Who is the random media guy?

The guy referenced in the tweet LP posted that is opining on our FO's views of Melo and Fears.

Rafael Barlowe isn't really that random of a source to me, he does the draft year round. Took over for Chad Ford and has over 25k twitter followers.

It is not like he is a random big board with 1.5k followers that put out a "mock draft" on twitter.

Agreed that he's not a complete nobody, but I don't believe he has a line in to our FO's strategy, given how close to the vest they have kept this entire draft process.

Let's be logical

Fears and his camp don't want to be drafted by charlotte, so you know this nugget isn't coming from them

If hornets had genuine interest in fears, then why would they leak this? We never leak anything real.

It's a smokescreen or simply a guess from an outside source.

I think they’re trying to get an additional asset from the Jazz to move up one spot. No idea what that asset might be.

If Charlotte doesn’t want Fears or Ace but Utah does, then give us 5 and 21, we give 4, 33 and 34.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I'd demand 5 + the distant Suns 1st Ainge acquired at the deadline for 3 protected 1sts.
