Yeah, that's silly. I'm pretty sure this story started with Kushner being lead to believe that Demps would have a presser this past week and then he didn't. When it didn't happen he tweeted that out which begs the question "What does that mean?". Who did he reach out to to figure it out? If he was able to get Loomis or Lauscha then it's probably a solid story. Demps or anyone that works for him, that's not really any different than what tzimme4 has been posting here.

Does being the official newspaper of the team get you access to Loomis in the middle of the draft for things they probably don't want to talk about publicly? Why was a decision on Monty made 2-3 weeks after the draft yet a decision on Demps has already been made before the draft? Why was there a Dumars camp leak if a decision on Demps staying had already been made, that would seem to only harm his future prospects with the team. Even if Demps is staying this year there's always next year or 2 years from now for Joe.

The only thing I can think of that would render my questions pointless is if Demps' extension was big/long enough to make him as hard to fire now as Gentry. But since BSS is the one that's told us about the extension in the first place, it seems like if that was the reason, they would point to that extension, a piece of news that they broke with sources, and say "you know that extension we told you about? That's why Demps is staying." But instead we get "trust us Demps is staying." and then "How dare you question us you ungrateful wretches." when I think I've pointed out some legitimate questions that need answers or at least more explanation that "trust us." We haven't even gotten a "those are valid questions, we thought of them too and still believe our info." it's just childish lashing out about the fact that we don't trust them blindly.

It's all very ironic for the BSS/TBW angry bloggers. McNamara has turned himself into the Jimmy Smiths/"traditional media" of the world with this type of nonsense and taking himself so very seriously.
