Marc Stein is one of 2 reporters who break trades/signings. Woj being the other. He has lots of credibility.
No, he would not. The media injects a lot of the uncertainty in this situation. You assume Dwight would be saying the same things the media does, but that's unlikely. He can post something saying don't expect a decision the next 4 days, for sure. In 4 days he can update that. And so on. As long as he's consistent, people will learn to ignore everyone else and just wait for his update,
I wouldn't automatically discount this. Celebs have back ways in and out of airports to minimize exposure. They don't have to go through the same channels as the rest of us, and I know from personal experience that Houston airport officials will work with an organization like Rockets to keep things as quiet as possible.
Matt Jackson is a local sports media guy in Houston. I'm surprised the likes of Stein does not quote or retweet what Jackson just said. Matt Jackson is as credible a source as the other twitter dumbs he's been sourcing for the GS stories.
I believe GSW will deal Jefferson and Biedrens regardless of whether Dwight comes or not. It makes too much sense. But they won't trade Bogut unless they are SURE Dwight isn't headed their way.

Lets post everyone while we're at it: Stein -meh, he sucks Nuno - i think he was the one who said howard will ink with mavs Any pretty woman - they are only e-famous cause they beautiful Palmer -he was confident and claimed to have sources who said he was staying in la Alex kennedy -never credible to begin with, just regurgitates tweets from credible insinders Any random real estate agent, or barber, etc. these guys should never be taken seriously. Woj is the only one i one i believe, even more than howard Feel free to add to the list.
Will they just go away? Dwight would have been having his press conference right now but these MFers won't just go the **** away.
