and veto the trade? This is a perfect "Basketball Reasons" move.

Silver doesn't have half the cojones that Stern had. No way he orchestrated this.

Chris Paul to the Lakers would’ve been great too. Saw how that turned out

Mikal Bridges trades for 5.

they expect you to believe a real life NBA GM who puts teams together for a living at the highest level would sign off on this dumb shite.


it’s honestly disrespectful

Stern was able to veto the CP3 trade because the NBA was at the time the technical owner of the Hornets.

Can’t compare Silvers ability to actually do anything to Sterns grip on the league

This is bad for the league, but i'm guessing Silver is too neutered to do anything. At this point, the NBA is saying frick Dallas as we only care about the bluebloods. I mean Dallas could've been set up with 4+ first round picks if they went out to auction but they get Street Clothes and a likely worthless 1st in 29.

NBA owned the team.

Might have been concerned about the appearance of impropriety/conflict of interest.

Adam Silver made the trade. Got to have a star player on the Lakers after LeBron is gone for ratings.

And that is everything wrong with the NBA and why it’s getting murdered ratings wise.

They engineer things like this to make that happen.
