Remember Dan Gilbert helped block the Chris Paul Lakers trade. Now he wants PG

In pretty much exactly the same manner the Lakers got Paul.
quote:
Commissioner,
It would be a travesty to allow the Lakers to acquire Chris Paul in the apparent trade being discussed.
This trade should go to a vote of the 29 owners of the Hornets.
Over the next three seasons this deal would save the Lakers approximately $20 million in salaries and approximately $21 million in luxury taxes. That $21 million goes to non-taxpaying teams and to fund revenue sharing.
I cannot remember ever seeing a trade where a team got by far the best player in the trade and saved over $40 million in the process. And it doesn’t appear that they would give up any draft picks, which might allow to later make a trade for Dwight Howard (They would also get a large trade exception that would help them improve their team and/or eventually trade for Howard.) When the Lakers got Pau Gasol (at the time considered an extremely lopsided trade) they took on tens of millions in additional salary and luxury tax and they gave up a number of prospects (one in Marc Gasol who may become a max-salary player).
I just don’t see how we can allow this trade to happen.
I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Stern really took it serious when he saw the size 18 comic sans font letter come across his desk

Instead, Gilbert wants to dump Kevin Love and his $25M per year contract off on someone else, get by far the best player in the deal on a cheaper contract, lose no draft picks because he doesn't have any, and have the third team dump their assets to make it happen for him.

To be honest, that part is entirely correct. Pelicans would have gotten nothing (I'm sure we would have flipped the pieces though) and somehow send the best player but not even get the 2nd best player (Gasol) in return.
That would be equivalent to LA sending Deng, Mozgov, and someone like Russell or Randle for George.
Or Cleveland sending Shump, Thompson, and JR Smith for George.

F*ck Gilbert.

Apples to oranges. The NBA was controlling NO at that time, and LA had/has long been accused of favoritism bc of its stature in the league.

That whole narrative was bullshite from Lakers cucks. The trade was turned down by the Hornets owner because it was a shite sandwich.
