Sources: Why David Blatt was fired
- Thread starter Alexander The Great
- Start date
A week after “The Decision,” Wojnarowski wrote a 4,000 word ticktock assuredly describing how James came to choose Miami, a stunning act of hubris. His reporting on LeBron James was consistently sloppy and poorly sourced, yet Wojnarowski had the audacity to present his piece as the definitive account. With just two quotes from anonymous sources and a history of being wrong about James, it doesn’t deserve to be treated as reliable. NBA writer Ethan Sherwood Strauss summed it up well: “If all this was so telegraphed, then Wojnarowski missed multiple Morse memos. Now Adrian claims retroactive omniscience? My temples throb at the thought. Insiders should prove their status with a hefty helping of named sources. I give leeway to those with impeccable track records, but Adrian just whiffed on a big one.”
Four years later, Wojnarowski whiffed again. Last February he wrote a piecetitled “How Cleveland lost its way, and lost a chance at LeBron's return.” LeBron James returned to Cleveland five months later.
Those within the league think Wojnarowski’s criticism of LeBron stems from reporting failures. “I don’t know if LeBron’s whole camp or just LeBron shafted [Wojnarowski], but [Wojnarowski] was having trouble getting to him,” a former team employee he tried to cultivate as a source told me. Somebody else familiar with Wojnarowski and James’ relationship said, “Adrian does not talk to LeBron, or people in LeBron’s camp. He doesn’t do any reporting with LeBron James or his people.” (Both spoke on condition of anonymity, citing fears that Wojnarowski would harm their careers.)

Yo, they couldn't even come up with believable ish. A professional head coach with some years and accolades under his belt (doesn't matter the level) doesn't now who's in the game? They should've left that out if they wanted credibility.
Woj is still the most reliable source, I am not trusting anything about Bron coming from a Cleveland source. The Mark Jackson signing with lebrons agency and being the head coach for them seems pretty realistic.
DId you seriously just call Woj the most reliable soure on Lebron? Did you notice that there are no sources, not even anonymous sources, listed in that whole article? Woj has always shytted on Lebron. And he gets Lebron news wrong over and over. Neither Lebron nor anyone in his camp will leak stuff to him, so he maintains a massive personal grudge, as Woj does.

Why go from one rookie HC to another?

Everything. He's wrong all the time about LeBron and then goes and writes about how he knew this or knew that or it was obvious that he was going to do something in future columns. He's never even close to on target and it's where much of his LeBron hate stems from.
Everything has seemed fairly accurate. I think its obvious Lebron's biggest issue with Blatt was that he wasnt Clutch sports or whatever....money makes the world go round.

Blatt lost for not standing up to LeThot
