SwampFightOner Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 'Tis the season (albeit a bit late), boys. A lot of wild ass shit going down right now, but all I'm focused on is the Lakers reportedly being one of the few teams in the running for Chris Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Howard's coming to the Lakers, either in a trade this year, or in free agency next. Paul would just be icing on the cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionMakesFame Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I hear different about Paul going to the Lakers, yahoo says nah. NBA commissioner David Stern has killed the New Orleans Hornets’ trade of Chris Paul after several owners complained about the league-owned team dealing the All-Star point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Some owners pushed Stern to demand the trade be nullified, and the Hornets be made to keep Paul on the roster for the foreseeable future, sources said. A chorus of owners were irate with the belief that the five-month lockout had happened largely to stop big-market teams from leveraging small-market teams for star players pending free agency. “The deal is off,” a source involved in the talks told Y! Sports. “It’s dead.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprotester Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 “We were all told by the league he was a trade-able player, and now they’resaying that Dell doesn’t have the authority to make the trade?” said an NBA executive who had periodic talks with New Orleans throughout the process. “Now, they’re saying that Dell is an idiot, that he can’t do it his job. [Expletive] this whole thing. David’s drunk on power, and he doesn’t give a [expletive] about the players, and he doesn’t give a [expletive] about the hundreds of hours the teams put into make that deal. “How do the Lakers explain this to Odom? How does Houston deal with the guys it just tried to trade? Scola and Martin are going to be pissed at them, and who knows how long that takes to get over? Explain to me how the league kills this Pau Gasol deal, but allows Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol? “To me, this makes the league feel like it’s rigged, that Stern just does whatever Stern wants to do. He’s messed up the competitive balance of this league a lot worse by killing the deal, because you’ve completely destroyed the planning that New Orleans, Houston did and left them in shambles over this. I’ve never been so discouraged about this league, never so down. “I mean, come on: Chris Paul is leaving New Orleans in 66 games. He’s gone. And what’s Dell Demps, and that franchise, going to have to show for it?” ........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed framed Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 They nixed the deal because other team owners were bitching about Paul going to L.A...How do they have any say in it? NOLA is fucked now instead of getting some good players and draft picks they are gonna get nada when Paul walks. Giving up Odom and Gasol for Paul who averages only 16ppg isnt really a good deal but they're trying to clear up cap room for Howard. It seems like he wants to he traded to the Nets for some ungodly reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eye for an eye Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 you guys realize that the Hornets are owned by the NBA (29 other owners) right? Owners should get to vote on any moves the team makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners should get to vote on any moves the team makes. That's irrelevant if they had already given NO permission to shop/trade him. The only reason they stepped in and did anything, was because it was the Lakers. Textbook definition of player hatin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackfatsoe Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm surprised you NBA nerds aren't freaking out more about this Stern nonsense. It seems completely fucked to me, and I don't even like the lakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Stern is a fucking tyrant. Only team he fucked harder than the Lakers, are the Hornets. Him walking in 66 games is better than getting Odom, Scola, Dragic, Kevin Martin, and draft picks? Oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionMakesFame Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Its a bunch of bullshit that some teams get to load up all the all stars. That was a big part of the strike wasn't it? Go play for the fucking Globetrotters if that is level of competition you are after. It is fucked up to stop the trade but I am happy with the outcome.
