League is ed.
Hornets general manager Dell Demps is “disconsolate” over the heavy-handed move from the commissioner’s office, a source told Y! Sports. Demps considered resigning his job on Thursday, league sources said, and had to be talked out of it. The Hornets had scored a terrific deal for Paul, a trade that was lauded by some of Demps’ peers throughout the league. Officials involved in the trade talks said the league office was consulted throughout the negotiations, and there was never an indication Demps didn’t have the power to make a deal. In fact, several teams negotiating with New Orleans to get Paul asked the league office, and were told Demps had full authority to execute a trade.

so sad. he did a good job. he was getting good remarks from his peers. heck even the troll spurs fans should feel for the guy, he came up in your front office.
now you've done it,we are trying to cheer up BR and now you come with this, thanks alot![]()
They would have had Odom, Martin, Scola, Dragic.....it would have been a GREAT trade for New Orleans.
Ridiculous decision by the NBA and is costing them credibility already.
He should sue like CP3
Kool will even front the legal fees.![]()
please he can't even pay 500
He should retire for taking that stupid deal for his franchise.
Demps has done a great job in the short time he has been here. the NBA is a ing joke
Gasol has $55mil still coming to him over the next 3 years and had already been mailing it in. Thats a ing albatross and no wonder the Lakers want rid of it.
I think it woulda been a good deal for NO tbh, not sure why they'd want Odom over Gasol though
I wouldn't call that a terrific deal. What if a potential buyer hates it?
Demps would have probably won GM of the year for turning a 7th seed team into a 6th seed team.
Wow. It's an awful deal for NO and for a guy who complains about how the Suns go about business I figured you of all people would agree with that.
Does this make us even for Kool not paying me the $500 he owes me? Probably not since he spams me with porn and starts terrible threads non stop.
He's a PG hater, and Paul is a PG. It makes sense.
Current Hornets > That Hornets team
And that's the bottomline
Do you think Stern said, in a phone call "not a ing dime".
How is it an awful deal for New Orleans? Scola and Martin allow put up far bigger numbers combined than CP3 and that is before you even factor in Odom and Dragic.
*purs fans continue to exhibit a blatant lack of basketball knowledge. Go over to Lakers ground and read my archived posts for a few months. Consider it my free basketball education to you.
son it was a ing awesome deal for the Hornets. 4 solid players and two draft picks for a 5'10 point guard with a bum knee and questionable at ude.
solid point. but it means now that the precedent has been set, paul is not going anywhere otherwise stern would contradict himself. in addition nobody should be singed for more than a 1 year deal. they have 6 players under contract. just sing a bunch of nbdl scrubs
