    Umm yeah he's different because he post correct information. When was the last time he was wrong. No idea why you feel the need to discredit woj when he's probably the best out there unless you're some SAS fan

    Because in terms of breaking news and accuracy he's unmatched in his profession. If you can't see the difference between him and someone like Chris Broussard then so be it.

    Why does Durant want to team up with a borderline loser like Melo and a 40 year old Kobe who has to prove himself over again?

    I hear ya. Would be VERY surprised if KD really wanted to do this. I'm sure SAS is correct that the three of these guys may have discussed this, but if KD has aspirations of winning a title he'd be foolish to do it NY with Melo and Kobe.

    Yep and they would have to play one of those out of position. That is the least thing to worry about

    Sharing the basketball effectively with Bryant and Anthony. Is that even possible? KD as point forward?

    SG KB
    SF Durant
    PF Melo

    I would not even do it if Curry, Harden and Anthony Davis (top young player) declined to pair up with Durant

    Melo is the most overrated player of this generation. SAS is the most overrated POS journalist of this generation.

    The only show worth watching on that network is the one with Bomani Jones...and that's mostly because the old guy says crazy stuff and it's funny to watch the reaction on Bomani's face after he says it.

    Gents, SAS has been correct in the past. My reaction of disbelief to this is identical to when he said LeBron/Wade/Bosh would play together in Miami. So don't rule it out completely. I say this as someone who dislikes this clown as much as anyone else.

    But there is one huge difference:
    The Miami news was fresh and about to happen. He scooped everyone. The problem here is I don't believe for one minute KD has decided on the Knicks before the season has even started. Because the money difference will be magnified, leaving OKC will cost him too much. If he does leave, it will be to a winning franchise.

    I also think this is Kobe's last season in the NBA.

    FIFY.

    Woj is different. If you don't realize that then it's your problem. Last season by itself put him on another level from everyone else.

    SAS and Chris Broussard are probably the 2 worst reporters covering the NBA. Kobe pretty much said he ain't leaving LA.

    Durant has kept a complete wrap on any information. Any of these "leaks" are just speculative nonsense.

    Now I think I get it. You think the entire board and basically the entire NBA fan base as a whole is racist.

    Same here.

    Although I can't see Durant being that stupid to team up with end of leg Kobe and clown Melo, so SAS is just spitting out nonsense once again.

    That will be awesome. Love seeing trainwrecks on glamor teams. I can't think of worse dissynergies than what you'd get combining those 3.

    Im not a fan of any "reporter". But to his credit, Broussard was the 1st to report Lebron going back to Cleveland in which you guys said he was crazy. When it became reality he got absolutely no credit. So I just think theres too much favoritism played by a few here. One guy can absolutely do no wrong, while the other can never do anything right. I guess

    If this would happen, it would not happen in NY, that's for sure. I mean, Kobe is not leaving L.A., it's that simple. Phil Jackson is not going to be a difference maker I believe. They do not complement each other at all, it would be the worst big three in the history of the game. 3 wing men who need the ball in their hands to be dominant, want the ball in their hands and all are SG / SFs with no exceptional handle.

    It's funny when people say Stephen A. Isn't
    a source when he's friends with a lot of these guys. Who reported Lebron to Cleveland months before it happened?
