Well, the team is owned by the NBA and the owners... are part of the NBA. I'm not saying that it's a standard practice or that it should be done all the time, but this is quite the unique situation. If the Hornets weren't owned by the NBA, this wouldn't even be an issue. Then again, if the Hornets weren't owned by the NBA, this trade probably wouldn't have gone down in the first place. It's slippery, but it all just looks awful from a PR standpoint and David Stern can't afford to have any more money or trade scandals, especially when the Lakers are involved.

Except that everyone knows that the cloud of doubt and "shadyness" was cast over David Stern and Tim Donaghy over the events you're alluding to.

There is no "eye" to keep on the Lakers, except if you're in the train of thought that the NBA favors the Lakers, which after today, should be obvious is non-existent.
