原文出處： http://www.sacbee.com/351/story/99559.html 去年的新聞了，簡單翻譯一下 Evasive Petrie downplays talk of Artest trade Petrie 冷處理的談論 Artest 的交易 Despite a report claiming the Kings could be days from trading Ron Artest to the Los Angeles Clippers for Corey Maggette, all indications are that the deal will not go down. 儘管有報導聲明了國王隊將交易 Artest 到快艇隊換取 Maggette，但目前看來交易 並沒有實現。 And while Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie would not discuss the potential trade for Maggette that was reported in the Los Angeles Times, he did speak of Artest as if he weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Petrie 不討論這項可能的交易並說明近期內 Artest 將不會被交易到任何地方。 "His happiness level is fine," Petrie said before the Kings faced Philadelphia onld on Wednesday night at Arco Arena. "He has a very large performance bank account. A lot of people have forgotten what it was like around here before he got here. "I guess you could sum (the trade talk) up this way. It's a lot of noise, mostly white noise, like when a hen oodles -- wow, lays an egg -- and it makes a sound like it made a meteor." Petrie 說明阿泰的情緒沒有問題，並且對國王隊貢獻良多。 The Artest situation has continued to escalate as the Kings have continued to slump. His happiness level has come into serious question, not only for the present but the larger question of whether he wants to be in Sacramento at all. 阿泰繼續讓走向衰敗的國王重新振作，但他的情緒會是個嚴重的問題，不只是出場， 更重要的是他是否還想待在沙城。 Asked about Artest's locker room impact and any potential influence on teammates, Petrie said: "He has some esoteric qualities. A lot of people do." As for whether Artest has approached management with a desire to be traded, Petrie would only say, "That's a hypothetical question that you're going to have to save." 而被問到 Artest 是否會影響其他的隊友，Petrie 則說『他有神秘的特質！』 至於再被問到阿泰是否有要求被交易，Petrie 更是官方式的說這只是一個假設性 問題。 Miller move -- When newly acquired 76ers point guard Andre Miller was traded last week from Denver to Philadelphia, there was disappointment beyond anything relating to X's and O's. Miller, who grew up in Los Angeles and lives in El Dorado Hills in the offseason, knew that playing in the Eastern Conference meant fewer visits home. "I'm further away, but that's a part of business," said Miller, who was part of the deal bringing Allen Iverson to the Nuggets. "But everything's good. It's going to take some time, but it'll be all right." He had a small group of family members attending Wednesday's game, including one woman who comes to Arco Arena even when Miller isn't in town. His aunt, Marsha, is a Maloof Sports & Entertainment employee, a friendly face who welcomes cars into the parking lot on game nights, checks in media members and made no secret about her desire for the Kings to put her nephew in purple. 上面這一段在講 Andre Miller 的 一些事情，包括他的心情，背景，以及他的親戚跟 沙城的一些淵源。 所以結論就是你從 Petrie 的口中套不出甚麼鳥來，目前看來交易是被取消了， 我再找找之前說有內鬼的那篇文章貼出來。 然而真的沒有交易了嗎？ who knows... --
