One hour before you posted that tidbit about Tilman saying he was "personally working on the trade", cyberx confirmed that the likely reason Berman went public with a rare, sourced tweet was because ... That jives with your quote from Tilman, in the OP.
Condemnation before investigation is the height of ignorance. If someone claims to have information and shares it, many are quick castigate them before even researching or testing out their claims. If they don't like what they hear, they go straight to attacking and ridicule, like you said @megastahr. And just because something doesn't come into fruition, it doesn't mean the insider is wrong. Trades and free agent signings are fluid. Things can change in a New York minute. It's just the way it goes. For example, if Jimmy Butler doesn't get traded to the Rockets, does that mean Brandon Scoop B Robinson (or even Cyberx) was wrong? No, he may as well have a credible source. But anything can happen in this business. PG13 was set for signing with the Lakers for almost a year. Then things changed. The Lakers were on the hunt for the biggest fishes and pivoted their attention to Kawhi on a dime. Things change. I just don't see the point of potentially driving someone away who may provide some valuable information. Condemnation before investigation...
Preach. It's like when @Codman shares what he's heard he has to put a disclaimer in the post about how it might or might not come true just so that he doesn't get atttacked when things don't work out the way he heard. Like really?? Are some of you really that bent out of shape when an insider reports something and it doesn't come true? I'd hate to see how you handled the news when your parents told you Santa Claus doesn't exist. We shouldn't take our insiders for granted and we should give most posters benefit of the doubt before we burn them at the stake with absolute condemnation as you said @Maverick Floor .
Tillman later that night on the phone with Taylor. “ He wants what now, 180 million...? Oh... People just aren’t eating at Landry’s enough for all that. Houston’s out. “
Did I miss the name of the bar?? Outfits don't foot to the interior bar decor. A gentleman club where you can dress super casual?? Count me in!
WAIT A GOT DAMN MINUTE! @megastahr mentioned Tilman was talking to a hot blonde. Where is the hot blond? There needs to be an investigation. delay!
Nice! I'm confident that it gets done. Gordon is the best player currently being offered (of the rumored teams involved) Also, my girlfriend wants to know if you're single, OP.
