You know, with the rebirth for the Knicks, because the city is giddy, man.

你知道，隨著尼克斯隊的重生，因為這座城市是暈眩的，男人。

I mean, they had a parade just for them to be five hundred.

我的意思是，他們有一個遊行 只是為了他們是500。

Man, you have people walking down the street like they were like they won a championship.

夥計，你讓人們走在街上，就像他們贏得了一個冠軍。

So, you know, are you excited about the future?

那麼，你知道，你是否對未來感到興奮？

And now, are the Knicks cool enough to maybe attract a star?

而現在，尼克斯隊是否足夠酷炫，或許能吸引到一位球星？

And do they make that before the trade deadline?

那他們會在交易截止日期前做嗎？

Or do they wait till the offseason?

還是要等到淡季？

Try and get over Depot?

試著越過Depot？

Is he a starting?

他是一個開始？

Let me answer that first question first, when I think about the Knicks, I'm incredibly excited, and I'm proud of the job they're doing.

讓我先回答第一個問題，當我想到尼克斯隊時，我非常興奮，我為他們所做的工作感到驕傲。

I'm proud of Leon Rose.

我為Leon Rose感到驕傲。

I'm proud of my man worldwide West, William Wesley, Scott Perry to GM, and I can't say enough about Tom Thibodeau because I think I've always felt he was a hell of a coach.

我為我的人全球西部、威廉-韋斯利、斯科特-佩裡到總經理感到驕傲，我對湯姆-錫伯杜的評價也是無以復加，因為我覺得我一直覺得他是一個地獄般的教練。

Um, and I think he's proven that yet again.

嗯，我想他又一次證明了這一點。

The guy lives, eats and breathes basketball.

這傢伙靠籃球為生，靠吃，靠呼吸。

There's nothing else going on in his life that we know of.

據我們所知，他的生活中沒有其他事情。

There's nothing else that he wants to give.

他沒有什麼其他想要給的東西。

The impression is going on in his life.

印象中，他的生活正在進行。

other than basketball.

籃球以外的。

And you know that every night, the next step out on the court, they are going to be well prepared.

而且你知道，每天晚上，下一步出場，他們都會做好充分的準備。

Whether they play officially or not remains to be seen, but they're going to be well prepared.

是否正式比賽還不得而知，但他們會做好充分的準備。

And so I picked it up and they're going to have heart.

於是我拿起了它，他們要有心了。

You're not going to be a soft team being coached by Tom Thibodeau.

由湯姆-錫伯杜執教，你不會成為一支軟弱的球隊。

He's not gonna have it.

他不會得到它。

He's a rough rider.

他是個粗暴的騎手。

You're not going to be soft, Okay, so we know they're going to compete.

你不會心軟的，好吧，所以我們知道他們要競爭。

We know they're going to defend.

我們知道他們會防守。

As a result, we know they're gonna be in more games than not, which makes them respectable.

是以，我們知道他們會參加更多的比賽，這讓他們值得尊敬。

And I would tell you I would go so far as to say this to both of you guys.

而我要告訴你，我竟然要對你們兩個人說這句話。

If the New York Knicks make it to the first round of the playoffs, but the Nets don't make it to the Finals, the Knicks will actually have had a more successful season than the Brooklyn Nets.

如果紐約尼克斯隊打進了季後賽首輪，但籃網隊沒有進入總決賽，那麼尼克斯隊其實比布魯克林籃網隊度過了一個更加成功的賽季。

Because what were we expecting from them?

因為我們對他們有什麼期待？

But we're expecting everything from the Brooklyn Nets when you assemble Lethal Weapon three.

但我們對布魯克林籃網隊的一切都充滿了期待，當你組建致命武器三隊時。

Anything less than the birth to the to the NBA Finals is unacceptable, but the New York Knicks getting to the playoffs with a respectable being, a respectable five hundred or above five hundred team.

任何比出生到到NBA總決賽都是不可接受的，但是紐約尼克斯隊進入季後賽，是一個值得尊敬的存在，一個值得尊敬的五百強或者五百強以上的球隊。

I mean, my God, that's an incredible achievement.

