Stern's official response basically confirmed the owners saw Chris Paul more valuable in helping selling the Hornets to a new owner than the deal itself either helping or hurting Lakers/Hornets/Rockets.
The owners felt getting rid of a superstar would have dropped the value too much than what Gasol or Odom could regain due to the NBA being too heavily dependent on a few stars than teams or more players.
MLB had the same mess with the Expos once they ran the team and tried very hard not to over do their influence with the Dodgers.
