“To me, this makes the league feel like it’s rigged, that Stern just does whatever Stern wants to do. He’s messed up the competitive balance of this league a lot worse by killing the deal, because you’ve completely destroyed the planning that New Orleans, Houston did and left them in shambles over this. I’ve never been so discouraged about this league, never so down. “I mean, come on: Chris Paul is leaving New Orleans in 66 games. He’s gone. And what’s Dell Demps, and that franchise, going to have to show for it?”

meaning i'm surprised it wasn't bigger news
so the whole league is going to be up in arms calling for stern's resignation tomorrow, right?
because i think in pretty much every other industry this sort of bumble leads to disgrace.

but it wouldve been p funny if the trade had gone through and it became the season the average working man realized kobe was cooked as the lakers went out in the 2nd round
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 9 December 2011 07:54 (twelve years ago) link
lakers got swept in round 2 last year!

The nba has been fixed AT LEAST since Shaq went to the Lakers
― Mr Jimmy Mod, Friday, 9 December 2011 07:58 (twelve years ago) link
so gasol + 2 playoff games = paul - one kobe year
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 9 December 2011 07:58 (twelve years ago) link
this p much proves its not fixed is the thing

Which is why their decision to not make the trade is ultra fishy, since the hornets were the big winners in the deal.

not trading paul means losing him for nothing. The best sixth man in the league, 2 good starters, dragic and a first rounder >>>>>> nothing.
