Last summer alone provided too many doozies to list. I will also personally never forget parking myself in front of a computer for nearly 24 hours straight to track every tweet, emoji and crazy twist of DeAndre Jordan’s commitment to sign with Dallas in July 2015, followed by Jordan’s subsequent (and surreal) de-commitment, so he could return to the Clippers.
But no signing or trade (or vetoed trade) generates a reaction quite like David Stern’s refusal, as the acting owner of the league-owned New Orleans Hornets, to allow New Orleans general manager Dell Demps to go ahead with a three-way deal in December 2011 that would have landed the disgruntled Paul with the Lakers.
