Is it time for David Stern to go?

No, things are looking promising with the trade veto. Maybe now the Bobcats going forward will have a chance to compete with some of these teams once they draft a few studs.

So having the power to veto any trades that are completely legal under the CBA is a good thing....right.....

It's a PR nightmare for the league though. By all accounts this trade was extremely fair compared to trades in past seasons. There was no reason this deal shouldn't have gone through, other then the handful of owners that had to sacrifice a hard salary cap in the new CBA were pissed....completely bullshit that Stern would cave on a deal that's not even close to lopsided....

Stern showed who was in charge tonight!:D Serves the Lakers right for carelessly dumping Gasol for CP3. All Gasol did was help the Lakers become relevant again after O'neal left. Also, they were getting greedy. You either get Howard or CP3, you can't have both.:cool:

I don't think it has anything to do with being a lopsided deal..its because, according to the media, that the other owners don't think its fair for a league owned team to pull this deal. I think the idea is..."how do we know the league isn't trading paul to LA because its a big market, just to boost ratings for itself?" just a thought...

NBA didn't want fans to be pissed that new CBA was preached to force parity, then first move out was the NBA owned team trading one of the league's best players to one of the best teams in the league. See how many people on here were complaining about it parity, rich got richer, etc.

That said...this decision was worse. League looks completely foolish for blocking a legit trade because of some butt-hurt owners (MJ probably included). I am loving this just for entertainment value.
