So Clinton Should the Wizards regret trading John Wall?

那麼克林頓奇才隊應該後悔交易約翰-沃爾嗎？

You know, it's a tough question, and I'll start with just from the basketball standpoint.

你知道，這是個很難回答的問題，我只從籃球的角度出發。

The Wizards of quite obviously lost this trade.

的奇才隊很明顯輸掉了這筆交易。

We talked earlier in the show about how if you fall to a team like that, you probably got to re evaluate what you're doing.

我們之前在節目中說過，如果你落到這樣的球隊，你可能要重新評估你在做什麼。

They got the worst record in the East there, arguably the worst team in the league.

他們那裡拿到了東部最差的戰績，可以說是聯盟最差的球隊。

And on top of that Westbrook.

而在威斯布魯克的身上。

And this is not about him personally.

而這與他個人無關。

It's about the fact that the production that you hope from whomever that player might have been has simply not been there.

這是關於你希望從誰那裡得到的生產，不管那名球員可能是誰，根本就沒有。

Even if you get a so called nice amount of triple doubles from a basketball standpoint, it's a major issue.

即使從籃球的角度來看，你得到了所謂不錯的三雙數量，這也是個大問題。

The thing is, though, from a cultural standpoint and Barnes, I'm from D.

但問題是，從文化的角度和巴恩斯，我從D。

C.

C.

This is a very important thing to me, simply as a basketball fan Mawr largely never mind a fan of the MBA Was that the way that he got out of town?

這對我來說是一件非常重要的事情，僅僅作為一個籃球迷的毛爾很大程度上從來沒有介意過MBA的球迷是他出城的方式嗎？

They did him dirty.

他們把他弄髒了

You sold tickets against this guy coming back.

你賣了票，反對這傢伙回來。

You sold tickets against the plan for him and Bill to be the old house of czars, the backcourt that everybody wanted to see together, the backcourt that everybody assumed was going to grow and eventually become a contender.

你賣票反對他和比爾的計劃，他和比爾是沙皇的老家，是所有人都想看到的後場，是所有人都以為會成長並最終成為競爭者的後場。

And then to ship him off because of an incident like what we thought happened on I G Live and claiming that he's some sort of a bad guy who's not a character person.

然後因為像我們認為發生在I G直播上的事件，就把他運走，還說他是個什麼壞人，不是個有性格的人。

Unacceptable D.

不可接受 D．

Basketball fans know better.

籃球迷更清楚。

And it's not just about the n b A because we know stars because a lot of them come from where we're from.

而這不僅僅是n b A的問題，因為我們認識明星，因為很多明星都來自我們的家鄉。

So overall, I just think it was a bad taste in a lot of people about how it happened.

所以總的來說，我只是覺得這件事的發生，讓很多人都覺得很不是滋味。

Never mind who was involved.

別管是誰參與的。

The guy was the most important player in the franchise history under the name Wizards.

這傢伙是奇才名下加盟史上最重要的球員。

We all know that you can't just trade them away because you're upset about something that happened on social media.

我們都知道，你不能因為對社交媒體上發生的事情感到不滿，就把它們換走。

I completely agree.

我完全同意。

Um, you know he, him and Bradley building very, very similar From a standpoint of you know, what you're gonna get on the court but also productive citizens in the community, off the court.

嗯，你知道，他，他和布拉德利建立非常，非常相似 從一個角度來看，你知道，你會得到什麼 在球場上，但也生產的公民 在社區，在球場外。

I know they did a lot of giving back, and I know it left wizard fans with a bad taste in the mouth the way he exited.

我知道他們做了很多回饋，我也知道他退出的方式讓巫師粉絲們很不爽。

Um, do you regret it?

嗯，你後悔嗎？

Possibly, You know, Onley.

有可能，你知道，Onley.

They could tell us that.

他們可以告訴我們。

But at the same time, I kind of felt like there was also a ceiling with Brad and and John and what they were able to accomplish, and I kind of felt the same way.

但與此同時，我覺得布拉德和約翰也有一個上限，他們能夠完成的事情，我也有同樣的感覺。

Although Russell Westbrook is, um, or accomplished player, he's very similar to John Wall, you know, So to me, the question in D.

雖然拉塞爾-威斯布魯克是，嗯，或者說是有成就的球員，但他和約翰-沃爾非常相似，你知道，所以對我來說，問題在D。

C.

C.

