no, you can't put out lebron to cleveland, the biggest FA of the decade and then get it wrong and continue on like its ok. This is career defining shyt. he's been the only guy to say cleveland, it better go right for him

yes you can, especially when you've been in the business for a good amount of time like him....if he's right, he'll become the go to guy for breaking news...if he's wrong, he wont, but he'll still get his views/follows/etc...either way, he doesn't really lose...this is low risk, high reward....

as for saying Cleveland, he wasn't the only one, he wasn't even first...sas said cle had a shot last year...and chris broussard said he had a feeling it was cle before this dude did...only difference: they stated theirs as opinions, not facts like this dude...

It's sad that national sports media has gotten to this point where you literally never see rumors -- even substantiated facts -- tied to a person's name. Source this, source that. GO BACK TO J-SCHOOL OR A HOMETOWN PAPER AND RE-LEARN HOW TO CULTIVATE THESE SOURCES TO TELL YOU SHYT WITHOUT BEING OFF-THE-RECORD OR ON BACKGROUND.
No journalists reveals their source if they don't want to be known.

From 2010:

An NBA executive says the Chicago Bulls have emerged as a favorite in the free agency sweepstakes for LeBron James, along with Chris Bosh, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

The executive said he had gleaned from his discussions with other league executives that James is leaning toward joining the Bulls, along with Bosh, his teammate on the United States' gold medal-winning 2008 Olympic team. The Times reported the executive did not want to be named because he was discussing a player who was not yet a free agent.

"I think it's a done deal," the executive said, according to the report.

Broussard has missed too many times for me to truly believe him. He's right a lot, sure -- but he's made some big mistakes in trusting the wrong sources.

They've got a pretty good stable of writers -- but yeah, that's not my homepage for sports news. I still fukks with their fantasy setup tho.

Yahoo! probably outchea thinking " :hamster: we can't lose Woj, pay him whatever he wants."
Woj going to take his talents to South Beach (Harbour) in San Francisco to play for Google Droidgang? :wow:

Don't care for LeBron but those Cleveland fans don't deserve him. Burning jerseys and all of the over the top shenanigans. Dan Gilbert is a moron, too. But if that's where he wants to go, :manny:

AGREED

This shyt is so PATHETIC on the medias end.

Back in the day journalist had to actually FACT CHECK ad be held accountable.
