Haha....Stern is probably the one that is forcing this trade.  Just like he forced the trade to give them Pau in his prime to give the a title, and now that he is on the downswing, he makes forces a trade of him to get the top pg in the game. 

Stern will have to change his underwear after peeing himself from laughter at how he is screwing the C's again.

When was the last time Stern vetoed a trade? And on what grounds? NOH's return is not bad. But I would like someone to conduct a breathalyzer on Morey.

Owners were irate in Board of Governors meeting with Stern, livid that the league-owned Hornets were allowed to make Paul deal, sources say.

NBA owners have pushed David Stern to kill a proposed trade that would send Chris Paul to the Lakers from the NBA-owned Hornets.

Owners were irate with Stern during Thursday's Board of Governors meeting.

Sources from Paul's camp tell ESPN's Marc Stein that the deal will not go through on Friday and that he is expected to report to the Hornets' training camp.

This is a special situation.  Each of those owners are 1/29th owners of the Hornets.  

It sounds like they don't want Paul traded at all.  They might want him on the roster to sell the team.

Pathetic. I think the trade is awful for the Hornets, but the right thing to do is to accept it and fire Dell Demps.

A true knee-slapper.

It's on ESPN right now.

Deal not happening - at least for now.
