the biggest trade in nba history
so there was this mega-deal that went down last night, involving 5 teams and 13 players. if you care you can read about the details in that link above, but here's my boiled down version:
the nba allowed this deal to help next year's ratings in the nba finals.
you see, the nba must approve of every deal before it can happen. the teams put together a proposal and the nba looks it over and if it's in any way one-sided (ie: a team trading away a disgruntled star player for much less in return) they'll step in and overrule it. it doesn't happen often but it does happen.
this time around, however, the nba allowed a mega-deal that clearly tipped the scales in the miami heat's favor. and why would they do that? because shaq's team in the finals mean more advertising revenue.
for you miami heat fans: let's hope jason williams's elbow bounce-pass to antoine walker on the wing will NOT result in an air-ball. on national tv.
