Guess they're really done with the CP3 negotations.

Why would the NBA sabotage the Hornets? Contraction? Right, that looks really good to potential owners or investors. The NBA is the owner of the team. That is the problem. The actions? I don't have a problem with them because every other team does the same thing. Demps had authority? Right. Like Kupchak doesn't run to Jerry for approval? Like Dolan doesn't have the final say on moves? Why are we trying to kid ourselves? This is what invested owners do. How many autonomous (as much as possible) GM's do we think there are in the NBA? Pat Riley and who else? Sam Presti? RC Buford? I bet it's a lot less than people think. And the luxury tax? The owner pays that bill. I wonder if a move that triggers the tax must be approved, under any circumstances?
The NBA needs to sell this team ASAP. I would guess the high price for Paul is playing in to this (make the team as attractive as possible).

Of course it always has to be approved by the owners, but you're kidding yourself if you think the league is handling this properly.
To completely undermine their GM and take over negotiations, after telling him and everyone else that Demps has autonomy to make a deal. The league office is not handling this right at all.
The overall issue is the league owning a team, though. Then with it being a small market team with a franchise player who wants to bolt to a big market after the months of negotiations during the lockout about this exact issue. Perfect storm.

Buyout (idk if is avilable), play or sit home and receive 0 checks.

He has to report.
I assume he'll get fined/suspended if he doesn't. Then again, he did throw out "retirement" if he got claimed by a team he didn't like.

I don't think he has a choice. He can try to force the Clippers hand, but he doesn't have a lot of leverage here, if any.
EDIT: The Clippers aren't that bad a situation, though. He'll likely start (right? correct me if I'm wrong) and he'll be playing with Blake Griffin. Maybe he doesn't make too much of a stink.

I believe you have to be under the cap in order to claim an amnesty player.
