Non-Sharks Bay Area Sports Thread XXVIII

I don't follow the NBA anymore, but wasn't there a time the Lakers were trying to get Chris Paul and the NBA stepped in and voided the trade? When could the league step in and say this is a bad trade or did something like that get changed. It seemed like this is something the NBA should have reviewed throughly first before it became official.

The only reason that happened was because Paul was on the New Orleans Hornets which was owned by the league at the time and the rest of the league called foul when New Orleans ended up with a grab bag of lesser players while the Lakers got the best player in the deal

Feel like this Butler trade is a lateral move. They really needed KD to be legit contenders .

The one thing you can say about Butler is that when he's happy with his contract situation, he always gives 100%, which is something that could never be said about Wiggins. I don't think this team is relevant in a Western Conference that includes a healthy OKC, but they probably can get out of the playin game with decent health. Trouble is, you can never count on good health when your team's best players are all over 35.

49ers doing an entire coaching overhaul while keeping Shanny. Awesome to see. 9ers hired Gus Bradley