Is Do you build around Brad, or do you trade him for young assets and completely rebuild?

你是要圍繞布拉德建立，還是要用他換取年輕的資產，然後徹底重建？

Because this is probably the worst team in the league, and they're not really going anywhere.

因為這可能是聯盟中最差的球隊，而且他們也不會真的去任何地方。

And you hate to see Bradley Bill waste all this great years for a non productive team.

而你也不願意看到布拉德利-比爾為一支沒有生產力的球隊浪費了這麼多年的好時光。

So, Clinton, you just said, you know, your lifelong Wizards fan and of course, you know they're in last place in the Eastern Conference is you alluded to a swell.

所以，克林頓，你剛才說，你知道，你一生的奇才球迷，當然，你知道他們在東部聯盟的最後一名是你暗示的膨脹。

How do they climb out of this situation?

他們如何爬出這個局面？

And what do you make of Mats comments there like his question to you?

你怎麼看待Mats的評論，比如他對你的問題？

Do you trade Bradley Beal and hit the Reset?

你要不要把布拉德利-比爾交易出去，然後按下重置鍵？

You know, I thought that in previous machinations of what this front office was and has been that that would have been the smart move.

你知道，我認為在以前的謀劃中，這個前臺是什麼，一直是什麼，這將是明智之舉。

But right now, Bradley is all you've got.

但現在，布拉德利是你的全部。

You've got a hope that he wants to stay, and you could find a way to get some sort of pennies on the dollar for players or picks a room for Westbrook down the line.

你有希望他想留下來，你可以想辦法用球員的錢來換取某種一分錢，或者給威斯布魯克挑個房間下線。

And then you just tank out and rebuild.

然後你就把坦克拿出來重建。

I mean, there's nothing else really that you can think of that's going to be hopeful.

我的意思是，沒有什麼其他的真的 你能想到的，將是有希望的。

And that's what the point is.

而這才是問題的關鍵所在。

Here.

給你

Barnes.

巴恩斯。

I know it sounds funny, but the hope of what John Wall brought in a scenario in which nobody ever believed they were going to contend is half the battle here.

我知道這聽起來很有趣，但約翰-沃爾帶來的希望在一個沒有人相信他們會爭奪的情況下是這裡的一半戰鬥。

And if you traded away the one guy anybody actually liked when nobody really cared, if they won anyway, what are you doing?

如果你在沒有人真正關心的時候，把一個大家都喜歡的人交易走了，如果他們贏了，你在做什麼？

That's what the issue is here.

這就是這裡的問題所在。

So hopefully Brad wants to hang around.

所以，希望布拉德想留下來。

Hopefully, they could get some pics, and maybe something happens.

希望他們能拍到一些照片，也許會發生一些事情。

But I don't trust this team across the street.

So, Matt, do you think Bill should stick around or should he want out?

所以，馬特，你認為比爾應該留在這裡還是應該退出？

You know, Bradley Bills always gonna do the right thing.

你知道，布拉德利-比爾斯總是會做正確的事情。

He's going to say the right thing is gonna continue to play hard.

But at the end of the day, if they take Clinton's, you know, idea and run with it, What is that?

但到了最後，如果他們把克林頓的想法，你知道，運行它，那是什麼？

What is that?

那是什麼？

A to three, possibly four year process, and all the while Bradley Bills leading the league in scoring and not going anywhere.

A到三年，可能是四年的過程，而布拉德利-比爾在聯盟中的得分領先，不會去任何地方。

So, like I said, I would hate to see him waste his time in his prime years.

所以，就像我說的，我不願意看到他在壯年時期浪費時間。

You saw his wife put out a tweet a couple weeks ago that they're tired of it.

你看到他妻子幾周前發了一條微博，說他們已經厭倦了。

He's a consummate pro.

他是一個完美的專業人士。

He's gonna show up and play every day, say the right thing, but I think that they need to let him, you know, cut his wings, let him free and go try to win a ring with allow him to win a ring somewhere else and rebuild George.

他每天都會出現並打球，說正確的事情，但我認為他們需要讓他，你知道，削減他的翅膀，讓他自由，去嘗試贏得一個戒指，讓他在其他地方贏得一個戒指，重建喬治。

Nobody thinks that We're always going to the Hall of Fame, But there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind seeing his number retired in D.

沒人認為我們會一直進名人堂 但有很多人不介意看到他的號碼在D區退役。
