ok,so i guess ang main reason why stern nixed the cp3 trade to LA is he wanted to maximize the hornet's selling price to potential buyers.watta punk move,downright a**holic.he should've meddled in the deal for lbj if yun lang din ang rationale nya.
didn't he figure na the cavs and raptors' trade value would plummet as well given that their stars walked out on them?idiot talaga si stern.
Iba naman yung kay LBJ/Bosh, free agent na sila nung ginawa nila ang "The Decision". Si CP3, may one year pang natitira sa contract(plus player option). Ayaw yata ng mga owner na may superstar na may natitira pang taon sa kanilang mga kontrata na i-hostage ang team nila parang katulad ng ginawa ni Melo sa Denver nung isang taon. At isa pa, pag-aari ng NBA ang Hornets, ang Cavs at Raptors hindi. Nung nakaraang taon pa nga lang may nagreklamo na sa trade ng Hornets para kay Carl Landry dahil sa financial considerations, eto pa kaya.
That being said, that still doesn't make Stern's/the owners actions right. The should have pre-emptively instructed Demps on what type of deal they wanted to make instead of vetoing the proposed deal when it's nearly finished and screwing everybody involved in the process.
