: J.J.Redick provided new details of the Clippers’ famed encampment at the home
: of DeAndre Jordan during a podcast with Zach Lowe of Grantland on Friday,
: saying he was already in Houston when Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler
: Parsons started the Twitter war of emojis as both teams scrambled to get
: Jordan to sign with them.
: J.J.Redick(以下稱JJ)在禮拜五接受訪談時，
: 提供了一些關於快艇在DAJ家紮營的細節。
: 他也提到當CP25在twitter上發表了飛機的表情符號而開啟表情符號大戰時，
: 他其實人已經在休士頓了。
: Jordan, of course, reneged on a commitment to the Mavericks on Wednesday
: night, re-signing with the Clippers for four years and $87.6 million in one
: of the most dramatic reversals in the history of free agency.
: DAJ在星期三晚上時拒絕了小牛和他達成的口頭協定，
: 並和快艇續約了，合約內容為87.6M/4Y，
: 這場抓馬可稱得上是FA史上最戲劇化的事件之一。
: Redick said he was scrolling through his Twitter timeline earlier that day
: when he saw Parsons' plane emoji.
: 當CP25發表那則推特時，JJ也正在滑著推特。
: “Chandler Parsons to the rescue! Yay!” Redick told Lowe somewhat
: facetiously. “And I’m just like, all right, I’m going to tweet out a car. I
: ’m already here.”
: JJ說他當時心裡想的是，
: 「高富帥要登場救援啦~~~
: 好吧，那我就以一台車的符號回應，但其實我人早就到了。」
: Redick said he had already made the three-hour drive from his home in Austin
: as part of the Clippers’ efforts to get Jordan to back out of his commitment
: to the Mavericks. Teammate Blake Griffin had arrived the previous night,
: Redick said, and was eating dinner with Jordan at the time Jordan sent
: Mavericks owner Mark Cuban a text saying he was on a date.
: JJ早就從他在Austin的家中花了三小時車程過來，
: 為了要和快艇一起努力說服DAJ背叛他和小牛的合約。
: 而BG更是前一天晚上就來了，DAJ告訴Cuban他在約會時其實就是和BG吃晚餐。
: Redick described the scene at Jordan’s house as "less a pitch and more just
: team-building.” Players played spades on the kitchen table until abandoning
: the game when his parents came back with Cane’s chicken for the Clippers
: contingent. (The team of Chris Paul and Paul Pierce was beating Redick and
: Jordan at the time, Redick said.)
: JJ形容那時在DAJ家的場景不是紮營，而比較像是隊友間在聯絡感情。
: 大家在廚房裡玩牌直到DAJ的家人為快艇隊帶來烤雞，
: (附帶一提，CP3和PP那隊打敗了JJ還有DAJ)
: Meanwhile, Griffin was scouting Jordan’s home in his efforts to stage a
: picture he posted to Twitter of a chair wedged against the door, the
: implication being that the Clippers were trying to keep out the Mavericks.
: Redick said no one from the Mavericks came to Jordan’s house while he was
: there.
: 在他們打牌的同時，BG在推特上發表了用椅子擋門的照片，
: 來表達他守護DAJ所做出的努力，也表明了快艇就是不想讓小牛靠近DAJ。
: JJ表示他在DAJ家時沒看到小牛的任何人過來。
: Believing Jordan’s commitment to return to the Clippers was secure, Redick
: said he departed in the early evening to help his wife pack for a trip the
: next day. But he was so engrossed in keeping up with the developments that he
: took the wrong freeway and drove to San Antonio instead of back home.
: 相信DAJ會回到快艇，JJ在傍晚就為了要和老婆一起整理行李而先離開了。
: 但因為他太專心發漏抓馬的後續，所以走錯了路並開到SA。
: “What was supposed to be a three-hour drive,” Redick said, “became a
: four-hour-and-45-minute drive.”
: 原本三小時的車程就因為開錯路變成快五小時了XD
: Redick called Jordan’s decision to stay with the Clippers “vital” for the
: team because it allowed them to keep one of the NBA’s top rebounders and
: shot-blockers but acknowledged feeling “a little bit” bad for the Mavericks
: after Jordan not only backed out of his commitment but failed to inform Cuban
: of his decision.
: JJ表示DAJ決定和快艇續約的選擇是非常必要的，
: 因為這可以保持快艇的籃板和火鍋數量維持在聯盟前段，
: 不過他也對小牛感到有些抱歉，不只因為DAJ毀約，而且還不敢告訴Cuban他的決定。
: “There’s this discussion on Twitter about, ‘Is DeAndre wrong?’ or
: whatever,” Redick said. “This happens all the time in every business.”
: 「推特上有些關於DAJ的討論，大概就是『他有錯嗎?』之類的，
: 但沒有辦法，這就是商場，這很常發生。」，JJ表示。
: To illustrate his point, Redick said his agent called Minnesota in the summer
: of 2013 after he backed out of a commitment to sign with the Timberwolves and
: instead came to the Clippers. Redick also noted that then-Clippers owner
: Donald Sterling never called him to express his hesitation about the trade
: that brought Redick to Los Angeles “because he thought I was a bench player
: or because I was white—I’ve heard both stories.”
: 為了要說明他的論點，JJ提到在2013的夏天時，他的經紀人通知灰狼他不要和灰狼簽約，
: 而去了快艇。當時快艇的老闆史達林從來沒有叫他表達他對於當時交易的猶豫，
: 「可能因為我只是個板凳球員，或是因為我是白人，這兩種說法都有」
: Redick called Wednesday “the best day on Twitter maybe ever” because of the
: emoji war, saying he was unsure why Pierce tweeted out a picture of a rocket
: ship emoji instead of an actual rocket ship emoji since the veteran small
: forward had a couple of emoji apps on his phone.
: JJ說星期三是「可能是在推特上最美好的一天」，因為NBA球星之間的表情符號大混戰XD
: 但他不確定為什麼PP會發了火箭的圖片而不是表情符號，
: PP手機裡明明就有很多表情符號的APP阿。
: “Wednesday was like one hit after another,” Redick said. “It was like, ‘
: That’s the best tweet ever. No, wait a minute, that’s the best tweet ever.’
: ”
: 星期三就像是場不斷打出安打的比賽。
: 才覺得這篇應該是最好的推特，下一秒看到另一篇又變心了。
: Redick also denied that his giving the Clippers an "F-minus" earlier this
: week in free agency was an orchestrated attempt to try to put pressure on
: Jordan to return.
: JJ也否認了關於他幾天前對快艇今夏FA操作不及格的評論是為了給DAJ施加壓力。

剛剛也聽完這個訪問， 主持人 Zack Lowe問Redick DAJ 是不是欠Cuban一個解釋， 他說
不需要， 這是經紀人的責任， 他就以當時Sterling反悔也沒打給他。 其他電台主持人
也都說很多GM 老闆也都反悔過， 或者騙球員不會被交易。

但別人做過不表示可以合理化你的行為。

Cuban可有口頭答應然後反悔的前科？
