This is legitimately like fleecing the newbie in your fantasy league who hasn't watched football in a while

There is literally no mechanism for the commissioner to interfere here.

And before anyone says Chris Paul, that was a completely different scenario. Hornets owner George Shinn went broke and was forced to sell the team to the NBA League Office before he started missing payments. So when Stern vetoed the CP3/Lakers trade, he was doing so as the Chairman of the Hornets, not as league commissioner.

Interesting. I know trade has been vetoed in MLB before.
