Those talks have yet to turn into anything concrete, reportedly because the Rockets have a higher price tag in mind than, well, just John Wall.

據報道，這些談判還沒有變成任何具體的東西，因為火箭隊心中的價格比，只是約翰-沃爾更高。

This comes on the heels of Tim McManaman and Adrian.

這是在蒂姆-麥克馬納曼和阿德里安。

Were Danowski reporting the Rockets Breast does not feel pressure to trade Westbrook and or James Harden, who, by the way, turned down that $103 million extension this week.

被達諾夫斯基報告火箭隊乳房不感到壓力，交易威斯布魯克和或詹姆斯-哈登，誰，順便說一句，拒絕了本週那1.03億美元的擴展。

A high ranking member of the Rockets front office told ESPN Quote Way are willing to get uncomfortable.

火箭隊前臺的一位高層告訴ESPN報價方式願意讓人不舒服。

So Vince Carter, how uncomfortable can the Rockets afford to get with their star players?

那麼文斯-卡特，火箭隊的明星球員能有多不舒服呢？

We've seen teams, say two players.

我們見過的隊伍，比如說兩名球員。

I'm sorry, you're just not getting a trade.

對不起，你只是沒有得到一個交易。

It worked out with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, but boy did not work out so well with, say, the Timberwolves and Jimmy Butler.

它與湖人隊和科比-布萊恩特一起工作，但男孩並沒有那麼好的工作，比如，森林狼隊和吉米-巴特勒。

Eventually, that all came apart, right?

最終，這一切都被拆穿了，對嗎？

I think the Rockets are are in the driver's seat.

我認為火箭隊是在駕駛座。

In my opinion, I think you know, they they can dictate what they're looking for.

在我看來，我想你知道，他們他們可以決定他們正在尋找的東西。

What they want and when they wanted.

他們想要什麼，什麼時候想要。

I mean, James Harden and and or Rust can say what they want, not be happy all they want.

我的意思是，詹姆斯-哈登和和或羅斯特可以說他們想說什麼，而不是想怎麼高興就怎麼高興。

But at the end of the day, they still have to get the Houston Rockets to sign off on it, in my opinion.

但在我看來，最後他們還是要讓休斯頓火箭隊簽字。

So I think right now Houston Rockets are in the driver's seat because, I mean, if you look at the history of this, I mean, they don't want to get put in the position where they just have to make a, uh uh in post trade just because those guys are not.

所以我認為現在休斯敦火箭隊是在駕駛座上，因為，我的意思是，如果你看看這個歷史，我的意思是，他們不希望被放在位置上，他們只是必須做出一個，呃呃在後交易，只是因為那些傢伙不是。

I'm not happy and they get left with not much, because think about it.

我不高興，他們得到的東西也不多，因為想一想。

What?

什麼？

What can you what?

你能做什麼？

There's not many guys out there that you can get to match up with the skill level off a James Harden and Westbrook, for that matter.

你能從詹姆斯-哈登和威斯布魯克身上得到與之匹配的技術水平的人並不多，對於。

I think it's a difficult situation with Rockets management, everything I've been hearing.

我認為這是火箭管理層的一個難題，我聽到的一切。

There's been a lot of non communication between management when they make moves and consulting in their superstars and anyone who knows, um, majority of the time with ease, superstar players, everything's kind of ran through them, and everything I'm hearing was it wasn't this time.

當管理層在他們的超級明星中做出動作和諮詢的時候，有很多不溝通的地方，誰都知道，嗯，大多數時候都很輕鬆，超級明星球員，所有的事情都有點跑過他們，我聽到的都是這次沒有。

And there's some frustration from Russ and James, and that's why these guys want to go now.

而拉斯和詹姆斯也有些沮喪，這也是這些人現在想走的原因。

I'm not saying they are gonna be disruptive superstars, because I'm not putting that on them.

我不是說他們會成為顛覆性的超級巨星，因為我並沒有把這一點放在他們身上。

But we all know a disruptive superstar in the locker room can kill a season before the season even starts.

但我們都知道，在更衣室裡，一個破壞性的超級巨星會在賽季開始前就殺死一個賽季。

So although the Rockets do have the upper hand because these guys are under contract, I think they wanna play this very cautious because for anyone that wants that would turn down 100 $3 million really doesn't want to be somewhere.

所以，雖然火箭隊確實有優勢，因為這些人都有合同在身，但我覺得他們想玩這個非常謹慎，因為對於任何人來說，想要那個會拒絕100個300萬的人，真的不想在什麼地方。

So I would try to get I would try to move him back.

所以，我會努力讓我會努力讓他後退。

How much would you guys have to think twice, Six times, eight times, 15 times, Matt, before you turned down $103 million over two years.

你們要三思而後行，六次，八次，十五次，馬特，才會拒絕兩年1.03億美元。

I'm not turning that down.

我不會拒絕的

E a t the end of the day.

在一天結束的時候

Look, you could you could be happy, not happy and want to be moved.

你看，你可以你可以很開心，不開心也想感動。

But you're gonna move me with that 103 But I respected to, from a standpoint of like I said, it's not about the money for him.

但你要用103號來感動我，但我尊重到，從像我說的立場來看，對他來說，這不是錢的問題。

James's been taking care of the deepest deal is amazing, like he's making.

詹姆斯一直在照顧最深的交易是驚人的，就像他在做。

He does not want to be there anymore.

