A player talking about his teammates as if he holds authority over their employment status will always read as a disrespectful overreach.
倘若一名球员对其队友指指点点，就好像能够左右他们的就业状态一样，这样的行为总会被解读为不尊重他人的越权行为。
Irving left Boston to sign with Brooklyn last summer.
去年夏天，欧文同波士顿凯尔特人队分道扬镳，与布鲁克林篮网队签约。
The split seemed mutually beneficial to both Irving and the Celtics, but it still drew criticism and boos from his former fan base.
这一举动看似对欧文个人和凯尔特人队都有益，但仍招致了欧文昔日球迷的批评和嘘声。
After requesting a trade in 2017 to leave LeBron James, Irving is no stranger to outsiders questioning his judgement,
自2017年提出交易请求意欲离开勒布朗·詹姆斯之后，外界对欧文的判断力再次提出了质疑，
but committing to Brooklyn represented a new kind of free will that Irving hadn't experienced before.
但是欧文加盟布鲁克林篮网的承诺代表着一种全 新的自由意志，这是他此前从未经历过的。
He joined the Nets with the intention of heading the venture both on the court and off of it.
怀揣着成为球队场内外领袖的意图，欧文加盟了布鲁克林篮网。
Zoomed out, locker room relations have been the pitfall of Irving's prime.
退一步说，更衣室关系一直是欧文巅峰时期的诟病话题。
He earned a worrisome reputation for being annoying and, at times, destructive during his two seasons in Boston.
因为恼怒，甚至有时具有攻击性，欧文在波士顿两个赛季的声望都很糟糕。
Former Celtics have told the media that their former point guard wasn't to blame, that sometimes people just don't fit.
前凯尔特人球员告诉媒体，他们的前控球后卫不应受到指责，是人们不适应他的行事风格。
Maybe if it weren't for the fresh supply of comments from Kyrie every other month, that defense would hold more weight.
要不是因为欧文每隔一个月就会发表新的评论，这种维护也许会更有分量。
Locker room tiffs included, it's Irving's time off the court altogether that's been the crux of his career.
包括更衣室的争吵在内，欧文在赛场外的时间成为了他职业生涯的症结。
He's never played a full 82 games in a season, reaching 67 games in 2018-19 and 60 in 2017-18,
他从来没有在哪一个赛季打满82场比赛。2018-19赛季他打了67场，2017-18赛季他打了60场，
and has already missed 26 games this season—a stretch that led to the statistically misleading narrative that the Nets were better off without him.
而本赛季他已经缺席了26场比赛——统计上，这导致了一种误导性评判，即没有他篮网会更好。
The risk in building something of your own is the exposure if it doesn't succeed.
不成功便成仁。
The worst hasn't happened for Irving: Durant will return next season, and the Nets'role players—those he wishes to keep, I guess—will continue to improve in the meantime.
对欧文来说最糟糕的事情尚未发生：杜兰特将在下赛季回归。与此同时，篮网队中那些他希望留下与其继续携手的角色球员也会不断进步。
But there's a separate, condensed timeline for injury-prone players on injury-prone teams, one which, stresses out Irving.
但是，在伤兵满营的球队里，每个易受伤的球员都有各自的固定的复出时间线，这给欧文带来了不小压力。
A rough first year doesn't fit with his vision. That's transparent.
布满荆棘的第一年并没满足欧文的幻想，这是显而易见的。
