David Stern Did The Right Thing With Chris Paul

Steve Kerr Unloads On NBA Owners, Calls Dan Gilbert A Baby
After three seasons as the personnel guy in Phoenix, Steve Kerr returned to TV because he wasn't very good at GMing. But he has opinions about the league blocking a Chris Paul-to-Lakers deal.

Aborted Chris Paul Trade Cannot Be Appealed, Because It Was Technically The Hornets Who Backed Out
