3-team deal.

Gasol to the Rockets, Odom to the Hornets.

Rajon Rondo could do that.

fixed

Other owners complained to Stern, and he has apparently killed the deal.

amazing. not sure what other offers there were but i don't see the justification behind nullifying the trade. it's not like they traded luke walton for paul.

@WojYahooNBA says it all, as usual.

Check the quotes at the end.

10% chance Stern waffles back the other way and says " Now Now, we nevr actually vetoed the trade, we just needed some time to review it. Any time you have a team owned by the league, you have a responsibility to blah blah blah...."

So if the deal was killed because the Hornets are owned by the league does this mean Chris Paul can't be traded until a new owner is found?

Does this mean the Hornets can't trade ANYONE until a new owner is found?

Or did they kill the trade simply to "prove" that the new CBA "works" the way some owners want it to work?

The Lakers gave up Odom + Gasol! The package the Hornets were getting looks pretty good - and Houston don't get raped either.

So WTF? Can the league office just cancel any trades it chooses? Who decides which trades get killed and which ones don't?

This is all kinds of bullshit right here

It'll be easier to find a new owner once they trade Paul because the franchise value will go down. :/

The league owning the Hornets is all kinds of bullshit. But then again, so was Shinn owning the Hornets.

so basically now the hornets will be stuck with paul and lose him at the end of the year and get NOTHING. nice move nba.

stern should be removed from his position. seriously.

The teams are back talking again, trying to re-work it.

It'll happen, too much bad pub.

When does college ball start?

Oh...

TRADE. WILL. HAPPEN.

I haven't been following as much as I want to, but did hear on ESPN radio today that some of the teams that were bitching about the trade, were bitching cuz the Lakers were able to dump 2 big contracts and going forward they'd pick up another great player or some shit like that or something.

damn i dont like CP3 on the Fakers at all, i still hope this deal doesnt get done...Stern veto was pure gold

Correction: CP3 traded to Clippers.

Paul and two 2nd round picks for Aminu, Kaman, Gordon and a 1st (from MIN).

wow. paul will be awesome for the clippers. but they gave up a TON in this trade.

Proof that CP3 is officially in L.A.:
