    Somehow, people still don't understand why the NBA was allowed to veto the Chris Paul Lakers trade (or why they were allowed to).
    Here I explain all.

    Older Chris Paul Helped Harden almost beat the rockets with basically mediocre talent around them. If CP3 was with Kobe and Dwight damn! CP3 made D'andre Jordan look like an All Star he could have changed the dynamic of the Lakers that year. Kobe would have had at least 6 rings and probably would not have blown his Archilies due to too many minutes. So sad.

  • @morpheusrising9534
    @morpheusrising9534 6 ปีที่แล้ว +139

    This is exactly why Phil Jackson warned against the league owning a team because of this conflict of interest. It wasn't just Gilbert it was also Mark Cuban I heard. They ruined Jim Buss. He just got fired but if this went through he would've looked like a genius. The Lakers didn't have a plan B and now you're looking at Lamar and Gasol disgruntled. Kobe finished his career out injured which Chris Paul would've relieved pressure and he probably would've won at least 1 more ring if not 2.

    • @TheAndyk123
      @TheAndyk123 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You're forgetting how good their competition was. If the Lakers had CP instead of Steve Nash, they would have still lost to the Thunder, Spurs, or Heat every year. Plus, when Kobe stopped being effective, CP would have been stranded on an awful team and he would have been demanding a trade again.

    • @morpheusrising9534
      @morpheusrising9534 6 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      TheAndyk123 well the premise is that Dwight Howard would've joined them. Having another player who can run the offense means Kobe doesn't wear himself out and doesn't have to play all the same minutes. Also don't forget about all the talent that took pay cuts to play with Miami to win. You don't think a CP3/Kobe/Dwight team would've attracted that. As for the competition, is the competition better now? Because harden, cp3 and a bunch of shooters are said to be the only team that can beat the warriors now. I didn't forget about the competition i know exactly who was around back then. There's no guarantee they would've won it all, but do you really think the other owners were complaining because they didn't think they had a chance to dominate? It's not like the spurs weren't there when LeBron built a super team and beat them and okc was too young as evidenced by the spanking they got from Miami. The Lakers also would've had the best defensive back court in the game at that point.

      Bobby Chan not a Warriors fan, but they at least drafted and developed most of their star players, such as Curry, Green and Thompson.

The silver lining for the rest of the NBA about Cousins is that he's not likely to play until mid season, and he probably will never play like he used to.

    I will always hate David Stern & Dan Gilbert for this bullshit. CP3 should've been on the Lakers winning championships. This has caused a domino effect against the Lakers that has resulted in them starting from scratch to build a championship team. They missed the Playoffs a bunch of years consecutively for the first time in Lakers history. There was nothing unfair about this trade for the league to nix it for "basketball reasons". To be fair as far as the Lakers are concerned after he fact, they made some HORRIBLE management decisions like giving up 1st picks for Steve Nash and the idiotic head coaching decisions (Mike Brown, Mike D'Antoni).

      what pissed me off about the lock out was how they targeted the lakers. The rule was to make it more difficult for large market teams who have been successful to attract free agents and large profile trades, out of the big city teams, who have been dominant? Oakland success was recent so that doesn't count, chicago hasn't won since '98, miami hasn't won since '06, houston since '95, and then i don't have to mention new york. Lets be real, the other owners saw an opportunity to bring down the lakers. The messed up part was that our owner Jerry buss was in his final months.

    You make very valid points Dom, but my thing is that the league not only allowed CP3 to be traded, but he was traded to the EXACT SAME MARKET!!! If the league cared about parity between the big and small markets, they would have nixed the Clipper deal as well. So it's not so much, at least for me, about the nixed deal, but that the NBA was completely hypocritical in this situation.

If this trade had happened Kobe wouldn’t have tore his Achilles because he was stuck playing way too much on a shitty team with no help. There were many better duos before this and better big 3s as well, Jordan pippen and Rodman being among them. The NBA shouldn’t be allowed to own a team in its league, that just screams corruption.

    so they vetoed it cause they could, but they can't do shit about these superteams being created cause they can't. Where is the consistency then? dan gilbert said they should have a vote between the 29 owners? ok then everytime a star is leaving free agency to sign with 2 other stars in free agency let's have the 29 owners vote if whether or not that team should be allowed to sign that player. They only vetoed that trade cause it was the lakers simple as that, was it any other team in the nba it would have gone through. The lakers never had more than 2 stars in their championship run, unlike these other teams that need 3 to 4.

    • @darkcurrypowder
      @darkcurrypowder 6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      Clearly you didn't understand the video. They were able to veto it because the NBA was the OWNER of the hornets, just like Dan Gilbert is the OWNER of the Cavaliers. And the point about having a vote with all the owners, that suggestion was only possible because the NBA itself is MADE UP of the rest of the owners, therefore each owner technically partly owned the hornets as well. It wouldn't make sense to have every owner vote whenever a star player decides to sign with a different team LMFAO. Not saying this move wasn't shady, but that's the logic behind it

Doesn't make it right. lakers lost pau gasol n lamar odom for that trade, then he complains about cap space being free for future signing, duh.
