I see a ton of people connecting Minnesota/Russell and I’m really failing to see how it’s realistic. Moving off Wiggins is a pipe dream.If they moved off Covington/Teague is that enough space? Even then is it worth it, Covington is good on an excellent deal

correct, but it does appear he spins the narrative positively for the teams he has more access too.

the clippers stuff is pretty interesting to me, especially when none of this positivity existed last yr with their connection to KL and free agency.

What don’t you understand about how his job works? He has sources. Those sources are agents, team executives, coaches, and players.

He reports what those people are telling him, if two of them are in particular.

That’s it.

I understand that. I’m not hating on him for it. Report what you hear. That’s fine with me.

I just don’t understand why people take the rumor tweets as gold. Yes he’s connected. Yes he hears a lot of juicy stuff. But a large portion of the rumors he reports don’t end up being true. That’s how rumors work.

We get it. You Lakers fans have a persecution complex and are obsessed with Woj. It’s been discussed for 77 pages.

Can we just agree that you guys have a problem with him and just move on and discuss FA?

There was talk of Kawhi to the Clippers last year too. Then the Spurs said frick you and sent him to the Raptors.

Wherever Kawhi goes, I believe Danny Green will follow. They compliment each other well.

And the low IQ lakertards in here don’t even know what the term Woj Bomb means or what it refers to.

A Woj Bomb is used when a trade or signing actually happens, particularly if it is surprising or out of the blue. Him saying that a player is interested in this team or that team isn’t a WB nor is him saying a team would like to talk to/sign this player a WB.

Woj Bombs examples:

The Hornets are going to do a sign and trade of Kemba Walker and send him to the Knicks for RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson and whatever players to make the cap work.

Kawhi is signing a 5 year deal with the Kings.

Not Woj Bombs:

Al Horford will meet with the Pelicans and Mavericks.

The Nets have an interest in signing Kevin Durant.

Great spin. Nothing he said in his original tweet said it was inevitable, and he reiterated "of course you have the discussion".

Which you do.