我的意思是，我的上帝，這是一個令人難以置信的成就。

Nobody would have anticipated that.

誰也不會想到。

So that's the position that they're in right now.

所以這就是他們現在的處境。

Now, here's where it gets a bit tricky when you talk about attracting stars.

現在，當你說到吸引明星的時候，這裡就有點棘手了。

I am of the belief that if Leon Rose in World wide West, we're here with Scott Perry, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving would have been in the New York Knicks uniform.

我是相信，如果萊昂-羅斯在世界寬廣的西部，我們這裡的斯科特-佩裡、凱文-杜蘭特和凱里-歐文都會穿上紐約尼克斯的制服。

I believe they would have.

我相信他們會有。

I believe they would have pulled that off, but they did, but they weren't here.

我相信他們會成功的，但是他們做到了，但是他們不在這裡。

So as a result, what you're seeing now is culture building taking place before our very eyes.

所以結果，你現在看到的是文化建設在我們眼前發生。

Just establishing.

只是建立。

There's a certain way we're gonna do things.

我們有一個特定的方式，我們要做的事情。

We're seeing James Dolan not making headlines with petty, petulant behavior that's making the back pages getting in the way of basketball operations.

我們看到詹姆斯-多蘭並沒有用小氣、嬌氣的行為上頭條，讓後邊的版面妨礙了籃球的運作。

He's staying out of the way and let Leon Rose and those guys do their things.

他不插手，讓Leon Rose和那些人做他們的事。

My only concern is that Tom Thibodeau, that great coach that I respect so much he's too much of a rough rider at times, and sometimes I worry about him taking his foot off the gas because that might not attract players.

我唯一擔心的是湯姆-錫伯杜，那個我非常尊敬的偉大教練，他有時候太粗暴了，有時候我擔心他把腳從油門上移開，因為那可能吸引不了球員。

You can't have Julius Randle playing back to back thirty eight and forty minutes nights like he did prior to the NBA All Star break.

你不能讓朱利葉斯-蘭德爾像NBA全明星賽前那樣，背靠背打出三十八分四十分鐘的夜晚。

You can't have stuff like that happening.

你不能有這樣的事情發生。

You don't want to do that to him.

你不會想這樣對他的。

Even a guy like Nerlens Noel.

即使是像Nerlens Noel這樣的人。

That's not a big deal because he's coming off the bench and all the things he was in there that much because Mr Robinson got hurt.

這沒什麼大不了的，因為他是從板凳上下來的，所有的事情他都在那裡，因為羅賓遜先生受傷了。

I get it, but you have to monitor the minute you forth.

我明白了，但你必須監控你的一分鐘。

God's could play because of Thibodeau's reputation in Chicago.

神的能打，是因為錫伯杜在芝加哥的名聲。

That's what you have to be careful of because even though Derrick Rose loves them and it's happy to be back playing for him and stuff like that when Gar Forman and Paxson on those boys in Chicago, there was a lot of noise about the relationship Thibodeau did not have with those guys because they thought about doing stuff one way and Thibodeau thought about doing it another way.

這就是你要小心的地方，因為即使德里克-羅斯喜歡他們，而且很高興能回到為他打球之類的東西，當加-福曼和帕克森在芝加哥的那些男孩時，有很多噪音關於錫伯杜與那些傢伙的關係並不存在，因為他們以一種方式思考做事情，而錫伯杜以另一種方式思考。

And then when you went to Minnesota, he tried to alter that a little bit and it kind of alienated Jimmy Butler because he felt like he wasn't hard enough on Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.

當你去了明尼蘇達，他試圖改變這一點，這有點疏遠吉米-巴特勒，因為他覺得自己對卡爾-安東尼-唐斯和安德魯-威金斯不夠嚴厲。

So you've got to find a happy medium where you're not taking your foot off the gas, but you're not pushing the pedal to the metal either, in order to attract the right free agent.

所以，你必須找到一個快樂的中間，你不把你的腳離開油門，但你不推踏板的金屬，為了吸引合適的自由球員。