他不想在那裡了。

It's like I said, It's been a Miss Mishaps and mishandling by management, and they made a mistake.

就像我說的，這是一個小姐的失誤和管理層的處理不當，他們犯了一個錯誤。

Now the guy that helped build this, put them back on the map, wants to leave.

現在，那個幫助建立了這個，讓他們重新回到地圖上的人，想要離開。

You got to get him out.

你得把他救出來

Yeah, it's so fascinating.

是啊，它是如此迷人。

He has, by the time this contract that he's currently on is over.

他有，等他目前的這份合同結束的時候。

Well, it made around $300 million.

嗯，它賺了3億左右。

That doesn't even count the Adidas money you guys were talking about.

這還不算你們說的阿迪達斯的錢。

So I guess it must be nice.

所以我想一定很好。

It must be nice to turn that down.

能把這句話拒之門外，一定是好事。

That kind of cash I wanna welcome in our ESPN senior writer Zack Low.

這種現金我想歡迎我們ESPN的高級作家Zack Low。

Yeah, that's right.

是的，這是正確的。

You're absolutely right.

你說的很對

Zack.

扎克

Have you ever turned down 103 million over two years?

兩年1.03億你拒絕過嗎？

It's a couple of times, you know, it didn't come back to bite me, so I'm doing okay.

這幾次，你知道，它沒有回來咬我，所以我做得還不錯。

It was a tough decision, but I turned it down a couple of times.

這是一個艱難的決定，但我拒絕了幾次。

I appreciate that before we move on to the Celtics, which was one of the reasons we wanted toe.

我很欣賞這一點，在我們轉向凱爾特人隊之前，這是我們想要趾的原因之一。

Have you pop in here today?

你今天來過這裡嗎？

I'm curious to know how uncomfortable you think the Rockets front Rockets front office could really get with James and Russ this season.

我很想知道，你覺得火箭隊前場火箭隊前臺本賽季對詹姆斯和拉斯到底能有多不適應。

I I agree with Vince.

我... 我同意文斯的說法

I'm not sure there the driver's seat.

我不確定是否有駕駛座。

But I do think they have time.

但我確實認為他們有時間。

And I think that message yesterday they sent out saying, We're willing to get uncomfortable.

我想昨天他們發出的那條資訊說，我們願意讓人不舒服。

A lot of people interpreted as well.

很多人也在解讀。

That's a message to anybody who would trade for James Harden.

這是給任何願意交易詹姆斯-哈登的人的資訊。

You better bring the price up.

你最好把價格提上去。

We're willing to ride it out.

我們願意共度難關。

I think it was a message just as much to James, and Russ says, Hey, look, you guys, air competitors Are you really prepared to, like, not show up here, not play hard?

我想這也是給詹姆斯的一個資訊，拉斯說："嘿，聽著，你們這些空中競爭者，你們真的準備好了，就像，不出現在這裡，不努力打球？

I don't think you are your prideful, your competitors.

我不認為你是你的驕傲，你的競爭對手。

You've been You've been MVPs in this league.

你一直都是這個聯盟的MVP。

You're gonna come to camp were still think we're gonna have a pretty good team.

你要來訓練營，我們仍然認為我們會有一個相當不錯的團隊。

This is what the Rockets would like.

這也是火箭隊所希望的。

I'm not saying it's gonna happen.

我不是說會發生。

I think that was what the message was delivered, and I do think withdrew holiday off the table.

我想這就是傳遞的資訊，我也認為撤銷了假期的表。

And at that price, that's one trade target out the door for Brooklyn or anyone else who wants an All Star to guard.

而以這個價格，對於布魯克林或者其他想要全明星控衛的人來說，這就是一個出手的交易目標。

I think time and leverage are on their side.

我認為時間和槓桿都在他們這邊。

Maybe Philadelphia comes to the table.

也許費城會來參加。

Maybe somebody else.

也許還有其他人。

But I think Houston is playing this right so far, even if there's a little bit of bluster going on.

但我認為休斯頓目前的表現是正確的，即使有一點虛張聲勢。

Yeah, and look, that leverage and time is a factor.

是啊，你看，槓桿和時間是一個因素。

James Harden, for examples, got two seasons left on his contract.

以詹姆斯-哈登為例，他的合同還剩兩個賽季。

That's a lot different than when a guy only has one season left on his deal.

這和一個人的合約只剩下一個賽季的時候有很大不同。

A team has the opportunity to say, What are you going to dio?

一個團隊有機會說，你要dio什麼？

You can't really just sit out two seasons.

你總不能真的就坐等兩季吧。

And by the way, the MBA does not let players do that.

順便說一句，MBA不允許球員這樣做。

It's different from the NFL.

這和NFL不同。

I feel like we have to remind people of that every year.

我覺得我們每年都要提醒大家。

You can't just sit out and have your contract months start to pass.

你不能就這樣坐以待斃，你的合同月開始就過去了。

The MBA says that it doesn't start to happen until you show up.

MBA說，你不出現，它就不會開始發生。

So if James Harden was gonna sit out for three months, then his contract here wouldn't start for three months.

所以如果詹姆斯-哈登要休戰三個月，那麼他在這裡的合同就不會開始三個月。

He doesn't get those three months back and taken out of his deal, so they have to come to training camp and it will be interesting to see their attitude when they get there.

他不會把這三個月的時間拿回來，拿掉他的合約，所以他們必須來到訓練營，到了那裡，看看他們的態度會很有趣。
