This video is a good watch. Most of us all know this already but I do feel like Woj isnt as trustworthy as he once once. Shams is better and Jake Fischer and Windhorst have even been more consistent with their reporting

They are all compromised and biased to some extent. But it's good to know who they are giving preferential or unfair treatment to.

I didn't watch the video but unless Woj is out there eating babies the title seems a but much lol.

No one can stay on top forever. Woj is still up there.

Dude is often creating news at the behest of his sources, rather than reporting it.

I was called out on another thread by three posters saying I should only reference Woj or Shams and not people like Windy, particularly in reference to the Nets. One poster in the thread asked multiple times to see "proof" that Windy was ever more accurate than Woj. I posted this in response:

The plot thickened when Wojnarowski joined the same Greenberg ESPN Radio show, and said talks between the Nets and Sixers were “nowhere.”

“I try not to be in the prediction business, Greeny, because you follow the news where it leads,” Wojnarowski said. “But right now there’s no negotiation going on between Philadelphia and Brooklyn. The trade deadline is (Wednesday) at 3. It can change. But the idea that they are going back and forth — that’s been surmised by some — I don’t believe that to be accurate."

Windy, of course, said this,

Wednesday on Greenberg’s ESPN Radio show.

“Right now it’s about haggling the ancillary parts,” he said. “Does that mean it’s absolutely going to get done by tomorrow? No, I can’t say that. I’m not sitting in the room, it’s complicated. They are in the deal zone right now. I am leaning towards this probably happening. I don’t want to guarantee it, but I think we’re heading in that direction.”

Walk me through which one was right about the Simmons-Harden trade again? (Hint: it's Windy.)

That poster's response back? Crickets....

Woj Bombs (and the Sham version) are basically the equivalent of kids on the playground shouting "First!" Oftentimes, their information is just seconds faster than other news sources. It's sad that we live in a world where this matters so much....

thats what they all are doing. they put out the nonsense they are told in return for the actual scoop. its relationship. I almost always believe that someone told them what they are reporting, its just that i dont always believe the source is a good one, or may not have the right motivations in sharing the intel

It's insane to me that Woj gets $7 million a year just for being first (and now probably second behind Shams) to break news about the NBA.

Woj and Shams, the 2 most useless people in sports media. Could be replaced by an intern at the NBA head office.

For the life of me I can't understand why these guys are so talked about or important. All the same information gets out there either way...

With that kind of money Woj has to bend the knee to his NBA masters and only report what they want him to report.

This **** made watching the 22 draft completely unenjoyable, they had him on there literally just announcing the picks two minutes before the Commish. Terrible TV.

Ever since his article on JR Smith I haven't respected Woj as a person

The thing I have never got is many people who seemed to have picked teams between Woj and Shams. Don’t get why many get so high and low about these guys.

Everybody is getting exposed out there, no one is safe.

Next up, Adam Silver?
