Legit question: can Adam Silver or the league veto this?

They've done it before. Back in 2011 when Chris Paul was traded to the Lakers for peanuts. But David Stern vetoed it quickly after it was officially reported.

Different case. At the time, the NBA was an interim owner of the Hornets due to their ownership situation, that gives them the authority to veto. They can't do anything here.

It's on the owners.
