I just don’t see how we can allow this trade to happen.

I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

god, this is such a fucking shitshow

hon i feel like at this point stern might just let it thru tomorrow morning

Nets have emerged as No. 1 choice for Dwight Howard, multiple sources say. D12 is expected to ask Magic to trade him to NJ.

I thought you called me "hon" for a second

ha, that's not the first time someone has said that :-(

it makes me seem like a 52 year old women who smokes two packs a day, so i'm into it tho

haha i've been wanting to tell you to cut that out for a minute now

my bff & i have been texting like that for god knows how long, it's second nature to me :-/

jerry buss hospitalized for blood clots

stop it

huh that's actually real, but like almost a day ago

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.

tl;dr to this thread but let me just say i wish i couldve been w/you all this evening instead of out having fun on this truly important day in nba history

we missed u boo

joe we needed u today more than ever

my friend was receiving txts re this trade and checking it on his phone at dinner but i was not because i am polite and have manners and im like this trade makes no sense from nolas pov then later we were at bar squinting at a tv and im all i think it says david stern vetoes trade DAVID STERN VEtOS TRADE

whoa what happened today

David Stern whipped it out.

feel like david stern after so long being the perfect ceo is having an extended temper tantrum

im all i think it says david stern vetoes trade DAVID STERN VEtOS TRADE

i think we all had this exact reaction regardless of what distance we were from our tv/computer/phone

its a seminal moment 4 sure

i feel like shit got real today in a way i never imagined it would

yeah this is a total "you couldn't even make this up moment"

like all the "nba is fixed, evil always triumphs in the nba, stern is power-mad" stuff was just hangin out there live on the espy crawl, but in a totally unexpected, wild way

*espn obv

when i heard the trade was final i said 'get ready for hella conspiracy theories'

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

lakers got swept in round 2 last year!

The nba has been fixed AT LEAST since Shaq went to the Lakers

so gasol + 2 playoff games = paul - one kobe year

this p much proves its not fixed is the thing

also san antonio winning all those rings, and other events

this p much proves its not fixed is the thing

that's what stern wants u to think

lol

If ds or etc nixes a perfectly legal trade under the CBa there is no other interpretation

dude the nba owns the new orleans hornets basketball team

btw our boy is writing for grantland, hope he finds some time for sleep

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

lollllllllllllllll

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

it wasn't as good as the Carmelo deal but it was close.

the vetoing of this trade had nothing to do with the best interests of the Hornets franchise.

fyi they are going to trade paul, and get better than the bag of rancid shit they were offered, srsly look at what you just wrote, the first guy is the 'best sixth man' that doesnt even mean anything, chris paul is a top five player in the nab, had this trade gone through it wouldve been prob the all time most lopsided trade in nba history, w/the rockets somehow getting the good dudes from the lakers while giving up a steaming pile of crap to nola, i mean id be investing their gm right now for kickbacks

matt luv u dawg but you have no idea wtf youre talking abt at all

lol stop it
