You're responding to a guy who followed me around all last season and replied :CRAZY: emojis to anything negative I said about the team.
He's not someone to take seriously.

He said, maybe Ben plays an away pre season game but thats it. 2 weeks or less, Ben is gone, he said.

Agreed
76ers going from the #1 seed to struggling to avoid the Playin.
It's painful to watch....We have become a laughing stock

Spike doesn’t know **** lol

Windhorst takes himself too seriously.

He absolutely would. But he's not a reporter and doesn't have to manage relationships with people in the league like Windhorst does. His brand is also irreverent trolling.Windhorst takes himself too seriously.
Probably. But I think his annoyance is valid.

Windhorst balances his roles better.

Side note on that:
Spike and Mike **** on Windhorst all the time (who I think does a good job) for worrying about aggregation when he says something on a podcast. I think this is ridiculous because Windhorst has two roles: reporter and podcast host. In his role as podcast host, he's not reporting anything, he's just talking about how he feels on a topic based on the knowledge he has. We can easily figure out whether he is officially reporting something or just speculating by listening to the context. So he has good reason to be pissed about twitter accounts misrepresenting what he says on a podcast by implying that he said it in his role as reporter. If Spike were someone that anyone has ever heard of, TheNBACentral would have put up a tweet this morning that said:"Ben Simmons will be traded within 2 weeks" - Spike Eskin (eyes emoji)
Which is exactly the kind of bull Windhorst complains about. Spike wasn't reporting anything, he was just speculating based on what he knows (which is less than Windhorst, but probably more than anyone on this board) for the purposes of a podcast. It's just dudes talking. There are things we can take from the conversations, but they shouldn't be taken as news.
