wasn't exactly guarded with his feelings:
"It demonstrates that they're not a model of intelligent management. There were many checkpoints along the way where more decisive action would have eliminated this issue."
Mind you, that's only a statement on the organization's culture. When asked about how Isiah Thomas assembled an overpaid, borderline mediocre team, Stern said, "Oh, that guy. Total dipshit."
In other news, remember how Jerry Buss got busted for DUI back in May? Well, he got convicted, and Stern rewarded him with a $25K fine and a two-game suspension. Oh no, not a suspension! But who will sit in the owner's box and watch the game from afar through a monocle? They're going to have to sign some poor millionaire without a team to a ten-day contract or something. Maybe they can grab Starbucks CEO/former Sonics owner Howard Schultz for a couple days. "Okay, dude, just sit back and relax, maybe look down to the court once a quarter. And try not to sell the team to a shithead from Oklahoma, huh?"

Get Rob Babcock on the phone. you'd be suprized how quick he could resolve the Kobe trade.
"But who will sit in the owner's box and watch the game from afar through a monocle?"
Why, Rip Taylor, of course.
There were many checkpoints along the way where more decisive action would have eliminated this issue.
He was talking about how he handled the whole Tim Donaghy thing, right?
In an effort to clean up the image of the NBA he has also banned boat shoes… damn you Buss, you are just too hood.
RIP Rip Taylor, RIP.
@mingusmonk: Ooh. Sorry, the correct answer was Mr. Peanut. Yep, Mr. Peanut.
Andrew Bynum needs to do something during that game.
Damn you for beating me to the Mr. Peanut joke, WAS.
Is Buss's daughter still allowed to blow the coach?
Shouldn't Stern be focused on the more important issues ruining the game? Like, what the players wear on the team bus?
or suspending players for a crucial play-off game so the Spurs can make the finals?
Herr Goodell is unimpressed.
$25,000 is a joke, that's an ante for one hand at Friday night poker for this douche.
DAVID STERN IS BUSTIN' SKULLS
Squicking?
@whowillsexmutombo – or his own damn self. Stern is the cockiest commish ever and his league is going to pay the price.
"where more decisive action would have eliminated this issue."
"Take care of her?" (Making a gun out of his finger and placing it to his head.-Jules Winnfield
Of course he's pissed about the Knicks having to pay 12 mill, he's Jewish.
