Why did the NBA not veto the Cousins trade?


Eazy-E

Recommended Posts

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.

Anthony Davis should be ours. F New Orleans.

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

 

shinn just had to fug us one more time

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?

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.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
