lolololololol

oh shut up. Whoever says this is a lopsided deal is a fucking moron. We lost the best PF in the game and the most versatile big in the game. This is a very even trade, if New Orleans didn't benefit from it.

wait what? it's cancelled? lololo

I suppose they want him dealt to the Knicks for a 3rd round draft pick

Im not a Laker fan but its bullshit if it gets cancelled

you have got to be shitting me, owners.

I guess it makes sense. The Hornets are league owned. If the owners don't want him to be traded to the Lakers, why should he be? But by this logic, he better not go to the Knicks either, or any other team that would be stacked by adding him

Damn

Theyll probably re-work the deal.

CP3 better fucking stay in NO if he doesn't get dealt to us.

I wana know how it got leaked to begin with, that it was basically done. GM doesn't let the owners know beforehand I assume:|

Sounds like the other owners didn't even know a deal was in place until they met together to approve the new CBA and made sure Stern didn't just approve it like he did years ago with the Lakers-Grizzles lopsided trade.

Rockets might just try to make a deal without LA's help since the Hornets really want the players Houston offered but didn't really want Gasol from the Lakers.

Uh yeah, this isn't a lopsided trade at all though. Even if you're a Laker hater you gotta acknowledge this is horseshit.

Doesn't really matter if it was lopsided. Paul was their star, whoever they brought in wasn't going to put asses in the seats more than him. The fact this trade even got as far as it did without consulting the owners is pathetic on Stern's part

Nobody is putting asses in the seats in New Orleans. That's why they don't have an owner.

Yeah, not sure why people are saying this is so lopsided. Pau and Odom for CP3 seems very reasonable, especially considering he's gonna be leaving NO soon anyways. (And I'm a Laker Hater)

They should get Tim Tebow to play point guard.

Would be phenomenal.

Sounds like the Lakers played a part in putting the deal on hold. They want a big man to end up on the Lakers along with Paul in the 3-team deal

Dwight Howard

Plus, the verbiage on ESPN makes it seem like the deal is on hold, not completely dead.

"Chris Paul isn't a Laker ... yet. A source says the proposed three-team trade with New Orleans and Houston, which includes Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, won't be done Thursday."

LOL. THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

How is this not absolutely fucking hilarious to everybody?

lol

This is the most ridiculous thing ever. Wow. Every single trade from now on is going to be questioned.

I could break this whole thing down with facts, but I think I will settle it like this.

Fuck you Juan.

ok...?

brb gonna go check who's sock this is

I'm sure Kobe will rape Stern into pushing this through.

Literally.

IN THE ASS.

You know how Kobe gets down.

welcome back

Aquakate officially out of retirement. Mark it. What a historic day.

Breaking it down for everyone who already got it

Who's going to bring the balloons?

This is what the Heat need. To get the opportunity to win the Championship in 16 less games than a regular season, and then have the Lakers pair Kobe with Chris Paul, and possibly Dwight Howard, and see THEM win it all.
