LeBron出來說話了 - NBA

The prolonged negotiations between the Cleveland Cavaliers and power forward
Tristan Thompson is starting to bother superstar LeBron James.

A night after James published a picture of himself with Thompson along with
the caption "get it done," James spoke to reporters after practice on Sunday
about the circus surrounding the holdout.


(這段這是在說James在Instagram的照片事件, 至於怎麼解釋這個貼文就看各位客倌的

立場囉)

James doubled down on his praise of Thompson's value, but he made a point to
dub the situation as a "distraction." James was careful to respect both the
autonomy of Thompson and of management, but James's message was directed at
both sides to, again, get it done.

"Right now it's the elephant in the room. Hopefully something can be resolved
sooner than later. I continue to say (Thompson's) value to us is extreme, as
we saw last year in the postseason and throughout the season," James said on
Sunday.


James在今天隊內訓練時終於說話了: "現在這個情形就像是"elephant in the room(意指

是大家都知道有個問題存在, 但因為太過麻煩而不去理會它), 我希望事情能趕快解決.

我要繼續這麼說, Thompson擁有的價值對我們來說極度的重要, 你可以看到他在季賽以及

季後賽(的表現)."


"I'm not here to talk about ... numbers - that's for both sides to figure
out," he continued. "But the last thing you need is a distraction when you're
trying to make a championship run and we have that right now.

"It's unfortunate from both sides, that we're going through it right now as a
team, and it's not an excuse - we will be ready to go - but hopefully
something happens in the near future."


James繼續說: "我不會去對合約價碼做評論, 那是雙方必須解決的事. 當你在追求總冠軍

的時候, 你會不想要的東西就是"distraction", 而我們現在就是這樣."


"這對雙方來說都是個不幸, 我們必須要以一個團隊的身分來克服它, 然而這不是個藉口,

我們將會準備好, 希望不久的未來很快就會有事情發生."
