I think the owners could counter those with the way that he, his agents and his friends were undermining the value of trades. As for antitrust, I'm pretty sure the CBA takes that off the table. As for interference, they own the team and would be an active participant in the contract.

Except, they weren't, because if Paul had his way, he'd be in NYC...

We dictated where CP3 went. He wanted the Knicks, but we shipped him to the Lakers and got the best value we could. If we flip the Lakers with the Clippers, a less-off franchise, does Stern whine about it? I would say probably not.

It's a lie. The other owners turned on the Lakers. Period. And they are willing to make their "asset" the Hornets suffer by having Paul leave them for nothing in return.

If they didn't want the small market bullying to happen, they would NEVER have made a new CBA without a franchise tag proivision. Screw the NBA.

Not so sure about it. But if so, now I'm thinking of something akin to a derivative action. It's self dealing on the part of the "owners" to the detriment of the Hornets.

He knew that there was no way he was going to NYK and the LAL were clearly his second option, so he tried to force his way there and got smacked.

So is he going to force teamss to pay for someone that he won't extend with? Or just frick us and let him FA and REALLY determine where he wants to go?

If the NBA would have included a franchise tag, the league wouldn't be in this fricking mess it is in now. They knew it and they were too fricking stupid to do anything about it.

Wouldn't that be an argument for the HORNETS to make? Or the Lakers? I'm not saying what they did is legit, but I really don't think CP3 has much standing to fight it from his position.

If this deal truly is in the shitter, Stern will find a way to make it up to the Hornets in N.O. I'm telling you guys, the Hornets are one of his pet projects. Just stay tuned.
