Harden took the power.

哈登奪得了權力。

That's the N B A.

這是N B A。

The billionaire owners have a de facto monopoly over professional basketball in North America, and if you want to play and get paid at the highest level, you have to do business with them.

億萬富翁的老闆們事實上壟斷了北美職業籃球，如果你想打球，想拿最高級別的薪水，就必須和他們做生意。

So they have an enormous advantage over the players union when they negotiate the collective bargaining agreement right and in return, what the players do is use what leverage they had and in the n B A.

所以他們在談判集體談判協議權的時候，比球員工會有巨大的優勢，而作為回報，球員們所做的就是利用他們的籌碼，在n B A。

Unlike the NFL or any other sport, really, a superstar player has enormous leverage because players are not as fungible as they are in the NFL, right?

不像NFL或者其他運動項目，真的，一個超級明星球員有巨大的影響力，因為球員不像NFL那樣可以變通，對吧？

You could almost replace anyone, with the exception of a few quarterbacks, Um, they're not, as they have an outsized impact on the fortunes of your team, unlike major league baseball or even the best player ever.

你幾乎可以取代任何人，除了幾個四分衛，嗯，他們不是，因為他們對你的球隊的命運有巨大的影響，不像大聯盟棒球甚至是有史以來最好的球員。

You Adam to a team that could still be in last place, right?

你亞當到一支可能還在最後的球隊，對吧？

So those superstars bend the letter of the law at the very least and violate the spirit of it for sure.

所以，那些超級明星最起碼彎曲了法律條文，違反了法律精神是肯定的。

When they exercise leverage, that's how they do it.

當他們行使槓桿的時候，他們就是這樣做的。

James Harden, sending a strong signal here.

詹姆斯-哈登，在這裡發出了一個強烈的信號。

I don't wanna be here anymore.

我不想再待在這裡了

You gotta let me go.

你得讓我走。

And he's right.

他說的沒錯

They have It's untenable.

他們已經站不住腳了。

You're not gonna be able to keep him there.

你不可能把他留在那裡。

Okay, Now, what are we really seeing here?

好了，現在，我們到底看到了什麼？

What we're seeing here is what happens when Daryl Morey and Mike D'Antoni leave because for all the complaining and for Tito was on our show, Stephen A was on first take and he wants to win, and I get it.

我們現在看到的是達里爾-莫雷和邁克-德安東尼離開後會發生的事情，因為所有的抱怨和鐵托都在我們的節目中，斯蒂芬-A是第一次接受採訪，他想贏，我明白了。

But if what you were getting wasn't good enough, careful, because what's coming next might be a lot worse.

但如果你得到的還不夠好，那就要小心了，因為接下來的事情可能會更糟糕。

The fact of the matter is the Rockets never had the talent to compete with anyone.

事實上，火箭隊從來沒有與任何人競爭的天賦。

They should have never been in the Western Conference finals in a Game seven against the Warriors with a healthy KD Clay, Steph Dre, the Warriors were fully loaded, right?

他們不應該在西部決賽第七場對陣勇士，在KD克萊、斯蒂芬德雷健康的情況下，勇士全員出動，對吧？

They had a 73 win team.

他們有一支73勝的球隊。

They added k d.

他們加了k d。

But they had to play a road game in a Game seven in the Western Conference finals.

但在西部決賽第七場比賽中，他們不得不打一場客場比賽。

And Chris Paul wasn't available because they hamstring and the Rockets had the worst shooting night of all time, at one point going zero for 27 from three and still the Warriors, only one by single digits.

而克里斯-保羅因為腿筋的原因不能上場，火箭隊也迎來了史上最差的投籃之夜，一度三分球27投0中，而且還是勇士隊，只有一位數的差距。

There's no I'm not saying you can argue Stephen A.

有沒有我不是說你可以爭論斯蒂芬-A。

Well, the Rockets wouldn't one anyway.

好吧，反正火箭隊不會一。

Fine.

好吧

I'm not even gonna argue that.

我甚至不打算爭論這個問題。

The point is the Rockets should have never come that close.

關鍵是火箭隊根本就不應該走到這一步。

How were they able to get that close?

他們怎麼能離得那麼近？

Because Daryl Morey is playing chess to a lot of GM checkers, and Mike D'Antoni was willing to say, The hell with what anyone thinks.

因為達里爾-莫雷正在對很多GM棋手下棋，而邁克-德安東尼願意說，見鬼的人怎麼想。

This is the way we're playing.

這就是我們的遊戲方式。

It's it's ugly.

這是它的醜陋。

If people will criticize if it doesn't work in the playoffs because we don't have enough talent is the truth.

