    I did, too. Make me credible?

    Bet bron didnt know months before. It was all how far they go in the season. You don't determine that until June.

    I'm 100% certain that Aldridge broke a couple of news this summer. In the first days of FA. I also think that he broke another story. But can't remember which of all lol He certainly has sources. But not like Woj.

    Anyway Woj didn't even bother to report most of the deals this summer. Only the most important.

    I can't recall Aldridge breaking any stories, but if he reports anything I consider it official. His sources are legit.

    This doesn't make sense at all for Durant. I'm sure that bryant would love to have someone carry his broken body for a few more seasons, and the same goes for anthony. This team couldn't stop anyone and would just fall apart in the playoffs. Durant would, in the process, become irrelevant unless they had other players who could carry the load. Anthony's body doesn't have many years left, and we all know that bryant is physically done.

    Kobe would never be a b**** like lebron and leave "his" team to go team stack for a championship. Kobe knows that would be a undeserved ending to his legacy

    Broussard is a joke. He get his information from other sources and he's wrong all the time. Stephen A. is actually cool with a lot of athletes on a personal level and a lot of the things he says are correct. Call him what you want, but because you don't like him personally doesn't mean he doesn't get information.... is he right about this? No clue...

    Funnily enough, Smith doesn't have a clue if he's right either. And I say this as a dear friend.

    Exactly my point. If that's what he says he heard I believe him doesn't mean he heard it from KD. His JOB isn't to report things first like broussards is. No one is watching first take for Stephen A. And his "insider info" he rarely talks about things he's heard. And lol @ "kd said he's lying". Right because no athlete has ever said that before

    Typical ESPN reporting. Star player considering leaving?

    He's considering: ESPN New York, ESPN Chicago, ESPN Los Angeles, ESPN Dallas, ESPN Miami, ESPN Boston.

    Noticed this too.

    How convenient all the teams KD is considering, plus his hometown DC of course, have major ESPN connection? Keep bring in those dollars, ESPN!

    Miami makes zero sense for me. Does KD really want to assume LBJ's spot? I don't see how that is appealing for KD's legacy.

    Can we stop with the idea that players want to play in New York/Los Angeles to get endorsements, etc? KD made the most money in endorsements this past year while playing in the "small market" if OKC. He is such a big star, he will get endorsements anywhere he goes. This is not the 90's anymore, people can fly for business meetings and make it back in hours.

    It's going to come down to 3 teams. OKC, Wizards and the Rockets, iny opinion. OKC and Wizards are leading the pack but Houston is a dark horse.

    LOL. So let's doubt the source itself (THE PLAYER) when he comes and says something than the so called journalist who "hears things".
    Hmm tough decision to figure out who is the liar here and who makes things up.

    Durant came out and publicly said that the sources are SAUCES because the only people who know anything about his plans are his family and friends and SAS hasn't spoken to them guaranteed.
    And then his response is to use some aggresive language, doubt the players' character and "what has become" claim that he always support him and tell good things about him...basically all excuses and attempts to take the attention ouf of all the FALSE INFO and MISINFORMATION he throw at all the naive poor souls who bear to listen to his rants.
    He is a clown.
