The league does NOT own the Cavaliers, therefore, they can not reject the deal due to direction, but can reject it only due to tampering/any illegal activity they feel might be going on.
A better comparison would be the Clippers getting jobbed out of a DJ for KG swap last year, though, it ended up working in our favor.
Typical revisionist history coming from a Clipper fanboi.
How about that return New Orleans eventually got for Chris Paul, huh? Any objective basketball person realizes it was horrible, and the Lakers offer was way better. Gordon's awful contract, Kaman for a year, some scrubs, and by David Stern's manipulation, the pick turned into the #1 overall pick Anthony Davis. But hey, that was just luck right, just like Ewing going to the Knicks in the first lottery.
But hey, your team got the steal in the end, so "basketball reasons" amirite? And they're even in the exact same large market, but it's just cooler to hate on the Lakers because they've actually won something and mattered.

Lets hope so.
Kobe would have 6 or 7 championships if not for the CP3 block.
It's time to turn the table on the guy who benefited last time.

Eric Gordon was an asset at the time and no one knew dragic was going to be a star. Didn't make sense for the hornets to take on a bunch of vets and be mediocre forever.

"At the time, Sam Bowie was a better pick than Michael Jordan." "At the time, Darko was a better pick than Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade." Etc etc...
People going out of their way to justify and defend terrible moves is just absurd. At least be honest about what it was, even now. It was just a move to screw the Lakers, because they were winning too much, have won too much in the past and would win more after the trade. There is literally zero sane argument to be made nowadays to defend "basketball reasons". None. It was the Montreal Screwjob, and the Lakers were Bret Hart. Haters will never admit that though, because it's cool to hate on the Lakers.

This is gonna happen. In fact, this whole thread is just silly. If you read the article itself, it concludes by saying these type of things are difficult to prove. So unless there's a stupid person here who put something in writing, that Love will re-sign with the Cavs, there's no way this deal is getting blocked.
The whole article is just an article with a juicy headline, but with nothing inside.

Sounds about right.

This is really all a non-story. As long as nothing is in writing or there is no proof, this means nothing.

They didn't need proof when they stopped KG from being traded to the Clippers.

Re: kevin love trade could be blocked
If the league is wise they would block this trade and promote their new golden boy Durant as the face of the league. Lebron's time has passed.

The league doesn't need proof (reference my earlier post in this thread), they only need to suspect foul play and if they decide to act upon some of the behind the scenes handshakes or verbal agreements, there's nothing the two parties can do about it...

You really don't understand how it works.
The league doesn't need a "piece of paper" to do anything.
It could simply be a verbal agreement, the league only needs to suspect foul play.
That's it.
