I mean, he's reported things that have actually happened before anyone else. He was the first to break a few workouts (which is a bigger deal here because Hinkie keeps them so private, as we witnessed with The Great PCOM Fiasco) and some of the 10-day parade types last year. I think he definitely has a source. (I don't know, I've never asked him.) The question is how accurate his source is, and how plugged in his source is to important matters rather than just day-to-day minutia, which I think is a very fair criticism.

OK - I don't remember him breaking anything but that certainly doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I'll keep my eyes open and give him credit and renounce my skepticism, but not on this one. This one's too much of a layup.

It it goes down, that should confirm mcgraw as the source

More rumblings that deal is growing so that Rockets can match Parsons and sign Bosh. Might now be adding Terrence Jones to the deal, which would be a coup for us.

FWIW Steven A Smith just said he's heard Lebron to Cleveland and Melo to NY

I'm probably drunk on Purell fumes or something but if we get Terrence Jones and Jeremy Lin we have enough talent to make the playoffs.
