【歷史沒有如果】當年CP3交易的蝴蝶效應？!

文／阿怪

NBA本季的聖誕大戰，特地安排洛城德比對抗：快艇戰湖人。只見八屆全明星控衛Chris Paul技壓湖人小將D'Angelo Russell，帶領空拋之城輕鬆擊敗本季結束將高掛球鞋的傳奇後衛Kobe Bryant所領軍的紫金軍團。

只是在另一個平行時空中，或許是Bryant攜手Paul上演showtime 2.0，面對快艇生猛有力的一雙年輕後場Eric Bledsoe與Eric Gordon。然而這一切的改變，或許都得回溯到2011年的12月。

2011年的蝴蝶效應

美國氣象學家Edward Lorenz在1979年的一場演講談到，一隻蝴蝶在巴西搧動翅膀，有可能會導致德州引起一場龍捲風。係指初始條件微小的變化，卻能引起整個系統的長期巨大連鎖反應。

而2011年12月震驚聯盟的Paul交易案若成真，或許就是一個蝴蝶效應範例：紫金王朝有望迎接另一個盛世，也可能促成John Wall與Anthony Davis並肩作戰，或是雷霆早就高捧金盃，甚至是Bryant與LeBron James已然上演眾人期盼的總冠軍經典對決。然而這一切的可能，都伴隨著當時聯盟總裁David Stern一句『籃球因素』的理由，給一併否決掉了。

回首當年，正值封館球季，經歷一番勞資協商，停擺五個月的新球季正式重啟，然而卻爆出三方交易底定的大新聞：

洛杉磯湖人獲得黃蜂(現鵜鶘)Chris Paul交易出Pau Gasol、LaMar Odom

休士頓火箭獲得湖人Pau Gasol交易出Goran Dragic、Luis Scola、Kevin Martin及2012選秀權

紐澳爾良黃蜂獲得湖人Lamar Odom、火箭Goran Dragic、Luis Scola、Kevin Martin及2012選秀權交易出Chris Paul

傾頹的聖城：馬刺的防守從未如此之糟

洛杉磯雙雄都相形遜色？公鹿很可能是本季唯一主宰

這無疑讓湖人獲得隊史自Magic Johnson之後的最佳控衛，當時26歲的Paul兩度拿下助攻及抄截王，生涯前六年場均18.7分、9.9助攻、2.4抄截。然而許多球隊老闆並不贊成，尤其是剛走了王牌球員James的小市場球隊騎士老闆Dan Gilbert就極力反對，還寫了封落落長的信件向Stern陳述反對理由。當時黃蜂正由聯盟託管，因此其餘29支球隊可以說是集體擁有黃蜂的管理權，由於許多老闆並不支持這個促成紫金強權復辟的交易，最終Stern拍版定案以『籃球因素」為由，否定了這個交易，也讓湖人及Paul吃了悶虧，大嘆不解。

Paul只能在推特上寫下『哇！』來傳達自己的無奈。而湖人總管Mitch Kupchak則說湖人已經盡可能的表示不滿之意，但誰能夠阻止Stern的最終裁決呢？

隨後，黃蜂再次策動交易，將Paul交易到快艇，換回Eric Gordon、Chris Kaman、Al-Farouq Aminu及一枚首輪選秀權。雖說Paul依舊來到了洛杉磯，但Bryant仍舊沒等到最佳助手，紫金倒塌、快艇崛起，而這也牽動了後續聯盟的『蝴蝶效應』。

湖人重啟霸業？

如果當時Paul交易案沒遭到否決，這些參與其中的球隊會有怎樣的發展呢？交易主角湖人雖然捨棄了陣中兩大長人，但獲得攻守兼具且又傳球第一的Paul加入，無疑可以分擔Bryant的壓力，雖然Paul與Bryant兩人都是需要持球在手的球員，但Paul的天賦與能力，將能夠讓Bryant釋出球權，也能給予Braynt更多的幫助，或許Bryant之後就不會遭逢影響生涯的傷勢；Paul的領導力也絕對能夠駕馭湖人並協助湖人眾將，他的多功能性也能配合Braynt的球風，讓Bryant追逐生涯的第六冠。湖人可以擺出老將Bryant+正值顛峰中生代Paul+潛力新生代中鋒Andrew Bynum的組合；甚至也仍有本錢進行交易，換回Dwight Howard組成CP3+Kobe+Howard的洛城三巨頭，與熱火新成軍的三巨頭一較高低。

