... without mentioning his name. This is fascinating because they would give their left nut to get him over there, but for those who don't know, it's a battle between those two. Woj hates ESPN and the ESPN reporters rarely if ever acknowledge him. I'm Team Woj http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id...oward-orlando-magic-changing-face-sports-news Here are the tweets mentioned in the article: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>After broader team meeting today, Dwight Howard had lunch with 3 teammates and told them he planned to opt-in for '12-13 season, source says</p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/180069783331536896">March 14, 2012</a></blockquote> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Howard called Magic CEO while sitting at table and informed him of intentions, source says.

Woj is the most dependable, to me. Everyone makes mistakes, or in this case gets misleading info, but I still believe if Woj tweets a rumor, it's most likely going to happen.
It's a little weird to quote someone at such length without identifying the person. Is this journalism?
does espn really want to start this? How many bull**** rumors have they started. Espn is actually worse cause they have some many "insiders" I dont think this is a war they want to fight.
Ken Berger, Chris Mannix, and Adrian Wojnarowski are the 3 biggest and best insiders for breaking NBA news.
Seems Woj just tweeted what happened. Dwight flip-flopped a few times. He never denied this happened.
I'm not a fan of Woj's writing, but purely in terms of dependable sources I don't think anyone who employs Bucher has room to criticize someone with a track record like A.W.
This, you can't report what isn't there. Dwight was never firmly one way or the other, Woj just let us know what he was hearing.
Whatta stupid article! Criticizing Woj for the flip floppidiness of the tweets - when it seems to me they were accurrate at most every instance... Dwight was the one being indecisive - dont shoot the messanger - or the insta messanger...
woj is just reporting info in a tweet. it is a pretty fleeting source, but we all know that is twitter. Espn however employs multi-analyst angles reporting conflicting information. I swear lebron was going to 18 different teams during the decision. all they do is speculate.
This coming from the company that has Chris Broussard, Steven A. Smith, AND Ric Bucher on their payroll??? Seriously, what a travashamockery. ESPN has started more BS rumors than any other source out there.....AND they use their hidden agendas to manipulate the sports scene more egregiously than anybody else.
ESPN is sounding like a news channel usually associated with a small, red, furry dog-like critter, often chased in England for sport. This channel shall remain nameless, but has a reputation for making things up and claiming that it's news, while never acknowledging that they did so. Shame on you, ESPN!
Broussard. No information. Reports speculation. Trotted out as an insider. He'll call a player or agent who'll turn to someone behind him: "It's that dip**** from ESPN again." ("Make something up, he'll report it.") Ric "The Teeth" Bucher. Makes stuff up. ESPN has no right to call out anyone on anything. And they're that much worse, because they help fuel the problems in the NBA by focusing only on high-ratings teams or current frontrunners.
Broussard has to be the worst. Every major reporter says NBA voids Lakers/Hornets/Rockets deal. Broussard's sources: The Lakers pulled out. You would think by random luck he would get something right, but misses on everything. ESPN does not have strong insiders in the NBA, but they refuse to recognize it.
Wow, I am not an ESPN hater by any means, but count me in TEAM WOJ as well. Dude is nails. best NBA Information guy BY FAR!! Woj is the NBA's version of Adam Schefter. That was a HUGE get for ESPN with Shefter from NFL Network. Woj would be the same if he was available. It's pretty impressive how good Woj and Spears are from Yahoo! considering they don't have a TV network platform to stump from.
