Report: League will not allow any other potential Celtics-Clippers transactions this offseason

From CBS Sports Ken Berger:

The NBA will not approve any subsequent exchange of players between the Clippers and Celtics this summer, and the teams understand that.

And from ESPN's Marc Stein:

To reiterate: All indications are NBA WILL approve LAC deal for Doc Rivers. But all indications also are any KG-to-Clips trade gets blocked
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 23, 2013

And here's why: Teams can't put players in transaction for a coach. NBA sees KG being dealt to Clips, now or later, as part of same Doc deal

However, Stein does offer a possible alternative:

Will Celts & Clips pursue three-team (or more) trades that win NBA's blessing to land KG in LA? Who'd guess "no" after week we've just seen?

Scott Souza of the MetroWest Daily News suggests an explanation for why David Stern has decided not to allow the Garnett trade:

Reminder that no #NBA player was more publicly critical of commish after lockout deal than Kevin Garnett. David Stern can sure hold grudge.
