[花邊] Bradley Beal:我一度要與Harden互換球隊

大概翻譯一下Bradly Beal談到他一度將從雷霆隊展開職業生涯的內文

Bradley Beal reveals he was almost traded to OKC for James Harden
Beal表示他一度要跟OKC的Harden互換球隊

Bradley Beal has been with the Washington Wizards for his entire eight-year
career, but he was almost never even a part of the team to begin with.
Beal生涯八年都待在巫師，但在他生涯一開始的時候有一度不在巫師隊的藍圖中

In an appearance this week on SHOWTIME Basketball’s “All the Smoke,” Beal
revealed that he was very nearly traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on draftnight in 2012 in exchange for James Harden.
當初在2012選秀大會時巫師準備拿我去交易OKC的James Harden

“The whole night, I kinda had a feeling I was going 2 or 3,” said the
All-Star guard. “We knew AD [Anthony Davis] was going 1. So I already knew I
was going to Charlotte or Washington. When we’re sitting in the draft room,
sure enough, my agent is tapping me like, ‘It’s possible you might go to
OKC.’ ‘Damn, how am I gonna go there? I didn’t even work out for OKC. I
only worked out for three teams: Washington, Cleveland, and Charlotte.’
我深信我是當年的榜眼或探花，當AD成為狀元後，我就知道我會去山貓或巫師了
但我的經紀人突然告知我:嘿你有可能到雷霆隊去喔!
我心想我甚至都沒去雷霆隊試訓餒，我只為巫師、騎士跟山貓隊試訓而已啊

“So the deal was to trade James to Washington, OKC trades up to 2 or 3, get
me, trade James to Washington,” Beal went on. “I’d have been in OKC with
KD [Kevin Durant] and Russ[ell Westbrook]. It was almost done.”
所以當時的交易是OKC把James Harden擺上談判桌，想弄來第2或第3順位
如果成的話，我將與KD以及西河聯手呢，其實當時交易也差不多定案了

By now we know that the Thunder were actively shopping Harden at the time andwound up trading him to the Houston Rockets in October that year in exchange
for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, and multiple draft picks. There he blossomed
into one of the NBA’s best players and won league MVP in 2018.
當時在兜售Harden的雷霆最後向火箭交易來小馬丁、Lamb還有一些選秀權
Harden在2018年獲得年度MVP

The landscape of the league would have looked very different though had the
Harden-Beal swap have gone through. Would the Thunder have had enough to makeit back to the NBA Finals like they did in 2012? Would Durant still have leftto sign with the Golden State Warriors in 2016? Would the dynamic duo of
Harden and John Wall have gone anywhere in the Eastern Conference (where the
Beal-Wall Wizards made three conference semifinal appearances in the middle
of the decade)?
如果交易成真，那麼當時聯盟版圖將會被大大改寫
雷霆有辦法拿下2012年總冠軍嗎?
2016年KD會離開雷霆嗎?
牆哥跟哈登可以在東區走得多遠呢?

KD+西河+Beal應該大有可為吧
這樣是不是可以拿兩冠????

Harden當時留不住啦 換來Beal應該有比小馬丁+Lamb好上一截吧，而且Beal還有3-4年的新人約要跑 雷霆在2012-2016起碼可以確立KD+西河+尾巴卡+Beal的主軸
