Kinda bullshit

[ttwarrior1]

good job stern, hell yeh

[Bluehorseshoe]

<--------"Look at me! I'm David Stern! I could do anything I want!!! I can even dunk!!"

[Ace_of_Spades]

Lakers lose, yay!

[Emily_Haines]

Why is it that the Lakers always get to trade their garbage for the best players in the league?

Stern was right to disallow this lop sided trade that only benefits the Lakers.

[Delicious]

lol.. NBA is a fukkin joke.

Players determine where they want to go too easily...

"im not going to sign with you if you trade me there" for example.....

[romecloneout]

fukk the nba

[big joe 1212]

Just like when West gave the Lakers Gasol.

Memphis should have slit his throat for that!

[warriorfan707]

nice

[VegasInsider]

Why is that bullshit? The NBA is trying to find a buyer for the Hornets, they shouldn't be able to sling the franchise player just because he wants out. Try to get a buyer and let him handle the situation.

Yeah, Pau Gasol is garbage. He's only one of the 5-best big men in the league. He's probably the best offensive big man in the entire NBA. Might be the best passing big in the league. He has been the 2nd best player on 2 championship teams. Been on 2 All-NBA 2nd teams (meaning he was voted one of the top 10 players in the league, and 2nd best at his position)....And along with him was coming the 6th man of the year, Lamar Odom, who is nearly 7 feet tall and can play anywhere from PG to Center. Trash? You have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, there are going to be people lining up to buy a team when they know the franchise player is leaving at the end of the season no matter what and they are going be left getting nothing in return for him. I'm sure people are lining up to join the circus of 'where is Chris Paul playing next year' that will be going on in New Orleans all year.

The only reason people are happy he did this is because THEY DON'T LIKE THE LAKERS. It has nothing to do with whether the trade if fair or not. People who don't like the Lakers are happy it happened, even though it's wrong.

[Tree Rollins]

David Stern should come out and say "Chris Paul is not allowed to be traded to a big market, period"...B/c that is basically the message here. To be fair, they will have to block every big market trade involving Paul. Which means Paul either stays in NO, or gets traded to a small-market team that he will leave at the end of the season only to go sign with a big-market team anyway. I seriously can't believe how stupid this is.

your a dope if you think gasol is better on offense than stat

[zoo youk]

Like I said in the other thread Stern wants Paul a Knick the league is better with the Knicks on top or winning

Your going too see Amare for Paul that's why Knicks signed Chandler

[Bill Dozer]

WTF, I thought this shit only happened in Fantasy leagues?

They are going to force the Hornets to get zero for him? The NBA is never going to find a new owner for that team. If you are the current Hornets GM, time to go see what World Of Warcraft is all about or develop a drinking habit.

Did you miss the part of me saying the Knicks signed Chandler??

[zoo youk]

I'd much rather have Paul Melo and Chandler than Stat

It's way more balanced, especially on the defensive end. Stat plays NO D

[KingJD31]

i no that hes not the only answer whose gonna be on garnett or noah/boozer we need something at pf.........u wanna put david west in that deal also for stat and fields then i can feel it

[kobstopa]

Lakers just got fukc sideway

[Tree Rollins]

your a dope if you think gasol is better on offense than stat

Amare is more athletic and dunks it a lot. Tell me one other part of his offensive game that is better then Pau's? Shooting, passing, back to the basket, facing up, mid-range J, finishing with either hand...Pau is better at every single one of those then Amare.

[KingJD31]

shooting and facing up no question no even up for debate........gasol is better backing down

Billy Dozer on point as usual here

[face]

how come the brooklyn nets aren't getting anybody good, i thought prokorov was a rich ass baller. go nets.

[zoo youk]

Uhhh snares contract would be off the books I'm sure they'd think of something still have Shawne williams

[gauchojake]

Hornets should follow the footsteps of the Cavs and Orlando and let their star walk. It usually works out well

Whatever...this is Stern's little feifdom and he'll do what he wants until the owners decide to replace him.

In other news I saw Phil Jackson at the store (Bristol Farms where Bynum parked in the handi spot) right after I heard this news. I decided not to ask him his opinion.

[tiger_bait]

as a hornet fan im pissed......i was excited about the deal but oh well f*** the nba and f*** stern .... i thought the league was trying to sell the hornets not f*** them in the a**

[eidolon]

I've always been a Laker hater; with that, I don't understand why Stern stopped this trade. I thought it was a pretty good trade for everyone. Even if the Hornets are going to be sold, they get a couple good players and a 1st round draft pick. they already have a guy that can take over at Paul's position.

Gasol and Odom are garbage....?

[zoo youk]

Wouldn't you rather have Amare?

[VegasInsider]

It's kind of unfortunate that the deal isn't gonna go through because the Hornets were gonna get some good talent

[Bluehorseshoe]

Anyone know what owners bitched about it?
