CP3 Trade Veto-Revisited

Thoughts?


I thought it was a disgraceful decision by the NBA and Stern. It screwed over the Lakers in a big way. We could be talking about a Laker dynasty and not the current Heat one.

You're bringing back bad memories

Both Rockets and Pelicans are in a good place now : Stern helped the Pelicans get Davis ; Rockets got Harden and Dwight instead of Pau and Nene

Yes, because all we need is another Lakers dynasty.

I guess the Lakers having Howard, Gasol, World Peace, Kobe and Nash just wasn't enough. They needed MORE!

As a neutral, third-party observer I'd have to say the veto was justified.

Hornets were owned by the NBA at the time so i was 100% fine with it.

With our personal bias aside, the Lakers got jobbed on this one.

No two ways about it.

Paul and Kobe weren't a good fit anyway. Poor, poor Lakers!

Funny how the Gasol trade was perfectly fine and legit.

Bullshit veto it ruined the Lakers future. And what's funny is that owners were complaining about big market teams and so the Hornets trade Paul to Los Angeles! That's the NBA in a nutshell.

That's ironic because I get the sense that you're just upset that the Heat are winning titles and that's why your upset about the veto.

hornets were owned by the NBA and the trade would lower the value of the team when it came time to sell. The veto was fine, there is no conspiracy, it was annoying the acting GM should not have confirmed any deals without talking to the league, get over it.

It was legit.

Which is why the trade went through?

I'm not a Lakers fan. But I do sympathise with them on this one.

If the trade had gone through they wouldn't have had Howard Gasol or Nash


Anyways it is what it is, Lakers have moved on and have other fish to fry.