如果在季後賽中行不通，人們會責備，因為我們沒有足夠的人才是事實。

I don't care, and it got them way closer than they ought to have been.

我不在乎，而且這讓他們比本該有的更接近。

Now what happens?

現在發生了什麼？

Fertitta thought.

費蒂塔想。

You know that's not good enough.

你知道這還不夠好。

Now Daryl Morey is gone.

現在達里爾-莫里走了

All hell breaks loose.

所有的地獄都會被打破。

Welcome to the way everyone else lives.

歡迎來到別人的生活方式。

When you don't have a truly great GM in place, this is what happens.

當你沒有一個真正偉大的總經理時，就會發生這樣的事情。

Did they give James Harden too much power?

他們是不是給了詹姆斯-哈登太多的權力？

Stephen A.

Stephen A.

You have to ask yourself if you're in owner in the n B A.

你得問問自己，你是不是在n B A的業主。

Do you want a superstar or not?

你到底要不要超級明星？

Because really, you probably need to to win to win a championship.

因為真的，你可能需要贏了才能贏得冠軍。

Two superstars, Not just one, because this is what happens when you have a superstar.

兩個超級明星，不只是一個，因為這是你有一個超級明星時的情況。

You have to play ball with them because they exert enormous influence.

你必須和他們合作，因為他們的影響力很大。

They do have leverage.

他們確實有槓桿作用。

So either you want to be a great team of the chance for a championship or you don't want to deal with this headache.

所以，要麼你想成為一支有機會奪冠的偉大球隊，要麼你不想面對這個令人頭疼的問題。

It's one or the other.

要麼選擇一個，要麼選擇另一個。

You're missing the point and the reason why you're missing the point.

你錯過了重點，也錯過了原因。

Max Kellerman is because you're talking about what James Harden is doing now as he's trying to exit from the Houston Rockets.

馬克斯-凱勒曼是因為你說的是詹姆斯-哈登現在正在做的事情，因為他正試圖從休斯頓火箭隊退出。

The story that was published today is what he was doing when he was happy when he got his money when he had his GM when he had his head coach.

今天發表的故事，就是他高興的時候，他拿錢的時候，他有總經理的時候，他有主教練的時候，他在做什麼。

When he had to play his he chose.

當他不得不玩他的他選擇。

There's a difference, and what I'm talking about is when you have that backdrop, this is what you are when you're happy.

這是有區別的，我說的是當你有這個背景的時候，這就是你幸福的時候。

Then you sit up here and you act like this.

然後，你坐在這裡，你這樣的行為。

Now, even though I completely support him wanting out of Houston, if that's what you want, that's what you want.

雖然我完全支持他離開休斯敦 但如果這是你想要的，那就是你想要的。

I don't like the fact that he's doing that with Stephen Solace, an African American who told you know who worked for 20 years as an assistant.

我不喜歡他和斯蒂芬-索拉斯這樣做的事實，一個非洲裔美國人，他告訴你，他做了20年的助手。

But the point is, is that he is doing now what some people are saying he did when he was happy.

但問題是，他現在做的事情，就是有些人說的他快樂時做的事情。

And then you brought up the Warriors.

然後你又提起了勇士隊。

I got news.

我有消息。

You could sit up there and say they should.

你可以坐在上面說他們應該。

You're sure that probably you could sit up there and say they should have gone to the finals, Fine.

你肯定，可能你可以坐在那裡 You're sure that probably you could sit up there 說他們應該進入決賽，Fine and say they should have gone to the finals, Fine.

But other than the Warriors, there was nobody better than them in the Western Conference, so they absolutely should have been in the Western Conference finals.

但是除了勇士之外，在西部聯盟中沒有人比他們更好，所以他們絕對應該進入西部決賽。

There's nobody better than in the Western Conference because of the way they played ball.

因為他們打球的方式，沒有人比在西部聯盟更好。

They didn't have so much talent on that team.

他們那支球隊沒有這麼多的人才。

They had James Harden on that team and Chris Paul was hurt.

他們那支球隊裡有詹姆斯-哈登，克里斯-保羅也受傷了。

And yet, still, they extended the Warriors in that game, even when they had a miserable shooting performance.

然而，他們還是在那場比賽中延續了勇士隊的表現，即使他們的投籃表現很糟糕。

Wait, here's my point, Stephen A.

等等，這就是我的觀點，Stephen A.

It's interesting to me.

我覺得很有趣

I'm not debating that point with you.

我不是在和你爭論這一點。

Now we're examining you're doing the post mortem.

現在我們在檢查你的屍檢情況。

Seeing what happened, maybe they spoil them a little bit or or gave him too much power.

我明白你可以進入。

It's interesting to me, the bigger picture.
