Why was CP3 vetoed by NBA to Lakers but KD is allowed to go to Warriors

Things that make hmmmm:rolleyes:

Trade vs. FREE Agency. Simple as that.

[Ben Simmons]

This again?

The league owned the Hornets so they could stop the trade. The league doesnt own Durant or the Warriors.

LeBron bout to get his 4th ring or KD's about to get his 1st.

Either way, Fudge wins. That's all that matters, son. :cheers:

[CarlosBoozer]

How can they veto a free agent? :lol

[FireDavidKahn]

The NBA owned the Pelicans at that time...The value they got for CP3 form the Clippers was way more than the Laker trade.

Trade vs. FREE Agency. Simple as that.
OP does not understand the diff. Between trade vs agency.....

[DaSeba5]

Well the NBA owned the NO Hornets at the time. They could veto the trade.

But the owners tried to prevent this and it's the worse its ever been. Bloated contracts, the end of a small market in OKC, and the destruction of any parity in the NBA, I can see a possible lockout in the future.

Basketball reasons.

Meltdown reasons.
