first time head coach, he comes straight from a job as the Mavericks lead assistant.

作為第一次擔任主教練，他是直接從小牛隊的首席助理崗位上走過來的。

He's the man that Luca Donkeys credits with helping his jump into hyperspace this past season, as Dallas put together the best offensive rating in MBA history.

他是盧卡-唐斯的功臣，在過去的一個賽季裡，他幫助他跳入了超空間，達拉斯打出了MBA歷史上最好的進攻評分。

He's also an Ivy League graduate who, thanks to his dad, Paul Silas, has spent his entire life around the game and just has an extreme ease with players and management alike.

他也是常春藤大學畢業的學生，由於他的父親保羅-西拉斯的關係，他的一生都是在比賽中度過的，只是對球員和管理層都極為輕鬆。

It doesn't surprise me at all to hear that James Harden and Russell Westbrook both back Silas for this higher and honestly, those are the relationships I will be watching most closely.

聽到詹姆斯-哈登和拉塞爾-威斯布魯克都支持西拉斯這個更高，我一點都不驚訝，說實話，這些都是我最關注的關係。

Harden is locked into the Rockets for just two more seasons.

哈登被鎖定在火箭隊，只需再過兩個賽季。

His happiness over this next year with Silas and to a different degree with Stone will probably go a long way into determining his future with a franchise that itself is already in as much of a win now position as it is possible to be having already pre mortgaged a lot of its assets.

他在明年與西拉斯的這一年中的幸福感，以及在不同程度上與斯通的幸福感，可能會在很大程度上決定他與一個特許經營權的未來，而這個特許經營權本身就已經處於現在的贏利狀態，因為它已經預先抵押了很多資產。

All of which is to say, Yeah, the stakes are very high with this latest Houston shakeup.

所有這些都是說，是的，休斯敦最近的這次動盪，賭注非常大。

This guy's a stood a young stud like you said he served over 20 years as assistant.

Uh, he's a magician with the clipboard when it comes down toe, drawing up offensive sets and put guys in position to be successful, especially Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

呃，他是一個魔術師，用夾板當下趾，畫出進攻套路，把人放在成功的位置上，尤其是拉塞爾-威斯布魯克和詹姆斯-哈登。

And if you look at the feedback that he was getting that he was getting across the Internet, guys like Baron Davis and so forth was saying, Great.

如果你看一下他得到的反饋 他在互聯網上得到的反饋，像男爵戴維斯等人說，很好。

Yeah, no, Rachel, Uh, every year when, uh, head coaching jobs are open, we hear about?

是啊，不，瑞秋，每年當，呃，主教練職位空缺的時候，我們都會聽說？

Oh, I can't believe so and so hasn't gotten a chance yet.

哦，我不相信這樣那樣的人還沒有機會。

They've been an assistant for four years.

This is an outrage, and I always think of Stephen Silas.

這是一種憤怒，我總是想起Stephen Silas。

This guy has been an assistant coach in the NBA for damn near half his life.

這傢伙在NBA當了半輩子的助理教練。

Yeah, and his name never gets mentioned like Perks said, extremely well respected for his attention to detail for his preparation for his mastery of the X's and O's, particularly on the offensive end.

是啊，他的名字從來沒有像佩克斯說的那樣被人提起過，因為他對細節的關注，對X和O的掌握，尤其是在進攻端，他的準備工作受到了極高的尊重。

He's coach in Orlando with Steve Clifford.

他在奧蘭多和史蒂夫-克利福德一起當教練。

He's coach, obviously, in Dallas with Rick Carlisle in Charlotte.

他是教練，很明顯，在達拉斯與裡克-卡萊爾在夏洛特。

他一直在這裡，他知道他是一個已知的商品，我很高興他終於在這裡得到了機會，順便和你們養生。

I know you know this.

我知道你知道這個。

Usually when we talk about the first time head coach, you getting a lottery team, you're getting somebody, a team that's kind of exactly expected to win 20 games or something like that.

通常我們說到第一次當主教練的時候，你得到的是一支樂透球隊，你得到的是一個人，一支球隊，算是完全有望贏得20場比賽之類的。

This is a rare opportunity when we walk in the door and have two Hall of Famers on his roster.

這是一個難得的機會，當我們走進門，他的名冊上有兩位名人堂成員。

Absolutely, and the distinction you make about being a players coach, it's actually a little more nuanced, right?

當然，你說的做球員教練的區別，其實更細微一些吧？

Because, no, you cannot be the It's my way or the highway anymore in this league.

因為，不，在這個聯盟裡，你不可能再成為 "不走我的路就走高速公路 "的人。

So I think it's actually a harder needle to thread than we sometimes give it credit for, and by all accounts by people who have played for him, he doesn't.

所以，我覺得這其實是一根比我們有時候賦予的針更難穿的針，從所有為他效力過的人來看，他並沒有。

He threads that needle so that is really impressive, too.

他用那根針穿針引線，所以也真的很厲害。

And I do like the fact that Westbrook and Harden seem to be behind this move because, I mean, we've talked about guys making a noise certainly in the bubble about Hey, there aren't enough Black head coaches know there aren't enough black executives.

而我確實喜歡威斯布魯克和哈登似乎是這一舉動的背後，因為，我的意思是，我們已經談到了傢伙發出噪音當然在保麗龍中關於嘿，沒有足夠的黑人主教練知道沒有足夠的黑人管理人員。

Why aren't we doing more business with black owned businesses?

為什麼我們不和黑人企業做更多的生意？

Well, this was a case where two stars had the opportunity to put their money where their mouth waas and they backed the young black assistant coach for the job.

好吧，這是一個案例，兩個明星有機會把他們的錢放在他們的嘴裡，他們支持年輕的黑人助理教練的工作。

Right?

對吧？

Uh, I believe you know the question was, Oh, should they have taken input?

So instead of that, you got him coming in Now.

所以，與其這樣，不如讓他現在就來。

The other candidate was John Lucas, who had already been there and obviously lives in Houston.

另一個候選人是約翰-盧卡斯，他已經去過那裡，顯然住在休斯頓。

He's been there a long time and was well respected, well liked by the players.

他在那裡呆了很久，很受尊重，很受球員的喜愛。

So I would expect to see John Lucas continued on on the staff.

所以，我希望看到約翰-盧卡斯繼續在工作人員中任職。
