(CBS) –<\/strong> Instead of talking about his first practice under new head coach Mike Brown, Kobe Bryant was hit with plenty of questions about the NBA’s decision to nix a trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

When asked about commissioner Stern killing the trade, he told a large contingent of reporters in El Segundo, “He can do whatever the hell he wants to do. He’s the commissioner.”<\/p>\n

Kobe didn’t seem worried about his teammates Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, who were traded away, only to remain member of the Lakers, ” They’ll get over it.\u00a0 You don’t win back-to-back by being soft emotionally. “<\/p>\n

Bryant was asked by Cheryl Miller from NBA.com what he will say to Gasol and Odom, “Do your job.”<\/p>\n

\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014<\/strong> Even with a flurry of moves around the NBA, the focus remained on the deal that didn’t get done.<\/p>\n

Chris Paul is still in New Orleans, and there’s anger throughout the league about it.<\/p>\n

Instead of the immediate boost the league craved coming out the lockout with free agency and training camps opening, it found itself with another public relations disaster.<\/p>\n

“That’s the first thing I thought. We just got done arguing for four or five months and everyone just wants to see basketball and now this. Huge controversy, again with NBA owners,” said Minnesota forward Anthony Tolliver, the Timberwolves’ player representative. “I just hope it doesn’t damage everybody and hope it doesn’t affect everybody in the whole league, which I think it possibly could. This is a really big deal because it’s everywhere, all over ESPN, all over every website, CNN, everything. It’s a really big deal.”<\/p>\n

The Hornets, owned by the league, had agreed to a three-team trade Thursday that would have sent their All-Star point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers. But the league killed the deal for “basketball reasons” and has denied the decision came about because of pressure on Commissioner David Stern from angry owners.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Paul was seen walking into New Orleans’ training facility Friday wearing a black Hornets practice jersey. The Houston players who would have been on the move instead took part in their first practice with new coach Kevin McHale.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got nothing to share. These guys are here today, we talked about it today. In the NBA, lots of stuff happens. A lot happens that’s really good, a lot happens sometimes that’s bad. I felt bad for those guys,” McHale said. “I felt terrible, seeing their names all over the place, they’re traded, they’re not traded.<\/p>\n

“That’s very hard. I know sometimes, we all get into that, that they’re athletes and all of that. They’re human beings, and that’s a big change. I felt bad for them, but hey, we discussed it.”<\/p>\n

And it might be up for discussion again.<\/p>\n

New Orleans general manager Dell Demps said the team has resumed talks for Paul \u2014 to any team \u2014 and that he has been given autonomy to make another trade.<\/p>\n

Maybe the other owners will like the next trade more.<\/p>\n

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told a radio station Friday that the league went through the lockout to prevent this very type of deal in which small-market teams lose their superstars. And a letter from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert to Stern clearly showed he, too, objected to the deal.<\/p>\n

“I just don’t see how we can allow this trade to happen,” Gilbert wrote in the letter, which was obtained by Yahoo Sports<\/span> and The New York Times.<\/p>\n

He added: “I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.”<\/p>\n

Utah Jazz president Randy Rigby said owners had no say in vetoing the trade, but applauded the move.<\/p>\n

“I’m one who likes to see the market and teams that have invested in a player and helped develop a player have an opportunity to have that player be a long-time part of that community,” Rigby said. “As a small-market team, it’s very important. … We had a lot of years of success with certain players named John Stockton, Karl Malone, who invested and committed to a community. That community committed back, and we saw a lot of success together.”<\/p>\n

Hall of Famer Magic Johnson took the opposite stance, writing on Twitter on Friday that it was the “wrong decision” by Stern and the owners.<\/p>\n

Stern responded in a statement, saying the Hornets were “better served with Chris in a Hornets uniform than by the outcome of the terms of that trade.”<\/p>\n

The angry reaction to the trade threatened to overshadow what should have been a positive day around the NBA, when the focus was finally supposed to be on basketball again.<\/p>\n

“2day was suppose 2 be a happy day for the NBA. Practice starts but I woke up to all this mess. Summer of 2010 looks pretty normal now,” Miami’s Dwyane Wade wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

When LeBron James and Chris Bosh left their small-market teams to build a potential powerhouse with Wade in Miami, it gave owners even more motivation to seek changes that would limit the big spenders’ advantages in the new collective bargaining agreement. Yet the idea of Paul in Los Angeles \u2014 on the very day the CBA was being ratified \u2014 served to make the entire work stoppage seem like a waste.<\/p>\n

“We just had a lockout, and one of the goals of the lockout was to say that small-market teams now have a chance to keep their players, and the rules were designed to give them that opportunity,” Cuban told ESPN 103.3 in Dallas. “So to all of a sudden have a league-owned team trade their best player, particularly after having gone out and sold a ton of tickets in that market, that’s not the kind of signal you want to send.”<\/p>\n

Though Paul has never said so, there has long been speculation he would leave New Orleans when he can become a free agent this summer. The Hornets have been working to make sure they get something for him, and the proposed deal Thursday would have netted them some talent in return.<\/p>\n

“Of course, Dell (Demps) and Monty (Williams) were very upset when everything fell through,” said a person familiar with the work the general manager and coach had put into negotiations that led to the proposed trade. “They had spent a lot of time on it and they thought it was a great deal for the team.”<\/p>\n

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.<\/p>\n

The Hornets would have received Lamar Odom, last year’s top sixth man, from the Lakers, as well as forward Luis Scola, shooting guard Kevin Martin, point guard Goran Dragic and a first-round draft choice from the Houston Rockets. And the Lakers’ Pau Gasol would have gone to the Rockets.<\/p>\n

