Why did the NBA not veto the Cousins trade?


Eazy-E

Recommended Posts

I was thinking back to when the Lakers were set to acquire Chris Paul and the NBA veto'ed the trade because "it wasn't fair for all parties involved". The Cousins trade is the worst trade I can remember off the top of my head. I know Stern and Silver go about business a bit differently but holy poo they let the Kings fug them selves hard.

Tinfoil hat time: fug New Orleans. The NBA blocked the CP3 trade saying teams needed to give NO more value in return. Didn't bring up Houston really who were also involved in the deal. The deal that the Clippers offered many argue was a worse deal for NO besides the financial side of things. The Lakers were apparently dumping 40mill in contracts while still getting CP3. Add in the fugery of after losing CP3 in 2011 the NBA gifted NO the number 1 pick in the 2012 draft after Charlotte just suffered through the worst record in NBA history. Now, Charlotte loses All Star weekend and the NBA gives it to NO (this Allstar weekend was terrible imo). While All star weekend is going on the NBA allows one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history to go through. WTF NBA, go fug yourselves. What is your fuging love affair with New Orleans and why do you hate Charlotte so much.

really fug the nba- they were SELLING the team and magically new orleans ends up with the number one pick and the best prospect in decades

We had the worst record in NBA history (even with a strike to start the season) we should have had number 1 pick. That's why I hate the lottery. How can bad teams get better if the worst one doesn't pick first?

The NBA can't block trades, the only person you have to blame for Boogie being in NOLA is Vivek and Vlade. That being said, I still really doubt they'll be any good, they have like 5 NBA players on their roster. Just because 2 out of the 5 are incredible doesn't really mean much, you need some depth.

Oh and the NBA blocked the Chris Paul trade because they owned the team at the time.

    • That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.
    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?   
    • How do you reconcile with the fact that the most competent and productive the Panthers passing offense has looked at any point between 2023 and 2025 were both games where Andy Dalton (who is completely washed and terrible) started? 680 passing yards and 5 touchdowns in two games. And one of those games was with Frank Reich as the head coach. This team needs competent QB play.