談起當年的Paul交易，現任湖人教練Byron Scott就說：「有時候你會想說：『Stern真是該死！』我剛聽到那交易案時真的覺得『哇！這真的太神奇了！』」然而如果沒有被否決，湖人的教練一職也不會一路由Mike Brown換到Mike D’Antoni再到現在的Scott教練。

而Paul與Howard的搭檔也會讓人期待，Paul能夠激發出Howard的戰力，有如Paul能與DeAndre Jordan搭配、將Jordan的生涯表現推進至新的里程碑，而能力更佳的Howard將有更大的發揮空間。湖人戰績將維持高檔，Howard與Bryant的不合齟齬傳聞也不會發生，而Howard更不可能離開洛杉磯。湖人將在Bryant退役後，由新一代的控衛-中鋒連線扛起紫金王朝大旗。

而獲得Gasol的火箭將以這位全能長人來搭配Kyle Lowry、Courtney Lee、Chandler Parsons，實力仍然穩健，何況當年他們也很有機會再簽下自由球員Nene，來年選秀會上火箭依舊可以選來Jeremy Lamb與Terrence Jones來充實板凳。不過Gasol一來，火箭就不會去積極交易來James Harden，火箭將走上一條完全不一樣的道路。而新教練Kevin McHale與Lowry間的問題依舊無解，看來Lowry一樣會離開休士頓，而屆時2012年暑假的自由球員大物Deron Williams或許早一步重返德州故里了，也不會導致後續在布魯克林的種種不如意。Williams+Parsons+Gasol的陣容或許無法衝擊冠軍，但仍會充滿競爭力。

而離開火箭的Lowry會在多倫多找到第二春嗎？假使 Paul到了湖人，那麼Steve Nash也不會轉投洛城，他很可能回歸加拿大加盟暴龍，那麼暴龍也不會爭取Lowry加入，Lowry將落腳何處呢？在為暴龍效力前一直不被重用的Lowry還會成為今年明星賽的先發後衛嗎？

而從黃蜂（現鵜鶘）角度來看，雖然交易出球隊招牌Paul，但也換回一車實用性極佳的好球員。Jarrett Jack將出任先發，他的替補則是由Dragic擔綱，而Kevin Martin與Marco Belinelli、Greivis Vasquez、Trevor Ariza都是穩健的角色球員，前場則有Odom與Scola��責，都是兼具經驗與實績的好手。這陣容不會讓黃蜂戰績退步太多，因此隔年看來將無緣狀元籤，也就拿不到Anthony Davis入隊。選秀會上若運氣好點，或許可以挑中Damian Lillard，但大概最有可能的選擇是Michael Kidd-Gilchrist、Dion Waiters、Thomas Robinson；而交易來的選秀權（16順位)則可能選擇Tyler Zeller或Jared Sullinger其中之一。之後更名鵜鶘後，在陣中已有Dragic的情形下，也不會去交易來Jrue Holiday，因此2013年第六順位的Nerlens Noel很可能就留著自己培養。紐澳爾良或許戰力依舊不濟，但可以不必歷經Paul出走後那麼長久的重建旅程了。

而Odom也可能延長他的職業生涯。因為當年交易風雲，使得重返洛城的Odom鬱鬱寡歡，最終輾轉小牛快艇，不但提早結束了NBA生涯，還因為吸毒與買春等場外因素，造成身心極大的創傷影響。或許當年成功轉至紐澳爾良，能夠讓他繼續以全能第六人身手持續在聯盟有一席之地。

不過這就會牽動2012年狀元Davis最終花落誰家，這位肯塔基體能怪物很可能會落在夏洛特山貓(現黃蜂)、華盛頓巫師、克里夫蘭騎士之手。這樣一來Davis與2010年狀元Wall聯手或是與2011年狀元Kyrie Irving搭檔，無論哪種搭配，都將成為聯盟新一波的頂尖雙人組合。

大三分時代的煙火炸分秀：現在是拿 50 分最容易的年代

你走了，我們還在贏球——暴龍繼續威震全聯盟

沒有Paul的快艇？保有Harden的雷霆？

而在Paul來到前14年只打入過一次季後賽的快艇，沒了Paul掌舵，將無法成為如今的爭冠熱門強權了。沒有交易來Paul，快艇只能圍繞Eric Bledsoe與Blake Griffin打造陣容，這也代表J.J. Redick不會轉投快艇，因為Eric Gordon將會穩坐主力得分後衛，Gordon的生涯也會依舊璀璨，不會由當年22.3分的明日之星射手變成如今在紐澳爾良平均僅14.9分的玻璃射手。或許快艇會追逐Arron Afflalo來出任側翼，也可能在2013年出手競標自由球員Andre Iguodala或Tyreke Evans。

