Statement from David Stern on Chris Paul trade: “Since the NBA purchased the New Orleans Hornets, final responsibility for
significant management decisions lies with the Commissioner's Office in
consultation with team chairman Jac Sperling. All decisions are made on
the basis of what is in the best interests of the Hornets. In the case of
the trade proposal that was made to the Hornets for Chris Paul, we decided,
free from the influence of other NBA owners, that the team was better
served with Chris in a Hornets uniform than by the outcome of the terms of
that trade.”
