If you're a team that is interested in finding a way to make yourself better, James Harden is an acquired taste, and I've always liked that expression.

如果你是一支有意尋找讓自己變得更好的球隊，詹姆斯-哈登是一種後天的味道，我一直很喜歡這種說法。

When I was a kid, I hated mustard.

當我還是個孩子的時候，我討厭芥末。

You couldn't put mustard near anything.

你不能把芥末放在任何東西附近。

I wouldn't eat it.

我不會吃它。

I didn't like the way it smelled.

我不喜歡它的味道。

Hot dogs see Brett stand in the street?

No, no, no mustard.

Hated mustard openly hated mustard.

Now I'm addicted to mustard.

現在我對芥末上癮了。

I love mustard.

You could put mustard on a shoe and I would eat it.

你可以把芥末放在鞋子上，我就會吃掉它。

That's how much I love mustard, So I acquired the taste.

我就是這麼喜歡芥末，所以我獲得了這種味道。

James Harden is kind of like that, because if you're going to bring James Harden and here's what he's going to do, he's going to put up huge numbers.

詹姆斯-哈登就是這樣的，因為如果你要帶詹姆斯-哈登，他要做的事情就是這樣，他會打出巨大的數據。

He's going to make your games interesting.

他將使你的遊戲變得有趣。

He's going to sell tickets, but is he going to help you win?

他要賣票，但他會幫你贏嗎？

That's really the question.

這才是真正的問題。

So if you're a bad team, I understand wanting Harden bad.

所以，如果你是一支糟糕的球隊，我理解想要哈登的壞。

Get better, Just let him do all the things he does, let him dribble the air out of the clock.

變得更好，只要讓他做他所做的一切，讓他把空氣從時鐘中運走。

Let him take step back threes.

讓他退一步三分。

He's a walking 30 point triple double.

他是一個行走的30分三雙。

But is there any evidence that suggests that a playing that way is a way to win and B that he is ever going to win when the games matter the most?

但有什麼證據表明A這樣打球是一種贏球的方式，B他在最重要的比賽時有可能贏嗎？

The answer to that both of those questions, is no.

這兩個問題的答案，都是否定的。

There's no evidence that anyone, any team who's lead player plays like that is going to win anything of consequence.

沒有證據表明，任何一個人，任何一支球隊的主力球員這樣打球，都不會贏得任何結果。

You're gonna win a bunch of regular season games.

你會贏得一堆常規賽。

What are you gonna win?

你要贏什麼？

The ones that matter to me, The answer is no.

對我來說很重要的人，答案是否定的。

And James Harden, We all know it.

還有詹姆斯-哈登，我們都知道。

The history is well documented.

歷史上有很多記載。

He's very, very good in a lot of months.

他在很多個月內都非常非常好。

But May is not one of them.

但梅不是其中之一。

That's just the reality of it.

這就是現實。

I don't mean that to sound nasty.

我不是說這聽起來很討厭。

I It sort of came out of my mouth maybe a little meaner than I meant it to.

從我嘴裡說出來的時候，可能比我想說的更刻薄一些。

I'm just making a statement of fact.

我只是在陳述事實。

His postseason performances speak for themselves.

他在季後賽的表現不言而喻。

So to me, the two places he seems to want to go Brooklyn and Philadelphia if you were the Sixers, are you trading Ben Simmons to get him?

所以在我看來，他似乎想去布魯克林和費城這兩個地方，如果你是六人隊，你是不是要用本-西蒙斯來交易他？

Because for the life of me, I can't figure out why Houston would trade him to Philadelphia if they weren't getting Ben Simmons back.

因為我實在想不通，如果休斯頓不把本-西蒙斯找回來，為什麼要把他交易到費城。

I believe that Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid will never win a championship together.

我相信，本-西蒙斯和喬爾-恩比德永遠不會一起贏得冠軍。

So in that regard, you might say to yourself, It's worth the risk.

所以在這方面，你可能會對自己說，值得冒這個險。

But honestly, I would say no.

但說實話，我會說不。

If I were Philadelphia, I would try and figure out another way to get this done.

如果我是費城人，我會試著想出另一種方法來完成這件事。

I might even just run it back again this season, as is with the new coach and hope he can figure out a way to make it work.

本賽季我甚至可能就像新教練一樣，再跑回來一次，希望他能想辦法讓它發揮作用。

But if it involves trading Simmons, I'm not doing it.

但如果涉及到交易西蒙斯，我就不幹了。

And then, as far as Brooklyn, the one question you have is what is K D doing while Kyrie and James Harden are averaging 20 seconds of dribbling per possession, So is that trade being made without Kyrie being a part of it?

然後，至於布魯克林，你的一個問題是，當凱里和詹姆斯-哈登平均每次運球20秒的時候，K D在做什麼，那麼這筆交易是不是在沒有凱里參與的情況下進行的？

I don't know if you're Houston, you do not have your back against the wall.

我不知道你是不是休斯頓，你是不是背靠著牆。

Harden cannot make you do anything.

哈登不能讓你做任何事情。

This is not Anthony Davis.

這不是安東尼-戴維斯。

In the last year of his contract, they can trade him wherever they want.

在他合同的最後一年，他們可以把他交易到任何地方。

Thio.

Thio.

And they cannot trade him if they don't want to.

如果他們不想交易他，也不能交易他。

So he can't dictate the terms.

所以他無法支配條款。

They can dictate the terms.

他們可以支配條款。

So if Brooklyn wants him, I don't know.

所以如果布魯克林想要他，我不知道。

Caris, Levert and Spencer didn't witty enough to say Okay, I'll give you James Harden.

卡里斯、萊弗特和斯賓塞不夠機智，說好吧，我給你詹姆斯-哈登。

I don't think it is.

我不認為它是。

But if you're Kevin Durant now, all of a sudden, if you're looking at the possibility of getting Harden, we're keeping Irving, I think I'm keeping Irving now.

但如果你現在是凱文-杜蘭特，突然間，如果你考慮到得到哈登的可能性，我們要留住歐文，我想我現在要留住歐文。

Kyrie needs to sort of get all this other stuff straightened out.

凱里需要把這些其他的東西都整理出來。

We just heard from Charles Barkley a few minutes ago if you're with me.

如果你和我在一起的話，幾分鐘前我們剛從查爾斯-巴克利那裡聽到了消息。

But if they work the off the court stuff out, I'd rather have.

但如果他們把球場外的事情解決了，我寧願要。

If I'm k d.

如果我是K D。

I'd rather have Kyrie on the court.

我寧願讓凱里上場。

As far as how the skills meld together, then harden so I believe Harden will get traded.

至於技能如何融會貫通，那就硬著頭皮上吧，所以我相信哈登會被交易。

But I don't think it's a simple as people make.

但我覺得這並不是人們說的那麼簡單。

It sounded.

它聽起來。

I'm not sure either of those are the places he's gonna wind up, and because he is exactly that he is mustard.

我不確定這兩個地方都是他要去的地方，因為他就是這樣的人，他就是芥末。

He is an acquired taste.

他是一個後天的味道。

I'm not 100% sure that's what either of those teams should want to do.

我不是100%確定這就是這兩支球隊應該想做的事情。
