Their saying that..
"owners were irate with the belief that the five-month lockout had happened largely to stop big-market teams from leveraging small-market teams for star players pending free agency."

B!tch please, The Hornets are getting Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Gordan Dragic and a rockets draft pick! So why the hell is Stern and some NBA owners still disappointed? The Hornets are getting the best deal on the table and with this killed they are int he risk of getting nothing and loosing Paul! It's just unfair to say that the deal is "Unfair"! If that was the case, why don't you guys break the trio in miami? What? So Lebron's too much for you guys? Pah-leeeas! That said, it means that their reasons are inappropriate for this case! I there for conclude that the real reason for this event is that David Stern is a Troll!
