Do you think it was right for the NBA to veto the Chris Paul trade?
In my opinion it in many ways is not fair and not right to the fans, players, and the organizations. If players and teams want to trade or be traded and play in other cities for other teams why is the NBA stopping it?
It is not fair to the players in this trade that the NBA stepped in and vetoed this. If you are a team that has worked a deal to get a player that will be a huge asset to your team and that is taken away from you for no reason except the assumption that your team will be too overpowering in the league that's not right. Basically, the NBA is saying no because with this player you will have a juggernaut team that will dominate. Since when are we trying to control the talent in the pros?
It is also not fair to the players in the trade. Say your the players being traded away from your team for this player, and the trade gets vetoed. Why would you want to go back to a team that doesn't want you? You wouldn't! That puts those players in an awful position. And for Chris Paul, he's probably excited to be upgrading to a very strong team but that gets taken from him and he has to go back to the team thats not as talented. He's a great player that wants to win a championship but the NBA says no because the team that your going to has too many good players already. NBA is a joke. It would be better is the league went back into lockout mode if this is how its going to be.
I don't understand why he was able to go to the Clippers but not the Lakers. And if the NBA was allowed to intervene with Chris Paul, why didn't he do it with Lebron? Is this the backlash from the Lebron trade? I have heard that many people are blaming Dan Gilbert for exercising influence.
