: Popo稱他以前帶過的球員從來沒有人說過這樣的話。
: Popo隨後與Aldridge多次會面，他表示：
: 「我會很開心能把你交易走，如果能換來一個像是Kevin Durant的優秀球員，
: 我會親自開車載你去機場，幫你打包、上飛機、帶到位子上。
: 但是很可惜的，我接下來一年依然會是你最好的夥伴，因為你還要再待一年，
: 你哪裡都不能去。你換不到我們想要的其他東西。所以我們得一起努力。」

語言真的是很妙的東西，我們來看看原文
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was asked what helped to bring about LaMarcus
Aldridge's resurgence: "When he said, ‘I want to be traded.' It's as simple
as that. I said, ‘Woah, nobody's ever said that to me before.' It's my
20-whatever year, and nobody's ever said that like, ‘I'm not enjoying this.
I'm not confident. I'm not sure you want me here. I want to be traded.'"
Popovich was asked if that conversation took place after the season. "Yes,
yes. I thought that's already been public? So, we had some dinners and
meetings and laughed. I was very candid with him. I told him, ‘I'd be happy
to trade you. You get me a talent like Kevin Durant, and I'll drive you to
the airport. I'll pack your bags. And I will drive you there, get you on the
plane, and get you seated.' He laughed you know, that kind of thing. I said,
‘But short of that, I'm your best buddy because you're here for another
year, and you ain't going nowhere. Because we're not gonna get for you
talent-wise what we would want. So, let's figure this thing out.' And we did.
That's what we came to. As discussions went on, it became apparent to me that
it really was me. He's been playing in the league for nine years. I'm not
going to turn him into some other player. I could do some things defensively
or rebounding-wise. But on offense, I was going to move him everywhere. That
was just silly on my part. Total overcoaching. So, we took care of it, and
he's been fantastic."
上色的地方是Pop所說的話，如果是我翻譯的話會這樣寫：
LA：老大，我沒辦法樂在其中，我沒信心，我不確定你想要我留下，我想被交易。
Pop：好啊，我會很高興把你交易出去，你會為我帶來像是KD一樣的球員，然後我
載你去機場，幫你打包行李然後送你上飛機，幫你鋪好位子。
LA：哈哈哈。
Pop：但簡單來說，我會是你最好的夥伴，因為你會在這再一年，哪裡都不會去。
我們並不會因為送走你就得到我們想要的天賦，所以讓我們認清現實吧。
簡單來說，Pop根本沒酸Aldridge，反而是用幹話跟懷柔方式留他下來。
