WHY!!! I thought that trade was going to make the Lakers worse, and then screw with Paul + Kobe. Turning Paul into a rental!

Why? Just cuz the hornets are owned by the league?

I think it's not going through because the Hornets would end up over the cap.

They would either need to send out another player to make the salaries match, or not take back another player... like Dragic or something.

who knows though

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

Bill Simmons: This is crazy: Hearing the NBA (owner of New Orleans) vetoed the CP3 trade because it wasn't in the best interests in the league

Thats the lulz. Too bad though because i enjoyed the knee jerk fear reaction from the Heat fans over here.

I don't see how it was in the leagues best interest to cancel the trade.

it favored the hornets, rockets and the lakers for the future.

I thought it was a fair trade for everyone.

Weird...

What the hell. Stern is a tool. This is Special person. I think these writers need to keep their shit shut till something is written in stone.

Looks like Gilbert, Jordan, and whoever then suns owner is strikes again. The knicks owner had to be involved too.
