David Stern... adjudicator of truth and justice?

Earlier today:

Cp3 > Lakers
Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom, Luis Scola > Hornets
Pau Gasol > Rockets

All was normal, until David Stern tells them to shove it?

NBA commissioner David Stern killed the New Orleans Hornets’ trade of Chris Paul after several owners complained about the league-owned team dealing the All-Star point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Some owners pushed Stern to nullify the trade and that the Hornets be made to keep Paul on the roster for the foreseeable future, sources said. A chorus of owners were irate with the belief that the five-month lockout had happened largely to stop big-market teams from leveraging small-market teams for star players pending free agency.

I'm not gonna say I like the guy... the article makes it sound like he didn't have a choice. Your thoughts?

I actually don't think this is a great trade for the Lakers. I mean, take out the probability that they get Howard. I feel like the Hornets were getting the better part of the trade and the Rockets were quietly making off like bandits.
