Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[FireNicoHarrison]

Nothing you said conflicts with what I said -- the point being (and remaining) that the CP3 trade was stopped from being consummated by the ownership of NO. Stern was the governor (and no one else). It was in the same vein as if Dumont had stopped Nico's attempt to trade Luka. Every owner has that right.

But Silver did NOT have that right, in the Luka situation. That was my point, and despite what some wrongfully say, my point is factual (based on the legal docs that govern the relationships between multi-billion dollar owners, with each other, and with their mega-wealthy employees). There are strict limits that are well defined (through years of detailed negotiations using expert lawyers over and over). Rich people wouldn't have it any other way.

Agree, Silver was not able to stop that trade.

It's a complete different situation than CP3... But he shouldn't have made that pathetic speech during the ASG, it was a clear sign that the league is behind this crap.
