The late commissioner of the NBA David Stern Veto pledged a three -way store after the 2011 lock.
Lakers He would gather a 26-year-old guardal of Chris Paul’s superstar to join Kobe Bryant from the then New Orleans Hornets. The Lakers would ship Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol. The NBA owned Hornets at the time, and DEMPS Director General did not receive Stern’s trade approval.
Once Stern found out, Veto was on the store, but he was able to only veto on that blockbuster because the league owned a team, not because he was a commissioner.
Silver said that regardless of the merits of the store, he cannot veto the job he does not like.
“I mean the way we do not put their thumb on the ladder, so to speak, when the store enters the League Office, what our basketball and legal people do is that this store operates within the collective by negotiating an agreement, regardless of the rules” , he said. “Then it is up or down, is granted or not based on these rules. We do not have to measure what we think are the merits of the store or should be.”

Asked if he at least thought it was cool that Doncic would be in the big market in Los Angeles, Silver pointed out that Dallas is a large media market.
“Honestly, Dallas is a big market and I was surprised that he traded from that point of view? Yes, I am a fan and teams not necessarily giving a league within such things, so that store wasn’t” I saw it coming. Some cases just know, “Silver said.
Silver added that he wanted both the Lakers and Mavericks to be successful after the seismic store.
“One thing I will say is that I have been with this league for a long time, as if nothing was written in. People who say I can predict the future unlikely, and we’ll see. I’m somehow rooted dallas, and I’m cheering for the Lakers. Anthony Davis To recover quickly and be All-Star, we know that it can be and long to stay healthy and I definitely cheer for Luke to show the world what a great player in LA. ”
