It wasn't even like through reporters or sources.

它甚至不喜歡通過記者或消息來源。

He came out on the radio and said I wanted to be traded his name on it and absolutely, they waited him out.

他在廣播裡說我想被交易他的名字在上面，絕對，他們等他出來。

And it is a little bit of a battle of wills because James has two years left on his deal and there is a point is, I think, where the coaching staff in the front office and say We don't care.

而這是一個有點意志的鬥爭，因為詹姆斯還有兩年的合約，有一點是，我認為，教練組在前臺和說我們不在乎。

You need to be out on the court and play.

你需要在球場上打球。

And remember, if Mbah players quote, sit out.

而且要記住，如果姆巴球員報價，就請坐出。

It's not like the NFL.

這和NFL不一樣。

NFL players can sit out and their contract your continues, even if they're not getting paid with the n B A.

NFL球員可以缺席，他們的合同你的繼續，即使他們沒有得到報酬與n B A。

If you don't report your contract, your does not start.

如果你不報告你的合同，你的不開始。

So those two years he has left on his deal with the Rockets, if James would say and he's obviously not going to do this, but just to explain the difference.

所以他和火箭隊的合約還剩這兩年，如果詹姆斯會說，他顯然不會這麼做，但只是為了解釋其中的區別。

If James is strategy was somehow, well, I'll just sit out this season.

如果詹姆斯的策略是某種程度上的，那麼，這個賽季我就不參加了。

He will come back the next season and still have two more years left on his deal inside the franchise.

下個賽季他還會回來，而且在加盟店裡面還有兩年的合約。

What are the discussions?

討論的內容是什麼？

Phys?

物理？

That as a coach you're having with the front office back and forth about how to handle it and what to say to the other players?

那作為教練，你和前臺有來有往，該怎麼處理，該怎麼和其他球員說？

Well, I think it first starts with sitting down with James and saying, Okay, how do you want this to play out?

好吧，我覺得首先要和詹姆斯坐下來，說，好吧，你想怎麼玩？

And you know, yes, we are actively shopping to trade you, But until we can, we all have to be pros and do our job.

你知道的，是的，我們正在積極地購物來換取你，但在我們能換取你之前，我們都必須是專業的，做好我們的工作。

And you would expect and you would want thio encourage him to be that type of person that will come out and play until that opportunity came up where a deal could be worked out.

你會期望，你會想讓他成為那種會出來打球的人，直到機會來了，可以達成交易。

Uh, it doesn't look good for anybody if James doesn't show, you know, for Houston is like to me that the conversation is Is James going thio play nice?

呃，如果詹姆斯不出現的話，對誰都不好，你知道，對休斯頓來說，我覺得話題是詹姆斯會不會好好打球？

Is he going thio or is he gonna be disruptive if he can settle in with John Wall and they could get off to a decent start that actually increases Houston's leverage.

他是去thio還是要去破壞性，如果他能和約翰-沃爾安頓在一起，他們可以有一個不錯的開局，實際上增加了休斯頓的槓桿。

But if he's disruptive, if the team starts to crater, If this started then then there really trading him from from a place of duress, and I think that's what the organization has to determine now.

但如果他是破壞性的，如果球隊開始崩潰，如果這開始了，那麼就真的要從脅迫的地方交易他，我想這是組織現在必須確定的。

I personally, um, in the camp that says he's under contract.

我個人，嗯，在陣營說他的合同。

He's a great player.

他是一個偉大的球員。

You just don't get many chances to trade great players on if you If you trade James Harden in the wrong deal, your franchise is gonna be digging out from under that trade for the next 5 to 6 years.

如果你在錯誤的交易中交易了詹姆斯-哈登，你的加盟店在接下來的5到6年裡都會從這筆交易中被挖出來。

So you wait until you get what you want for James Harden.

所以你要談到你想要的條件，才能交易哈登。

And you have to tell him.

而且你要告訴他。

Help us help you.

幫我們等於是在幫你自己。

Yeah, there's a lot of players who've been in this situation.

是啊，有很多球員都遇到過這種情況。

And if if you if you help us, help you, then you could get to where you want and we can get something in return for you.

如果如果你... ...如果你幫助我們，幫助你，那麼你就可以到達你想要的地方，我們可以為你得到一些回報。

And that's what that professionalism comes in, where you just say, Hey, listen, come out, play hard like you always do perform at a high level.

而這就是那種職業精神的體現，你只是說，嘿，聽著，出來吧，像你一直以來的表現一樣，努力打出高水平。

Uh, there's an expectation of James Harden when he steps on the port from fans and from everyone in the country around the world.

呃，當詹姆斯-哈登踏上港口的時候，球迷和全國各地的人都對他充滿了期待。

Be that guy and just know that we're really pushing forward to try to help you get to the place that you wanna be so we can make sure that everybody wins.

成為那個人，只需知道我們真的在向前推進，試圖幫助你到達你想去的地方，這樣我們就能確保每個人都能贏。

And look, we talk about Kobe Bryant or Jimmy Butler.

你看，我們談論的是科比-布萊恩特或吉米-巴特勒。

Every situation is different.

每一種情況都是不同的。

And one of the complexities with this situation is that the team that James reportedly wants to go to is not a team that necessarily desperately needs him, right?

而這種情況的一個複雜之處在於，據說詹姆斯想去的球隊，並不一定是急需他的球隊吧？

They've got Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

他們有凱文-杜蘭特和凱里-歐文。

So I guess it depends on how much K D and Kyrie say you, absolutely, to the front office.

所以我想，這要看K D和凱里對前臺說你，絕對是多少。

Have to go get James.

我得去找詹姆斯

But it's not a team that necessarily has to pay a sky high price because they're desperate for James Harden.

但這並不是一支球隊一定要付出天價，因為他們急需詹姆斯-哈登。

He would kind of be a luxury on that team, So that's going to change the leverage and the negotiations here as well.

他在那支球隊裡會是一種奢侈，所以這也會改變這裡的槓桿和談判。

We'll have to see if there's anywhere else James might be interested in going, or this saga could end up for a long time.

我們得看看詹姆斯還有沒有其他地方可能感興趣，否則這個傳奇可能會結束很長時間。

We'll keep watching Instagram, who knows.

我們會繼續關注Instagram，誰知道呢？
