If you publicly announce who you are and where you're getting info from, and the people you're getting it from don't want that known, you'll very soon stop getting it from them.

I was referring to Holv, to be honest.

Are people seriously getting on holv's case? This dude's track record has been very good so far.

Just an FYI, looks like Tracy McGrady is our 14th guy.

At some point I lost track.

We've now got

Rose - PG
Hinrich - G
Teague - PG
Robinson - G
Hamilton - SG/SF
Belinelli - SG/SF
Deng - F
Butler - SG/SF
Boozer - PF
Gibson - PF/C
Noah - C/PF
Nazr - C

That's 12 players

And we are circling around

McGrady - SF/PG
Radmonovic - F
Thomas - PF

We aren't going to go in to the season with 15 players right? We'd be over the tax?

Looks like we need our 13th and 14th to be bigs?

How sure are we about a McGrady signing?

Itd be nice to have a PUP list for NBA. We could start Rose and Deng on there to give us roster spots while they heal.

The Bulls have already signed Radmonovic and are circling Robinson, Tmac, and Thomas. Personally I hope we land all 3 and dump Rip for nothing.

Did you not also mention Nate Robinson in your first post? Either way major props again.

Why is it several folks are taking shots at this guy. He simply stated that he works at ESPN and can not say much more than that. I don't think he has suggested anything outrageous to warrant some of the pointed comments.

Nope.

Honestly, it's not that hard to hear rumours. More importantly to you though, Holv, it's not that important to hear them, and definitely not so to retell them. If you do have a legitimate connection at ESPN, you need to seriously consider whether it is worth jeopardising that just for a bit of message board kudos. My advice for you would be that it isn't. And while I appreciate that you didn't ask for such advice, do please consider the source, for I have experience in this matter.

I am not doubting Holv. In fact you'll notice the opposite - I'm advising him NOT to milk his source, thereby implictly acknowledging that I believe he has one.

Just trying to help you here dude. It's fun being a fan, and fans love rumours, but if being a fan might damage your job and/or career, **** rumours.

Just being curious here: How likely is it that a rumour posted in an anonymous board could be traced back to someone?

I understand that ANY risk should be avoided, which is why I REALLY apreciate anyone who is willing to post something that they heard from a source, and why I don´t get the posters who give **** to said informers.
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.

It's not anonymous if you post under your real name. Is my point.

I don´t get the posters who give **** to said informers.


Posters give **** to said informers because a lot of people pretend to have stuff (or wildly exaggerate snippets they heard from someone who knows someone who knows someone) because for some reason people with "sources" on message boards are regarded as gods. People want this reverence and they'll manipulate things to get it. So the sniff test for legitimacy is a strong one.

new bench mob of Hinrich , Nate, Radman, Nazr, Rocky in addition to Taj and Butler is quite intriguing. tmac?

im calling it a decent offseason. heck we might get a playoff slot in time for the unicorn's arrival.
