Yeah this is the first time in NBA history that a team that's sending the all-star player is the one adding more value to the trade and getting absolutely nothing in return. How is this allowed by the league but the CP3 deal Stern vetoed to the Lakers wasn't??

If I remember correctly it's because at the time the NBA was acting ownership of the NO hornets which effectively made Stern GM of that team and he was doing what he felt was best for that team.
