    never understood why people question or dislike cyberx.

    like, if you dont trust him as a source, just ignore it? why care if others like his updates?

    Please provide links to these hoopshype rumors regarding Lawson, so we can decide for ourselves. For all we know, you are helping them hype their site.

    The national team is a short term commitment. We all know that Harden can play hard in short stretches. The question is, can he commit to do it long term consistently?

    Cyber is legit.

    Some hoopshype writers probably have similar sources.

    If we threw in Jones, would the Bucks give up a pick for that?

    I sincerely doubt we're going to pay him the big bucks this offseason.

    what's your definition of hardly?

    When youre leaking info like this, you'll rarely ever be proven right or wrong. Most of the stuff doesn't develop enough to be reported, so how can you say he was wrong about everything that wasn't confirmed by another source? you just dont know.

    What i do know, is he's beaten out the national media enough times for me to believe he's on the inside of things, somewhere.

    And yes, Clutch has met him and vouched for him.

    You really should link to the original source, since it wasn't hoopshype.

    but that's beside the point. If you read Steve Kyler's article (a day before cybrex's post), it says "sources close to the Lawson situation say a deal to Milwaukee is highly unlikely at this point."

    cybrex is pretty much saying the exact opposite
    , that they are indeed looking at him. That makes it unique vs Kyler's sources, if he indeed as any sources. Maybe Kyler was repeating from other news he found on the internet. Regardless, they are reporting nearly opposite things.

    This kind of stuff doesn't give me much hope for Thibs or any legit coach, really:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Based on everything I've gathered Rockets players and coaches not happy with Hack A Shaq. Front office suggested it &amp; it didn't work.</p>&mdash; Calvin Watkins (@calvinwatkins) <a href="https://twitter.com/calvinwatkins/status/690308350983024640">January 21, 2016</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    What kind of legitimate/established coach is going to take these kinds of marching orders from Morey?

    i went to hoopshype and saw that steve kyler is there. That's enough to disqualify the whole site as a hack site full of crap.
    Cyber on the other hand has a history of being credible.

    It's ridiculous to think that he all of a sudden because he basically confirms the blind squirel that is Kyler , is fishing for attention.:rolleyes:
    Even worse that would make this even more credible info than it really is. (worse because I hope it doesn't happen).

    No. Would be interested in adding him though in the deal.
    Not gonna add a first rounder that will be in the lottery.

    Isn't Draftboy the poster who ran down his resume in another thread in an effort to assert himself as Smarter Than the Average Clutchfan? If so, it's not surprising that CyberX/people respecting CyberX would rub him the wrong way.

    Everyone knows hoopshype doesn't source their own info.

    They are an aggregate.

    Cyber is throwing stuff at the wall, anything be can to see what will stick.

    FWIW, Morey said JB has the final say....

    And it worked...maybe people should be upset that it looks bad, but in basketball context, the hacking did it's job. Rockets just didn't take advantage of it. Players don't like it because they are proud and think they can play good defense instead, but it turned out they couldn't last night.

    I'm keeping it real.

    He needs to live and learn. He has to relinquish control.

    oh ok then they are a dumpster full of crap all over the net without any control. Not even worth spending time to read all the fakes.
