No he's not. 42 is saying that's where the Oden to NOLA rumor started.

Pretty sure 42 and Gerry V reported the Oden thing around the same time without knowing that the other was reporting it. 42 recently posted that Gerry V reported the rumor before he did and that Gerry deserved the credit. I have to assume that they got the info from the same source.

The problem is that 42 is trying to have it both ways. He originally tweeted that Oden is coming here, then quickly backtracks saying he doesn't know.

How can you give props to someone who is wishy-washy?

The only thing that makes any kind of sense is he's saying "cite me as the source". If that's the case is 42 back to believing the original rumor?

42/Jason is very reliable. Moreover, unlike other journalists (he's a rocket scientist so I dunno if he wants to be called a journalist) he makes it clear when he's passing info that might come from a biased source.

Gerry V is very, very credible. No simple beat writer. He may be wrong, but it wont be his fault. He's not lying just to get followers on twitter
Yeah, but if above post is correct, Gerry V is "hearing rumors" from 42. If so, seems like that rumor is irrelevant now.

That's what I'm saying. 42 is telling Gerry V that (42) came up with this info first and he deserves credit for it.

Everyone have their Oden jerseys ready to burn if he breaks our heart in 'The Decision?'

GV said that's the word floating around the league. I doubt he would use that verbiage if 42 was his source, but then again, who knows at this point... All we can do is sit around and wait for confirmation.

One small downside if Oden does pick us will be 42 coming to the boards and swinging his proverbial dick around for the forseeable future.

They do this for every big story.

Oden signs: great reporting job!!!

Oden goes elsewhere: we acknowledged the source wasn't solid!

Then you'll get the quote, "Fans crave info, so we give them everything we hear! Then they get mad when we are wrong! WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT!?!!"

One major upside to Oden coming here is that 42's dick is going to smack you right in the cheek and leave a massive bruise.

Where do you see him saying that it's floating around THE LEAGUE? The verbiage makes sense if he got this from 42. Local intel.

But as 42 would be quick to tell you (as he has done so on many occasions), he's not like those other journalists.

On his Twitter. I can't like from my work computer but he said "Oden to the Pelicans? thats the word thats floating around the league.... ah ha!!"

ETA: That was also 4 hours ago.

FWIW, I took 42's response as GV was the reference of the rumor, and that GV should get respect (credit) for it.

Why someone like 42 even tries to appease you people is beyond me. All you do is whine and complain. Do you really think he's got some ulterior motive by spreading a bullcrap rumor? Are you that paranoid?
