CP3 Trade Veto-Revisited

[moe94]

It was legit.

Which is why the trade went through?

Gasol trade was considered an absolute joke until the emergence of Marc.

[DuMa]

It was epic.

[ballup]

It helped the Hornets get a new owner.

It was perceived as lopsided by many, sure. But was it legal and within the rules? Yes.

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.

I dont think anyone would have issues with the Heat winning championships if only they had gone about it differently. You know.... without collusion.

Nice to see the Lakers spiral down into complete irrelevance, seeing them constantly either with a championship or in the finals was enough. Time for a change :)

Uh, no.

The Grizz got exactly what they were after... young players, draft picks, and cap space.

They used the cap space for Z-Bo.

Draft pick for Marc.

And young player was Crittendon which I believe they flipped for assets.

I don't understand the issue here. Are you mad at the players controlling their destiny instead of GMs playing them like chess pieces?

I thought it was total bullshit.

Though Lakers still wouldn't have gotten past OKC. Durant shutdown Kobe in the 4th past two times they've met in the playoffs, holding him to 3-21 shooting.

And Westbrook owns CP3

Get all the senses you want, but that isn't why I started this thread.

My topic was based on the injustice of the veto, not how many titles Lakers would of won.

Bynum would likely still be here if the trade went through. Dwight trade never would of happened.

How exactly is it wrong for the owner of a team to veto a trade? Clippers owner almost vetoed the Reddick trade this summer. Not exactly a big deal.

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


.

Those 4 draft picks
