    He didn't tweet it, post it on ESPN.COM, say it on the radio (he's not on the waves right now) or say it on ESPN (he's not on the air) and ESPN, his employer, is not reporting it on any of their avenues despite being willing to put any rumor out there if it is from anyone at all and claim credit.

    He didn't say it.

    This rumor is total BS, but I don't necessarily agree that news would travel that fast. Stephen A has unique sources within the league, and he could conceivably get news much sooner than everyone else. He's cool with a lot of players. I think he had LeBron/Bosh to miami days before anyone else.

    The Rockets, however, are not at all close to any deal so far, a person with familiarity with talks said, adding that this season’s trade deadline talks are at this point shaping up very much like last season when the Rockets came away with only a minor move, dealing Aaron Brooks to Denver for Jordan Hamilton.

    Dragic had told the Suns he would not be signing with them after he opts out of the final season of his contract. He provided a list of teams, including the Lakers, Heat and Knicks, that he would consider and would likely then be more willing to work with the Suns on a trade this week.

    The Rockets were not on that list, but had not backed away from talks with the Suns, according to a person with knowledge of the process.

    Oklahoma City guard Reggie Jackson, who like Dragic will be a free agent after the season and has seen his role diminished by acquisitions at his position, also could be available, but Oklahoma City’s asking price has been extremely high less than a day before the deadline.

    I've gotten to the point where if I see Naomi Watts on the poster I know I'll be disappointed by the movie.

    I can see Ainge being scared off by a reluctance to play in Boston, but can't see Morey being intimidated by him not wanting to be traded to Houston.

    If we get another Jordan Hamilton, I'm going to pull my hair out. If we can't get someone good, there's no point in making a deal.

    More posturing, this time on the Rockets side via the Feigen article. Morey probably has a set price he would be willing to pay for a UFA Dragic and isn't budging.

    Suns might take this until early afternoon on Thursday.

    Saying that Morey has a plan up his sleeve and is using misdirection are huge assumptions to make when every source has been saying the Rockets aren't close to getting Dragic.

    So...I'm not one of those fans that jumps down insiders throat at every prediction (can't stand people who do) but how on earth is this King Drew guy still posting? Flat out full of sh#t troll. Hope you are reading clutch.
