Can I ask you why you turned away from sports radio? Just curious.

sensationalism, ads that you can't skip through, shock jocks, idiots making phone calls, non-news being blown up as major breaking news, etc etc

why deal with this when you can simply download podcasts from people who actually know stuff?

Why would Abbott make it up? Or do you think his source is making it up? Most people say he's pretty legit and doesn't post much breaking news.

For clicks, man, clicks. ESPN just let Abbott's outlet go a couple of years ago. Abbott's out on his own now. for the first time in 15 years.

His website had a pretty good reputation when ESPN bought it, and a lot of good reporters came to prominence there. I can't speak for Abbott's track record breaking news himself, though. He's pretty much a digital marketer, IIRC. And, you've got to admit, running with something like this definitely took traffic to his Twitter and probably TrueHoops page. It's not like he didn't have something to gain by running with something like this regardless of the credibility of the source. If it doesn't play out, he can say either the source was misinformed, or the Blazers changed Dame's mind, or he can just move on to the next story because most people who jumped on his coverage won't immediately jump off.

Could be a bit of both. Abbott says he has a source. Is it a good source? No one knows. A source literally could be someone saying they heard something from someone who heard something.

A source could be a Jeannie Buss or Mark Cuban ...smart manipulators doing what they do

I'm sure Olshey brought up the valet parking before they got down to the nitty-gritty trust stuff.
