Also, who the **** is Wojo? If you are talking about Adrian Wojnarowski, no one calls him Wojo. He's Woj. And he will not post anything until it is done. Same with Shams and Stein. Those guys work for major news corporations who will only post when things are done. They don't post rumors.

Beyond that, I'm over having my credibility questioned. I've tried to be fair and clear with everything I've shared. I'm done. If I get anything credible that I can confirm, I'll put it on Twitter. Thanks to those who have been cool and had my back, but I have better things to do than be questioned by internet tough guys who can't even type coherent sentences without filling them with words in all caps.

See ya on the flip side fellas.


Real quick, could you drop your Twitter handle or is it the same as your Username? I'll add you to my lofty list of follows (Simmons, Woj, and Dave Paulsen [FFB]).
You gotta make it sexy! Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eating.

BlackThatch wrote:Saying that rumors are false and thereby neither Griffin or Westbrook end up in C's jersey and he's so confident about it. I mean... Rumors are one thing, we're past rumors now. It's just whether you believe Smitty or not. Even if the rumors are 100% correct and there are talks and the deal is imminent, there's at least 50% chance the deal falls through. No deal is ever safe until it's done, so BannersOnly is really arguing two different points.


No. I'm not arguing anything. I'm flat out saying that NO TALKS are going on about Griffin to Boston other than normal chit chatter(at best) that happens with every GM around the league year round. The way people are reporting these "rumors" is that serious talks are happening and this deal can be a reality at any moment. Absolute utter bullsh*t. If they are confident that I'm wrong than I stand to look like a fool. And even if they are wrong they will simply act like it fell through at the last moment. How will I or you disprove it? That's why I think rumors are a joke. Want to impress me?????????? How about yoy report the deal as FINALIZED at least 5-10 minutes before it's officially announce. Then and only then will I believe people have "sources" tha are worth more than he deuce I'm about to drop in the toilet. Boom.......I said it.(and ya, that's my new saying and I'm loving it). :D

To be clear, Banners didn't question you he questioned your sources.

But I understand your frustration. I would take a day to think on it some but in many ways it seems more trouble than its worth to give us information.

I'll follow you on twitter, but maybe thrown us a bone occasionally if you feel like it ;) We're not all ungrateful ****.

Does anyone with a brain honestly think talks are going on right now between Doc's Clippers and Boston and Wojo is not getting any "info" from his boyfriend Doc? Give me a fn break. A lot of people spreading these rumors love the attention it brings. Boom.......I said it. Somebody has to......I'll step to the fn plate.

Talk to me on opening day when Griffin still ain't wearing Celtics across his chest. Putting all my fn chips to the center table. All in. Who wants to bet against me?

After reading this post, I think it would be very funny if the Blake to Boston thing happened and the news breaks in the next 5 minutes.


I ain't scared................I want a list of all NAMES who are going to talk sh*t right now who have a set of balls to go against me. Either pick a side or shut your mouth if it goes down. Talk is cheap. I'm all in that these rumors are BOGUS. I want names of people who think they aren't so I can laugh at them when it doesn't happen. Don't sit in the cut and then jump out like Tarzan if it goes down. Man up. Anyone can spread rumors.........people need to be called out when they don't come true. Sick of smoke getting blown up our asses. Boom........I said it.


The heck are you even talking about? The team is obviously trying to make big moves, as always. Like, really trying. They want to make a big move or two and are surely working very hard to try to make that happen.

I don't doubt that they have had pretty substantial discussions about Blake and/or Westbrook and a dozen other guys. Whatever comes of it remains to be seen, but going in on guys like Smitty who are just relaying what they have heard from numerous people around the league is nonsense. None of our board insiders have even said anything was imminent, either.

Congratulations, WadeItOut's of the world. Have you gained what you wanted - gotten rid of a very valuable poster here and thus ruined the fun of being here for many a forum member?

Has anything at all gotten better for those of you who had nothing better to say than "hah i don't believe these rumors, dude's full of crap"? I bet not, but it's gotten worse for those of us who enjoy any inside information at all.

Thank you for your very insightful posts, Smitty, hope you'll still bless us with some inside info on RealGM, too. FWIW, I (we) fully understand the pain in the ass that is dealing with that special breed of internet tough people. You're awesome!

Weak. If you are going to put it out then don't go taking your ball and go home when someone calls you out. You want to be a NBA reporter some day? Get some tough skin. All reporters gotta take heat if they are going to take the congrats.

Lmao. Someone who believes do a one month sig bet!


Ya, I'm down. I bet you nobody else is though. How about the 1st 5 guys man enough to go against me give me a 20 word sig that i will put on my posts if I'm wrong and if I'm right and no trade goes down in the next 30 days than they put "I was owned by BannersOnly on realgm because he's a STUD and I'm a ham and egger. He's my DADDY."

Let's go............1st 5 step up.


I don't believe he's coming but I'm taking that bet any day of the week my man! GO :-)

I didn't question Smitty. I said his "sources" are full of sh*t. His "sources" have no skin in the game.........they are anonymous. Smitty has skin in the game..........his name on twitter and realgm. I never called him out but, best believe, I am saying his "sources" are full of it and misleading him if they are telling him something is close or more than just normal trade jibber jabber.

Dude, first off the whole ban thing was facetious. 2nd, people can handle all kinds of stuff. But you have made your point and you continue to just repeat it. It's like Chinese Water Torture. I am pretty sure people know where you stand. And you may be right. But to continually badger posters with the same rhetoric gets old and quite annoying.

I have added you at Twitter!
