Very smart and that is something I didnt remember.
This is the real reason the trade was vetoed.

Really was not fair to NO from the start. Only folks saying NO was getting a good deal were Laker fans.
Seriously I think the Clips are a better spot for Paul. Would be great for the NBA.

You crazy if you think the owners sneaked in a competitive balance rule/clause when it comes to the NBA approving trades. That only has to do with making sure the money matches up and checking if players passed their physicals. They can't stop trades on the basis of competitive balance. We'd be locked out forever on that condition alone.
If Paul walks and they get nothing, fine. NO needs to rebuild. I doubt any potential owner thinking of NO would want players upping their salary that they can't build around anyway.
The revenue sharing is a good point as well. Small market owners probably dropped knowledge on Stern with the #s

NBA has owned the Hornets for 12 months. What other trades have transpired?

Quite. Indeed.

Paul doesnt have a legit complaint. The owner nixed the deal because it didnt make finanical sense for them. Thats the excuse he will get. But Chris and the league will reach the resolution that he can be traded, but the league cant lose more than 10 million in the deal.
Meaning that if the Lakers want to do a straight deal with NO they can try. If they want to restructure the 3 team deal they can. But adding money + losing the Lakers tax revenue gives them a legit complaint.

The Marcus Thornton-Carl Landry swap.
Mark Cuban didn't like that trade either because the Hornets were adding salary.

And did the Jack trade go through before the league owned?

What big difference would that make?
I wish this would've happened to a team that's not hated by most of the country so feelings wouldn't be involved. *+@@+% should see much of a ho move this was on the part of Stern and his flunkies. Make what you want about this super team %%*% but this wasn't the Gasol to LA trade. Everyone knows Chris isn't staying in NO so you make the best deal. Whatever ends up happening would not have been better than this.
What a joke.
Some owners pushed Stern to demand that trade be nullified, and the Hornets be made to keep Paul on the roster for the foreseeable future, sources said. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was one of the most vocal in a chorus of owners irate with the belief that the five-month lockout had happened largely to stop big-market teams from leveraging small-market teams for star players pending free agency.
Say it ain't so, Mark.
GOOD.
