Would like to make a list with your help of each teams beat writer. I recently started following Darnell Mayberry on twitter. Who is the OKC beat writer and have found he adds a lot to the pre game, in game experience, coverage during timeouts and post game. Some of the ones I know about. Brian. K. Schmitz (Magic) Howard Beck (Knicks) K.C Johnson (Bulls) The three above also had a lot of insightful information about the Dwightmare and Lin and Asik free agency.
There are so many of them. Multiple per team usually. Sorta depends on what kinda of info or insight you are looking for. The actual beat writer often have better info as they travel with the team, but worse insight than some team "bloggers". The ones you listed are a good start.
