Chris Paul Trade Dead: Hope you’re happy David Stern
SCOTT JACOBS
Chris Paul to the Lakers is officially dead courtesy of the almighty David Stern. The deal which was agreed upon on Thursday, then vetoed by the league (which owns the Hornets) just hours later, for “basketball reasons” (cue the new popular phrase bandwagon) officially died a horrible, painful death yesterday after the Lakers pulled out when a reworked deal was also squashed. With the season set to start in a tidy 2 weeks, the Hornets are in complete disarray. Thank Stern, who made Hornets GM Dell Demps look like a damn fool. Alas, we are stuck at the alter of the commish, who has apparently well, taken over. Another brilliant sketch from our buddy over at 7th Inning Sketch.

I guess I had never heard that the league itself actually owned the hornets. This certainly sheds a new light on many of its activities. Are they getting too big for their own britches?
