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

Not surprised the Paul deal was killed. Wouldn't have made sense for the NBA-owned Hornets trying to unload team.

Trying to unload team? They get Gasol, Kevin Martin, and Lamar Odom. Wow. I thought it was a good deal for them too.
I thought it was a great deal for them, Im not even mad if it dont happen.

They are saying the league wants to unload the Hornets. Need to keep it desirable, having a star like Paul makes it so. Then the new owners can decide how to use that asset.
And I never saw it reported that the Hornets got Pau. They were getting Odom, Scola, Martin. Basically garbage.

The NBA doesn't need Chris Paul past this year. They need him in New Orleans until they can sell the team.
League does get something in return for a full year of Chris Paul on the Hornets. A chance to sell the team with better financials.

It sounds to me that the owners were more concerned with the Lakers building another dynasty than they were for the general good of the Hornets. Looks like the future owner in NO will be taking over the Hornets with no superstar and no good draft pick until at least 2013.
Yep, new owner won't be able to trade Paul at all.

They had much better offers on the table, Scola, Martin and Odom is hardly enough for Paul.
