What the first year head coach wasn't able to answer were questions about whether Harden so wants to be traded from Houston.

第一年的主教練沒能回答的是關於哈登是否如此想要從休斯頓被交易的問題。

Reports continued to swirl, of course, that he does.

報道不斷，當然，他確實。

Hey, missed their first two preseason games going through co vid protocols.

嘿，錯過了他們的前兩場季前賽，要通過co vid協議。

Whoa!

哇！

Tests, Um, answers, though this morning on Get up.

測試，嗯，答案，雖然今天早上在起床。

He's made it clear as he's come in had his first practice yesterday that the arrival of John Wall on however John Wall looked, or how Boogie Cousins has looked in the preseason preseason so far is not impacting his thinking.

他在昨天來有第一次訓練的時候就明確表示，約翰-沃爾的到來對不管約翰-沃爾的樣子，或者說博格-考辛斯在季前賽至今的表現並沒有影響他的想法。

He wants to trade Brooklyn.

他想交易布魯克林。

Philadelphia are still the two teams he would most like to go.

費城還是他最想去的兩支球隊。

Thio and the Rockets continue toe work on trying to see if there's a way, um, that they could get maximum value for a player they consider one of the best five in the league, and they certainly aren't going to just give away.

Thio和火箭隊繼續努力，試圖看看是否有一種方法，嗯，他們可以為一個他們認為是聯盟最好的五人之一的球員獲得最大的價值，他們當然不會就這樣放棄。

Well, last time I checked, they only have one basketball in Brooklyn.

嗯，我最後一次檢查，他們只有一個籃球在布魯克林。

I don't know how that would play out.

我不知道那會是怎樣的結果。

They'll be very interesting as Tim MacMahon joins us now, we're only seven days away, Tim, from the start of the season.

他們將非常有趣，蒂姆-麥克馬洪現在加入我們，我們只有七天的時間，蒂姆，從賽季開始。

But obviously the Rockets aren't in any rush.

但顯然火箭隊並不著急。

They have James Harden locked up for at least two more years, so they could really sit back and take the best deal.

他們至少還鎖定了詹姆斯-哈登兩年，所以他們真的可以坐收漁翁之利。

What are they looking for?

他們在找什麼？

Well, the Rockets have been very firm on what they would consider a fair offer.

好吧，火箭隊對於他們認為的公平報價一直非常堅定。

They want a young franchise corner, storm cornerstone and a bundle of either first round picks and or young talent.

If they're gonna lose Harden, they're going to do something to help establish their future there as they embark on a new chapter just eight days away from their opener.

如果他們要失去哈登，他們要做一些事情來幫助建立他們在那裡的未來，因為他們在距離開賽僅有8天的時間裡開始了新的篇章。

And it took a while for hard to even communicate with his new head coach.

而硬是花了一段時間，連和他的新主教練溝通都沒有。

What's the nature of that relationship right now?

現在這種關係的性質是什麼？

Strictly business and Stephen Silas, the first year head coach has no interest in trying to recruit James Harden, are discussing.

嚴格的商業和斯蒂芬-西拉斯，第一年的主教練沒有興趣試圖招募詹姆斯-哈登，正在討論。

You know, As he put it, the rumors hardens.

你知道，就像他說的那樣，謠言會變硬。

Desire to leave Houston Silas just wants to talk basketball strategy.

欲離開休斯敦 西拉斯只想談談籃球策略。

They really did that for the first time yesterday, before hardened practice with Rockets.

昨天，在和火箭隊硬碰硬的訓練之前，他們真的是第一次這樣做。

Silas called it a good conversation, but again, this is X's and O's and the rest of the stuff.

西拉斯稱這是一次很好的談話，但這又是X的和O的和其餘的東西。

The trade situation.

貿易形勢；

That's for the Rockets front office to figure out Stephen Silence has his hands full with a rush training camp, trying to get this team ready to play.

這就需要火箭隊的前臺想辦法了，斯蒂芬-席爾瓦在匆忙的訓練營中忙得不可開交，他要讓這支球隊做好準備。

Well, that was my next question for you because you know this team so well.

好吧，這是我的下一個問題，因為你對這個團隊非常瞭解。

So, you know, there's barely I mean, we're going to start this season and about a week or so barely a preseason Harden hasn't been in the fold.

所以，你知道，幾乎沒有我的意思是，我們要開始這個賽季，大約一週左右的時間，幾乎沒有一個季前賽哈登一直在摺疊。

Their working new players in.

他們的工作新玩家在。

Can you just give us a sense of what kind of position this is putting the franchise in right now?

你能不能給我們一個感覺，這是把特許經營權放在什麼樣的位置，現在？

Well, certainly long term.

嗯，當然是長期的。

They know they have to get a good return if and when they trade James Harden, or it will be a long, painful rebuild in terms of immediately with a week to go in the preseason before this training or before the regular season starts.

他們知道，如果和詹姆斯-哈登交易的話，他們必須得到一個好的回報，否則在這次訓練前或者常規賽開始前還有一週的季前賽時間，馬上就會是一個漫長而痛苦的重建。

但你看，正如Stephen Silas借用他父親的話說，MBA不一定是更好的玫瑰。

He's had a lot of thorns early on.

他早期有很多荊棘。

Yeah, it is great that he has his dad to lean on one of the greats, Paul Silas.

是啊，他有他的爸爸，可以依靠一個偉大的人，保羅-西拉斯，真是太好了。

So I guess you know there's that positive.

所以我想你知道有這個積極性。

The Rockets do have media availability scheduled for later this hour, so we don't know whether James will be speaking.

火箭隊確實有媒體安排在這個小時的晚些時候，所以我們不知道詹姆斯是否會發言。

If he does, we'll bring it to you here on SportsCenter.
