David Griffin was on the radio today and said that they are more interested in the "caliber of human over a skillset".

Kind of confirms what we all knew. They won't necessarily be in play for any relatively major FAs and are instead looking for "culture" guys.

That's why Horford seemed like a good fit but don't think that happens.

Woj forgot more about the league than you’ll ever know.

Do you not understand that Woj is an insider, not an analyst, and what Pincus tweeted is the elaborate things the Lakers need to do to get to that point, while Woj simply reports on what "is"...right?

Good talk.

I have tried to stay away from this topic cause ultimately its disappointing that this kind of shite is now even bleeding into sports coverage and consumption

However, I think you are very naive if you actually think

this is truly all woj does when it comes to the stuff he releases

He reports what he is told by others, and is right on the Lakers cap situation...and so is Eric Pincus.

Maybe think about how that's possible for a second.

Every human being has biases but the "Woj is biased against the Lakers" hot take being run by LAL fans is delusional.

Woj, 100%, gives positive news coverage to teams who give him news and, 100%, gives negative coverage to teams who don't

He is absolutely the gold standard when it comes to reporting stuff like transactions and on figuring out what players are thinking when it comes to free agency and trades and the like. I view everything else he does as next to worthless

Terrific reporter, he just has no business being a columnist which ESPN has been forcing him inti

This makes sense, if he paints teams in a positive light, they are more likely to continue giving him inside info.

What would he gain from giving negative coverage to teams that don't leak to him? Unless he's getting information from a competing team that he "likes". He isn't going to just make up incorrect information about your beloved team

Well, the Rockets are looking to trade Capela for a draft pick to flip to Philly.

New Orleans might make some sense. Young player on a good contract at a position of need.

Y'all can have a second for PJ. I'll take him back.

Then we can dump some future pick to get off JJ.

I dont think he ever intentionally makes up information. If he says the lakers are not legitimate players for kawhi, I believe him.

He absolutely totally does spin stuff however

it's the petty way media attempt to make you open up to them. the idea being, if you release enough negatively into the public, certainly the team will want to clear thier name.

he's been anti LeBron way before lake show though.
