Green, the former No. 2 pick who spent the first four seasons of his career as the cornerstone of the Rockets’ rebuild, said that he wasn’t surprised last month by Houston’s decision to trade him to Phoenix as part of a package to acquire Kevin Durant. “Yeah, I had a feeling. They’ve been trying to trade me since last year,” Green told the Chronicle. “I’m not tripping. It’s for the better of the team. I know it’s a business at the end of the day. I really can’t handle how I feel. Whatever happens, happens. At the end of the day, I still got the opportunity to play basketball.” 這位前榜眼，在火箭度過職業生涯前四季，並一直是球隊重建計畫的核心人物。他表示對 於上個月休士頓將他交易至鳳凰城，作為換取Kevin Durant包裹的一部分，他並不感到意 外。 「對啊，我早就有預感，他們從去年就開始想交易我了」 Green對《休士頓紀事報》表示：「我沒有太在意，這是為了球隊更好。我知道這終究是 一門生意，我真的不知道該怎麼面對自己的感受，該來的總是會來，至少我還能繼續打球 ，這才是最重要的。」 Green said that he was notified of the trade first in a call from Rockets general manager Rafael Stone, and then by his agent. Stone said this week that the decision to part with Green was not an easy one, adding that Green "did everything we asked." Green表示，最早通知他交易消息的是火箭總管Rafael Stone，隨後則是他的經紀人。 Stone本週受訪時表示，與Green分道揚鑣的決定並不容易，並補充說：「他完成了我們 要求他做的一切。」 Green isn’t going it alone; he is joined on the Suns by former Rockets teammate Dillon Brooks, also part of the Durant trade. And Green said he is looking forward to teaming up in the backcourt with Booker, who this week agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension with the Suns. While in Las Vegas for summer league, Green said he planned to meet up with some former Rockets teammates including Jabari Smith Jr. And just as he emphasized in his heartfelt farewell post on Instagram, Green wanted to stress that there’s no bad blood between him and the city he once called home. 他並不是孤身前來，前火箭隊友Dillon Brooks也在這筆Durant交易案中一同加入太陽隊 。而Green表示，他非常期待與Booker組成的後場搭檔。Booker本週才與太陽隊完成一紙 兩年總值1.45億美元的頂薪續約。 「我覺得很棒，也很興奮」Green談到與Booker搭檔時說：「我覺得一定會很猛，他絕對 會大殺四方……我們會讓世界震驚。」 Green表示，他這次來夏季聯賽計劃與Jabari Smith Jr.等前隊友聚會。 而就像他在Instagram上那篇深情告別的貼文所強調的那樣，Green想讓大家知道，他對曾 經效力的那座城市毫無芥蒂。 “I love H-Town,” Green said. “It’ll always be love in Houston.” 「我愛H-Town。」 Green說：「我對休士頓永遠有愛。」 來源:https://reurl.cc/pYmyzl -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.85.72 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1752338823.A.3F5.html
