TOTAL agreement. The Lakers play New Orleans tonight, the third game of their four game road trip. David Stern is not here. He is absent from the scene of the crime. Anthony Davis will have to play without him. Monty Williams will still draw things up. Tyreke Evans, after driving to the rim, won’t see Stern with his arms folded. Ryan Anderson’s three point shots will have to make another lawyer applaud. And yet, David Stern is here in New Orleans. He is here every game. He is the one man responsible for the Pelicans being the Pelicans. He rescued the franchise off of life support and made this version of the Pelicans truly possible even if he had to commit a crime to do it. Because, the snatching of Chris Paul away from the Lakers made the Pelicans dream come true. Chris Paul should be a Laker. But he is not. David Stern voided the trade, and then, in a moment of powerful arrogance, acted as if the trade never happened in the first place. Consequently, Stern reduced the Lakers to a shell of themselves. As they fell deeper and deeper, the Pelicans grew bolder and wider. Whether it was by design or whether it was by accident, the bottom line remains the bottom line. The Lakers have never recovered from David Stern’s thievery which thrust the Lakers into NBA hell. bleacherreport/tb/dfR3w?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=los-angeles-lakers
