    Traded to Lakers. Gasol to Houston and Lamar to New Orleans.

    Kobe having a real PG is going to be fun

    Yes, it's truly shocking one of the leagues young superstars ends up playing for LA, Miami, NY, or Chicago.

    Guess where Dwight Howard will end up ?

    The deal is off now apparently. The other owners pitched a big enough fit for the league to step in and veto it.

    Yeah, if this is how things go after this recent CBA I will never watch another NBA game. This is the exact reason the smaller market owners needed to hold out longer.

    I couldn't bring myself to read an entire article, why exactly was it vetoed?

    Considering that Paul is out of New Orleans after this season and the Hornets will get nothing for him this vetoed deal really screwed them. They got 4 decent players and a #1. No superstars but at least they got some talent back and a pick to go along with it. Looks like this thing may end up in court before it's over.

    Sport radio said the Kardashians vetoed the trade because they didn't want to relocate the Chloe and Lamar show

    everybody freaked out over the lakers and ignored the hornets. this fucks them tremendously.

    next year, when paul joins the knicks will those same owners who objected to the trade to la be cheering his signing in ny? the hornets won't get squat, but at least the lakers miss out.

    lame.

    David Stern has gone from one of the most respected commissioners to one that makes Bud Selig look good
