WOW

Seriously? Fuck the NBA. I question why the NBA even has small market teams. The Bobcats won't ever be able to keep one super star, let alone acquire three.

Also, Houston's front office is composed of morons. They just gave up tons of young talent for a candy fiend and a PF that is among the softest players in the league.

I'm not so much pissed off as I am completely disheartened. I don't think any team not named the Lakers or Celtics will ever truly be legitemit.

NBA owners have pushed commissioner David Stern to kill the deal sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell Y! Sports.

Owners were irate in Board of Governors meeting with Stern, livid that the league-owned Hornets were allowed to make Paul deal, sources say.

of course this gets posted an hour after espn runs it on tv.

It was not immediately clear, sources said, if three-way trade involving Hornets, Lakers and Rockets is merely snagged or in jeopardy

ESPN CP3 trade latest: Trade with Lakers will NOT go through Friday and Chris Paul is expected in Hornets camp, according to sources

ESPNSteinLine Marc Stein
One source close to the three-team Chris Paul trade talks just told ESPN.com: "The deal is off."

journalism is dead in this country. from sports to real news.

not going off topic but how is this country not on fire with fast and furious and mf global?

[superb1]

deal is dead. a group of owners cried foul, mainly because it was the star studded Lakers. Now if that is the case, who then can trade for Paul. Will everyone cry about another owner trading for him.

[Chef]

not to defend the lakers but that is bull. the deal isn't that bad if NO's goal is to remain relevant. a starting lineup of kevin martin, louis scola, okafor, lamar odom isn't horrible. probably good enough to challenge for a playoff spot. they were the 8 seed last year.

Thank you Stern

My opinion on all this "stars to the big markets" bullshit?



Whatever, I don't even care anymore.
