Connecting the dots

Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports Jun 24, 2010​

Portland has bordered on tampering with Paul for two years now, and it’s never been much of a secret within the Hornets’ organization that the Blazers have gone to great lengths to make Paul aware of how badly they want him. It didn’t go unnoticed when Blazers president Larry Miller – a former Nike executive who had dealings with Paul – cozied up to the Hornets star on New Orleans’ trips to the Rose Garden. It is what it is, but most agree the Blazers have been merciless in trying to get into Paul’s ear – and those around him – to convince him to create a stir and force his way out.

Woj is basically the Kitty Kelley of the NBA at this point. Rumors, jilted exes, anonymous sources, and flat-out fabrications are the "substance" of his articles.

He got Pritchard fired, yet he still has a boner for Portland, and he'll report/invent anything negative toward the Blazers.

He's a Douchebag Deluxe.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Of course, this hinges on whether you believe Woj or not.

 

[EGame]

I feel like LeDouche and crew have done more to create this then us.

 

[ironcrotch]

connect the dots from that this didnt start until he signed with LRMR

also i'm not sure why no one thinks there is a conflict of interest there

 

[RR7]

I don't think he signed with LRMR yet.

I don't see how Woj got KP fired. That's just stupid.

As for him, I think he's a douche, but he has his sources, and he's got better sources than most. Now, whether they have an agenda or not...?

Either way, a month ago, Woj talked about getting in his ear to try to force his way out of N.O. Here we are, a month later, and rumors are flying all around about him, and he's meeting with his GM and new coach, presumably to ask for a trade. If he has no sources, it's creepy how good he is at making shit up that comes true later on.

Exactly. Why do some people seem to forget that?

Its not that he makes shit up and it comes true later, its the way he makes shit up.He grabs whatever is floating around his head and then attacks people with it, its the same thing canzano does but his is just more true. If Wade/Bosh/Lebron weren't tampering with all of them ending up in Miami then if we get Paul we didn't' tamper either.

Or maybe he doesn't make shit up at all and people just don't like him because he reports negative stuff that can be unpleasant to hear.

If he can REALLY just make stuff up based on what's floating around in his head and then force reality to conform with his creations... then the man is a genius and he should be working on more important things in the world.

I predict it will rain in Portland sometime between now and Sept 1....and it will all be Mayor Adam's fault.

The first part may be correct, but that doesn't make the second part any less pig manure.

He reported that KP was disliked, right? People here took it as sour grapes and/or delusion, which was not an unreasonable stance, given what we knew about KP and how secure he seemed in his job. Now Pritchard's been fired and no one really knows why, but it's a surprise to me that so many people ignore that evidence in a mad rush to continue to bash Wojo is beyond me.

Woj is the current king. Eveyone needs to read his twitters and get onto his bandwagon. I do because he's the best.

 

[Rhal]

Woj seems to be on a hot streak at the moment, dunno if thats because he is guessing right or he really has some very reliable sources, but like I said before he stirs shit up. He doesn't just report that people dislike someone, he will then put his own personality into it and attempt to rip that person a new one. It is vindictive reporting because thats what gets the most views/ratings. Not taking anything away with what he reports, just how he reports it.

 

[jlprk]

He is just very, very skilled at guessing. Give him two dots and he will find a line, come hell or high water. The guy is a master with a ruler.

I agree with this. He very astute and seems to keep away from the type of rumors one might here on a board like this. His guesses don't always pan out, but his track record is pretty darn good.

I never thought I'd say this, but well said and repped.

I don't agree he got Pritchard fired but he sure as hell hates Portland, perhaps a bit less now that KP is gone.

Wait, what?

It is just like Canzano, expect unlike Canzano his sources are more solid and his bullshit detector is more sensitive and he isn't constantly misunderstanding logic and reason or making shit up out of whole cloth. Yeah, they are just alike.

At the moment? Do moments last for years?

Canzano is worthless across the board, I just tire of Woj's axe to grind with Portland. I reckon if it were made physical it would look something like this:
