Seriously Though

The NBA has to let the deal go through. Let the teams tweak it a little bit to save face but you can't send that stripper back to college. It's over with. She a hoe. If Stern didn't want CP3 to end up in a big market, he should have taken Dell Demps and snipped the berries during the lockout.

And really, who wants Laker Fan to have an excuse for the rest of eternity? Let them have Chris Paul and his missing meniscus. The Lakers are going to end up with superstars one way or another. Huge market, storied history, capable management -- it's just a matter of time before they reload. When the Lakers win championships, they are just doing what a team with built in advantages should do. No big deal.

And damn, Rocket Fan already whines enough as is. Do it dirty like this and we'll never hear the end of it. True, they did hose the Hornets by upgrading from Scola to Gasol while simultaneously salary dumping Kevin Martin's mistake of a deal and that overrated Slovenian.

Evidently, Hornet Front Office and Hornet Fan are happy with their trade. I have no idea why because getting back bad contracts and cementing yourself into a life of mediocrity isn't usually a cause for celebration ... but there's really no reason to not allow them to be blissfully ignorant. You also don't take on bad contracts right before trying to sell a team -- but again, too late.

This ain't no bakery where you can go return your challah bread because the salt wasn't kosher enough. Deal was done. No chewing of it, brah.

Boooo.
"Lakers...capable management."

The NBA owned team takes the worst of it while benefiting the fraudiest team around and you're down? Walk the plank.

Good block by Cubes and the other owners.
