Albert Pujols going to LA and Chris Paul not??

baseball and basketball was making much noise in LA for a minute today, news got out that former St Louis Cardinals All Star and Great Player Albert Pujols signed a new 10 year contract with the LA ANgels. meanwhile in Basketball news the LA Lakers made a trade for Point Guard All Star Chris Paul, however that deal has gotten denied.

now Pujols going to the Angels is a Great move by them and since they have watched division rivals Texas get to the world series for two straight years this is a smart move.

in the NBA the CP3 move would have been great and interesting except it came at worse time. i mean the league and players just got over a 5 month old strike and one of the issues was about balance of power and you just can't have a team like the Lakers rack up and not give other teams a chance at going after a Chris Paul. going to be interesting how Lamar Odoms and Pau Gasol respond knowing they were traded and now they have to report back to Lakers camp, tommorow oh to be a fly on wall and will Chris Paul show up to Hornets camp?

i don't have a problem with Chris Paul's trade being vetoed because the NBA needs balance and to show the fans that every team has a chance to win, even if David Stern has pretty much acted like a fix or so has been going on for years.