That’s far better than the Hornets may get in another deal, since many teams are hesitant to offer their top players in case Paul intends to only stay one season.<\/p>\n

“Wrong decision by Stern & the owners,” Johnson wrote. “Sends a bad message to fans. Was a good deal for the Lakers, Hornets & Rockets-everyone got better.”<\/p>\n

The NBA took over ownership of the Hornets from George Shinn last December until a buyer could be found. The hope has long been to keep the franchise in New Orleans, and the team recently announced it sold 10,000 season tickets.<\/p>\n

An NBA statement Thursday night said the trade was blocked for “basketball reasons.” However, Stern said Friday he also considered the Hornets’ business performance when killing the deal.<\/p>\n

“Since the NBA purchased the New Orleans Hornets, final responsibility for significant management decisions lies with the Commissioner’s office in consultation with team chairman Jac Sperling. All decisions are made on the basis of what is in the best interests of the Hornets,” Stern said in the statement. “In the case of the trade proposal that was made to the Hornets for Chris Paul, we decided, free from the influence of other NBA owners, that the team was better served with Chris in a Hornets uniform than by the outcome of the terms of that trade.”<\/p>\n

The Lakers’ Gasol took it in stride, ready to go back to work. He tweeted: “New day my friends. On my way to El Segundo for the first day of training camp …”<\/p>\n

Scola chose humor, writing that he was on his way to the Toyota Center and that “this is going to be fun. The good thing is that the TC it’s on the way to the airport, just in case.”<\/p>\n

Despite those positive attitudes, Stern’s statement generated plenty of anger as players reported to camps throughout the day. Bad feelings remain from the CBA negotiations, during which Stern upset players who knew they’d be making financial concessions with what they considered “take-it-or-leave-it” proposals. Paul was a member of the players’ executive committee.<\/p>\n

“This is a perfect example of the things that were so alarming during the lockout, that the owners don’t want players to have freedom of choice and that doesn’t work when you’re dealing with the most talented people in the world at their profession,” said agent Mark Bartelstein, who didn’t have a player in the proposed deal.<\/p>\n

“When you look at other entertainers, they get perform where they want. They get to make choices on what they want to do with their careers, what movie they want to be in, what city they want to perform in. Owners are doing everything they can to ratchet down freedom of choice for players.”<\/p>\n

Sheriff's investigators say a man has been found dead in a cell at L.A County Men's Central Jail with wounds that suggest he was killed by another inmate.<\/p>\n\n

The Los Angeles Times<\/a> reports that the death was discovered at about 1 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n\n

\"Any time there's a death, we're going to send homicide detectives,\" Gomez said. \"We haven't verified that it was a homicide.\"<\/p>\n\n

Det. Pete Gomez said the circumstances of the death remain unclear, and it's being investigated by detectives to verify whether it was a homicide.<\/p>

The L.A. Department of Water and Power has won praise for its response to wind storms that knocked out electricity at 200,000 Angelenos\u2019 homes. But many officials are still asking \"What happens next?\" City councilman Paul Krekorian announced Friday that he would like to investigate whether DWP\u2019s communications system can work any better.<\/p>\n\n

In a meeting of the city council, Krekorian proposed that the municipal utility report back to city officials about its outreach efforts. Specifically, he\u2019s interested in what DWP can do to keep people who don\u2019t have computers or don\u2019t have power in the loop. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor the most part, the city\u2019s response to the weather emergency has been orderly, swift and appropriate,\u201d Krekorian wrote in his motion. \u201cBut the storm provides an opportunity to evaluate the city\u2019s emergency response performance and find ways to improve.\"<\/p>\n\n

Spokesman Joe Ramallo countered that DWP\u2019s windstorm communications marked improvement over previous incidents. At the same time, Ramallo said he\u2019d be happy to report back to the City Council if it asks.<\/p>\n\n

\"The response by our crews to restore power to customers quickly was extraordinary and accomplished without a single injury in a remarkably short period of time,\" Ramallo said in a statement. \"While communication with our customers was significantly better than in past major incidents, we know we can and should do even better in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n

Water and power officials sent out emails and used social media to update customers about progress in repairing downed lines. The utility also notes that none of its workers suffered injury in the field in the days after heavy winds.<\/p>\n\n

Correction: Paul Krekorian was earlier misidentified as a county supervisor rather than a city councilman.<\/em><\/p>

Patient advocates, caregivers and students rallied Friday at a Los Angeles press conference against the up to $2.5 billion in anticipated cuts to state programs \u2014 including social services for the state's most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n

Up to $2.5 billion in so-called \"trigger cuts\" will happen if state officials determine by Dec. 15 that California has not received $4 billion in tax revenue. Among the first tier of automatic cuts is $100 million each to both in-home supportive services and developmental services. <\/p>\n\n

Wheelchair-bound Cinde Soto attended the downtown press conference and spoke against the cutbacks.<\/p>\n\n

\"I'm completely paralyzed from my shoulders down,\" said Soto. \"I can't even scratch my nose if I wanted to. So any cut in hours I'm going to be in big trouble. My health and safety will be very much compromised.\"<\/p>\n\n

Nancy Berlin, director of the California Partnership, said California politicians need to stave off the pending cuts by raising taxes.<\/p>\n\n

\"It's absolutely essential,\" she insisted, \"otherwise we will have people with disabilities who will not be able to get their medications. They won't be able to be fed and cared for.\"<\/p>\n\n
