There’s also a tough-love side to this story. Gortat’s agent mentioned wanting a full mid-level exception. That amounts to around $30 million over five years.
（戈塔特的经纪人提到过想要一份全中产合同，在未来5年得到3000万左右）

The Rockets aren’t offering nearly that much and apparently aren’t prepared to go higher. They’ve assigned a value to Gortat, and if, say, the Mavericks are offering more, the Rockets are prepared to lose him.
（火箭并不打算提供接近那么大的数目，据说也不准备给得更多。他们已经提供一个报价给戈塔特，如果小牛准备给得更多，火箭将准备失去他）

While Morey wants a competitive team next season, he seems unwilling to take his eye off the big picture. Unless the Rockets can acquire a superstar this summer, they want to retain their payroll flexibility for next summer, when there’ll be a bumper crop of free agents available.
（莫雷想使火箭在下个赛季成为一支有竞争力的队伍。他们仍然想为下个夏天保持薪资空间的弹性，除非在这个夏天火箭能够得到一个超级球星）
