Woj (bit of a nets homer), Berger, David Aldridge for the most part.

Any poopsworld//amateur really just finds other places and reports what's been going on and twists the wording.

can't believe they asked him to stay again.

Just take the Houston package or Bynum who is probably going to be the best Laker this year anyways and move on.

This dude is just trying to stay relevant. Every time a story breaks, he bites someone who broke it. That or he's got the same sources as everyone else but is just always 2 minutes 2 late.

Alex Kennedy blows.

Yeah I always notice when Yahoo tweets someting, Alex Kennedy 2 mins later erases "sources tell Y! sports" to "sources tell hoopsworld"

He does get those CJ Watson scoops though :lol:

How do we know that their "Sources" are really just Adidas, Lakers or the Nets. I mean, what would stop any of these teams or sponsors to dropping a couple grand or five figures into some of these guys accounts to help their cause.

I think if they aren't getting the offers they want, it made sense to try and convince the best center in the game to give Henny a chance to get there. The problem is Dwight is sequestered in LA with his entourage feeding negatives into his head every day.

At this point, it looks like it's irreconcilable differences. I hope to be rooting for Bynum in the Electric Blue next year.

RealGM worked on the Trade Machine over at ESPN if I am not mistaken. I reckon most media people know about RealGM by now. Especially, if they use google for information. RealGM shows up on the 1st page of most player searches. Thus, a great place for "Sources."

I would not be upset with Bynum but I'd rather have Houston's young players and assets. Next, tank for Shabazz or Noel.

Could be a "last chance" effort before they pull the trigger on the best deal. You would think part of that conversation would be "extend, give us more teams to deal with or it's Houston".

Sources tell me Dwight likes the hoes in New Jersey over those in LA. Nets must have the upper hand here.
