Why did the NBA not veto the Cousins trade?

[Eazy-E]

I was thinking back to when the Lakers were set to acquire Chris Paul and the NBA veto'ed the trade because "it wasn't fair for all parties involved". The Cousins trade is the worst trade I can remember off the top of my head. I know Stern and Silver go about business a bit differently but holy poo they let the Kings fug them selves hard.

Tinfoil hat time: fug New Orleans. The NBA blocked the CP3 trade saying teams needed to give NO more value in return. Didn't bring up Houston really who were also involved in the deal. The deal that the Clippers offered many argue was a worse deal for NO besides the financial side of things. The Lakers were apparently dumping 40mill in contracts while still getting CP3. Add in the fugery of after losing CP3 in 2011 the NBA gifted NO the number 1 pick in the 2012 draft after Charlotte just suffered through the worst record in NBA history. Now, Charlotte loses All Star weekend and the NBA gives it to NO (this Allstar weekend was terrible imo). While All star weekend is going on the NBA allows one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history to go through. WTF NBA, go fug yourselves. What is your fuging love affair with New Orleans and why do you hate Charlotte so much.

really fug the nba- they were SELLING the team and magically new orleans ends up with the number one pick and the best prospect in decades

that was rigged New Orleans was getting the top pick no matter what that year, it was a race to number two.....which actually means we would have gotten that top pick had the nba not rigged it

We had the worst record in NBA history (even with a strike to start the season) we should have had number 1 pick. That's why I hate the lottery. How can bad teams get better if the worst one doesn't pick first?

I'm still haunted by not getting the number one pick. Then we lose the Allstar game to new Orleans and they somehow manage to add cousins before the damn weekend is over with. The slurp fest with the nba and new Orleans is unbelievable.

The NBA can't block trades, the only person you have to blame for Boogie being in NOLA is Vivek and Vlade. That being said, I still really doubt they'll be any good, they have like 5 NBA players on their roster. Just because 2 out of the 5 are incredible doesn't really mean much, you need some depth.

Oh and the NBA blocked the Chris Paul trade because they owned the team at the time.

[Mr. Miagi]

Bc they fug whoever they want to. 

Just like when they screw us out of Anthony Davis. 

 

Our gift from the NBA was Emeka Okafor.
