competitive balance

[pass1st]

Small market teams were supposed to get a better chance

NOH is a small market team with a franchise player that is going to walk out

They were about to be gifted a bunch of good players for CP3

This would have made LAL weaker, NOH stronger

Small market owners pulled the plug

I don't get it :downspin:

[Budkin]

LAL weaker?? :lmao

[DMC]

LAL weaker?? :lmao
This is called diplomacy.

Really, it's better for you that we keep the gold. It's so heavy and your life would be ruined with all the wealth. Now you get to continue your life without interruption.

LAL weaker?? :lmao

What would you rather have, Gasol + Odom or CP3?

[Mugen]

CP3 + Dwight > Gasol/Odom/Bynum

no way the lakers do the CP3 deal without knowing they'd get D12 as well.

Owners didnt block just the CP trade. but the inevitable lopsided deal sending Dwight to the Lakers.

Kudos to them.

Stern just reminding everybody who's the fucking boss, that's all

[Donkeybong]

As a laker fan, im glad this trade didnt go down. Lakers were giving up too much

5 years and 2 Laker rings too late

Gasol should have never worn purple & yellow

[NRHector]

Owners paying back to the players for trying to suit them during the lockout, paying back is a bitch or karma

This is Stern telling Derrick Fisher "fuck you".

In other words, you support tampering of the system so that successful teams cannot win. It's fans like you that make me fucking sick. You're no better than that piece of shit Stern.

This trade was pretty bad, I was only happy that the Knicks were fucked with it.

No he didn't ...he got punked by a small group of owners. Same ones pushing for the lockout. He use to be a fucking boss ...now he is a errand boy ... a messenger.
