I'm just saying he has a history of this.  It's getting old, if he's not going to show up the NBA should veto the deal and get Jordan Hill back to the Rockets.

He also has a history of not missing a game since 2007. He had a similar record in Golden State. He probably knows that Houston is going to buy out his contract anyway. There's a good chance that Miami will sign him before the end of the season.

LOL.

The League OWNS the Hornets, you doof. THEY decided what trades happen.

I applaud Stern. I only wish he would step in and veto other LA conspiracy trades such as this one.

After Stern exercised his powers, nobody questioned his right to veto the trade (including myself, in my last post). The problem is Stern's leadership and ethics. The league-owned team, after their involvement in the Paul trades, is dead last in its conference. The city of Charlotte won't even support the Bobcats after the Hornets franchise was moved. The Hornets' star player was traded to "LA" anyway, after the same owners shut the NBA down, under the pretense of defending smaller markets. Making fun of the Lakers is one thing. They're successful enough to survive a bad season, or several. However, a lot of cities and organizations are in terrible shape, because of Stern's priorities and decisions. There's no way a sports fan can take Stern seriously, never mind applaud him.

Owners colluding with the commissioner to veto a trade really shouldn't sit well with any fan of sports. It doesn't matter if the commissioner had the legal right to intervene, and it shouldn't matter if it happened to the Lakers, or to your favorite team.

For example, I was never a Seattle Sonics fan, but I can't stand the fact that the Thunder are on top of the Western Conference, thanks to the Sonics' draft picks (Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka). If/when the Thunder go on to win a championship, that title belongs to Seattle, not Oklahoma City.

I hate Stern and everything that he stands for, and I can't wait for the day that he retires.

Is Samsung typical of how Japanese people view Koreans or something (probably not, because look at LG)? I am really not getting the personification of Samsung phones here.

Do they really think the SGS II isn't a serious phone?
(aka: the best Android phone on the market)
It's just a play on the Galaxy brand name.

Upgrade.

Is it really an upgrade? I see the exact same type of woman that Kobe's set to give millions of dollars to. And history seems right on schedule to repeat itself.