然而少了Paul，快艇大概只能是一支不上不下的球隊，戰績在第七第八種子徘徊，也沒法在2014年以20億美元高價出售給前微軟執行長Steve Ballmer了吧！

而在以上球員都就定位後，反而使得太陽無法打造如今以Bledsoe與Brandon Knight為核心的後場組合。出手重建也算大器的太陽可能會將目光鎖定在出身亞利桑納州大的Harden，母親也長住亞利桑納的Harden很可能會成為太陽新少帥，與Knight一起帶領太陽。太陽可以端出Marcin Gortat、Jared Dudley、Markieff Morris等硬底子球員與雷霆交易，到12-13球季後還可以空出薪資空間追逐Howard，或許鬍獸連線就可以在鳳凰城重新聚首。

而如果火箭當時換來Gasol，那麼雷霆若選擇留下Harden再戰，會有什麼樣的後續呢？身手皆是聯盟前十好手的Kevin Durant、Russell Westbrook、James Harden是否有可能早先金州勇士一步打造跑轟冠軍球隊？早早捧起金盃？而雷霆三巨頭與湖人三巨頭又誰強誰弱呢？

而擁有Paul與Howard鼎力助陣的Bryant，或許老早就可以重返冠軍戰，在2013年與勁敵James來場全球期待已久的Bryant vs. James大對戰，讓2009年無緣的24號 vs. 23號對決終於成真。

不過這些都隨著Stern大筆一揮，一句『籃球因素』終結了以上的種種可能。「湖人搞定了一個可以立��讓我們奪冠的交易。」Bryant回憶起當年的交易案時說：「但NBA卻否決了這個交易，如果這交易能夠成功…」

然而，歷史是沒有如果的。

否決交易

Paul交易否決案是史上少見的案例，以往的否決案大多都是體檢未過，最知名的莫過於1993-94球季的Robert Horry與Sean Elliott交易。當時休士頓火箭正打出聯盟開季最佳的15連勝（已被勇士打破），戰績來到32勝11敗，但火箭卻認為陣中的先發前鋒Horry出手太少、射程及準度不夠，因此在二月決定把Horry與Matt Bullard打包送去底特律活塞，換回射手Elliott。Horry抵達底特律後，決心改變心態，加強進攻。然而此時Elliott卻因為腎臟疾病（後來導致他在1999年接受移植手術)，無法通過火箭體檢，因此交易取消，使得已經在底特律練球幾次的Horry又得搭機返回休士頓。不過這趟旅程，激發了Horry的意志，讓他搖身一變成為火箭隨後二連霸的關鍵射手，也成為日後在湖人及馬刺揚名立萬的『Big Shot Rob』。

另一次交易取消案例，也與紐澳爾良黃蜂有關，2009年黃蜂已經將當家中鋒Tyson Chandler交易至雷霆，但隔天雷霆卻以Chandler腳傷為由取消交易。一說是雷霆股東因為股災損失，不願意雷霆吸納Chandler未來兩年近2500萬的合約；也有一說是聯盟不希望黃蜂失去主力Chandler，影響未來賣相與市值。

Stern觀點

這是聯盟少見的否決交易，主因是黃蜂當時由聯盟託管，黃蜂的未來賣相會是聯盟考量。如果黃蜂交易掉了球隊門面Paul，新換來的Odom（32歲）、Scola（31歲）、Martin（29歲）則都是中生代了，長期的潛力並不佳，這會使得黃蜂出售難度提高。而Stern或許認為快艇提出的交易包裹更為吸引人，22歲的Eric Gordon與21歲的Al-Farouq Aminu都充滿潛力，加上未來的選秀權，前景更好。

另一方面，封館協商主要議題在於如何保障小市場球隊利益，而封館一結束就爆出Paul加盟洛杉磯的交易，難怪除了騎士老闆Gilbert跳腳，諸如小牛老闆Mark Cuban、山貓(現黃蜂)老闆Michael Jordan都大力反對。認為這不但讓讓大市場湖人獲得強援Paul，沒拿出選秀權，又省下4000萬薪資，是大大的不公。

因此在各方考量下，Stern只得做出『籃球因素』的否決決定了。
