James on ce again added fuel to the fire by having some nice things to say about the Clev eland Cavaliersin the most recent episode of the Mind the Game Podcast after the ir moves to acquire James Harden, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis at the trade d eadline. 隨著 LeBron James 與 Los Angeles Lakers 的現有合約將在本季結束後到期，關於他可能 重返 Cleveland Cavaliers的傳聞甚囂塵上。最近在《Mind the Game Podcast》最新一集 中，James 再度為這些傳聞添柴加火，他對騎士在交易截止日前引進 James Harden、Denni s Schroder 與 Keon Ellis 的操作給予高度評價。 First, LeBron was complimentary of the team going out and getting Harden. 首先，LeBron 讚揚球隊補進 Harden 的決定。 “They felt like they needed another playmaker, someone that’s been there, kind of been in this situation before, and they added James, perennial All-Star who ’s still putting up All-Star numbers,” James said. “He gives Donovan Mitchell another, like, ball handler guy who can make shots late in the game.” 「他們覺得自己需要另一名組織者，一個有經驗、曾處於這種情境中的人，而他們加入了 J ames——一位長年入選 All-Star、現在仍打出 All-Star 數據的球員，」James 表示。「 這讓 Donovan Mitchell 身邊多了一位能持球、也能在比賽末段投進關鍵球的球員。」 LeBron seems like he has a lot of respect for Harden. Back in June 2024, Rich Pa ul said that his client would accept a paycut from the Lakers if it meant he cou ld play with an established playmaker or big man. Harden was one of the players Paul listed. LeBron 似乎對 Harden 抱有相當大的敬意。早在 2024 年 6 月，Rich Paul 曾表示，如果 Lakers 能替 LeBron 找來一位成熟的組織者或優質內線，他願意接受降薪。Harden 正是 Paul 當時提到的球員之一。 Making the move to acquire Schroder and Ellis also received the king’s blessing . 至於補進 Schroder 與 Ellis 的操作，也獲得這位「國王」的肯定。 ”Those pickups that they got from Sac as well,” James said. “Schroder, a form er teammate of mine, you know that’s going to compete every single night, and K eon Ellis, the guy’s going to compete, make shots. Like, those guys are going t o be, I think, really, really good for that team, especially in the East, where it’s a lot of bulk.” 「還有他們從 Sac 得到的那些補強，」James 說。「Schroder，我以前的隊友，你知道他 每晚都會全力競爭；還有 Keon Ellis，那傢伙會拚、也能投籃。我認為這些人會對那支球 隊非常、非常有幫助，尤其是在東區——那裡對抗強度很高。」 LeBron — like seemingly every man over 35 years-old in America — has a podcast . He talks about the NBA, and Cleveland’s moves at the deadline have been mostl y praised. From that perspective, his doing so isn’t newsworthy. LeBron——就像美國幾乎所有 35 歲以上的男性一樣——也有自己的 Podcast。他談論 NBA ，而 Cleveland 在交易截止日前的操作大多獲得好評。從這個角度來看，他的稱讚並不算 新聞。 At the same time, LeBron has been in this business for a long time. He knows tha t his words have meaning, and he sees all the noise about him returning to Cleve land. If he wanted to quiet that down, he’d avoid talking about his former team — especially on his podcast, where he presumably controls what gets released. 但同時，LeBron 在這個圈子已經打滾多年。他知道自己的話有分量，也看得到外界對他可 能重返 Cleveland 的各種聲音。如果他真的想讓這些傳聞降溫，他大可以避免談論老東家 ——尤其是在他能掌控內容的 Podcast 上。 We’ll see what happens this summer. In the meantime, James believes the Cavs ar e better prepared for the playoffs now. 今年夏天會發生什麼，我們拭目以待。至少目前，James 認為 Cavs 已為季後賽做好更充分 的準備。 “You’ve got to have some dogs in there, so I think they added a lot.” 「你必須要有幾個狠角色，所以我認為他們補強了很多。」 - 大家想再次聽到Cleveland, this is for u 嗎！？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.136.133.33 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1771478995.A.716.html
