lol i don't really care at all abt the hornets but the clippers deal is much better than the lakers deal and you can't deny that that is a thing.― cad, Wednesday, December 14, 2011 10:17 PM (6 seconds ago) Bookmark Permalink
Better deal for who? Why do the nets deserve a better deal? If they were willing (stupid enough) to give up what they did to the lakers that's their bad.

well for one thing the lakers should be thankful that stern saved them from making a really bad trade!
anyway i don't think anyone (hopefully even k3v) is saying that stern is "vindicated" because this whole process was handled poorly but eh it's a results-oriented business and i'm sure the lakers and rockets both know that these kinds of trades are delicate fabrege eggs that can be broken really easily for all kinds of stupid reasons.

Houston is the team that really got fucked imo. The Lakers are fucked either way.

carnitas what youre saying essentially validates stern's line that the trade was canceled "for basketball reasons"
― cad, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:32 (twelve years ago) link
you know what i really don't give a fuck about? whether or not dell demps was "fully empowered" to make a trade. who is actually naive enough to believe that anyway?

yeah houston got fucked but they're a smart team and had to know that they kind of lucked into a situation where they would be able to swing scola and martin for pau; they'll be ok

Every executive in the league who tried to make a deal with him?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:41 (twelve years ago) link
Like if the lakers were getting really screwed in that deal stern would have swooped in and saved them from themselves
― Carnitas, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:42 (twelve years ago) link
as a lakers fan were you seriously in favor of that deal?
― cad, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:46 (twelve years ago) link
Not even. I'm just mad on principle
― Carnitas, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:47 (twelve years ago) link
Swap for D12 in that trade and im down
― Carnitas, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:48 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's totally fine! but on a pure results basis this is better for everyone except the rockets, and the rockets will be ok.

um yah because then you traded a center and a pf for the best center in basketball, instead of trading a center and a pf for a point guard on a team that still has kobe!
― cad, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:50 (twelve years ago) link
Also bynum for pau. But u catch my drift

They= the
hay dudes just wondering what everyone who was saying the hornets werent going to get a better deal for paul are thinking abt right now
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 05:38 (twelve years ago) link
abt how hard i owned you or something else
and ive said this before but absolutely the only thing david stern did wrong imho happened last year when the nba bought a team, thats a fucked up situation, seeing as he is currently the acting owner everything he did as far as the paul saga makes perfect sense, its just like an owner saying his gm has autonomy and then waking the fuck up when the guy makes a horrible trade, which is exactly what happened

you kinda ruined your gloat but going over the top there imo
i prefer not to have to like reread the thread, you all know who you are, or maybe not
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link
we just said it was a fair deal for NOH.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link
naw
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link
also it obvs wasnt, but thats another story
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link
so in your mind you truly believe one of us said that that deal was the best deal NOH could possibly get? That there was no chance of a better deal?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link
ugh the fucking clippers?... u gotta b shittin me

― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:11 (twelve years ago) link

we said it was a good deal for them
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:12 (twelve years ago) link

yeah the hornets are legit
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:16 (twelve years ago) link
lol i mean the clippers
the argument was
-this is a good deal for the hornets
-there is no overriding competitive reason for Stern to veto it as commish
The Hornets finding a better deal elsewhere was NOT the argument and you're being really juvenile in trying to turn that into the argument so you can be "right."

the clippers u mean
