I enjoyed that. Pretty slick move by Stern/Silver.

I hate Woj. He went after KP and POR in such a vindictive manner that it was unprofessional. I want to see him trashed.

It's funny how prescient some of you on the forum are. You've been calling Woj's BS for years.

And now you know why. KP clearly wouldn't feed him news, so his track record shows that he lashes out and attacks the people that won't play ball. It's bush league and it's really a sort of extortion.

Haha, that's the first thing I thought of when I read how he treated people that cooperated compared to those that don't. NO must give him more than KP because he doesn't seem to hate him or the team as much as he used to.

Confession time, I'm his source for all of the Blazer stuff. HCP tells me things and then I pass them on to Woj.

Hatchet job on KP: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-trailblazers032210

Portland’s front office acted in bad form and bad faith. Yes, the Jail Blazers lived again.

Good lord.

You do realize that many in upper Blazers management HAVE NO FUCKING SENSE OF HUMOR WHATSOEVER?!

I'd hate for some moron at Blazers HQ to think you were serious.

Too late. HCP is already out on his well proportioned butt.

If you pay attention, you can draw the lines between Wojnarowski's stories and tweets to figure out how he reports. On July 2 at 10:31 p.m., Wojnarowski posted a piece about Los Angeles Clipper Jamal Crawford’s desire for a contract extension. It contains quotes from Crawford’s agent Andy Miller, blatantly attempting to negotiate for a new contract through the media. Less than 30 minutes later, Wojnarowski broke the news that Kyle Lowry—another Miller client—was going to re-sign with the Toronto Raptors. He even had time to get a quote from Lowry about re-signing, which almost never happens in the hyper-competitive breaking news world, where two minutes means the difference between first and irrelevant. Nine days later, after another Miller client signed a new contract, Wojnarowski tweeted “Great success story, great contract for agent Andy Miller.”

I wonder if more people dump him as their agent because of this.

 

[riverman]

I'd say they sniffed out his source by going through his laundry basket

I don't know why leaking info to reporters would have people firing him, but at the same time, I believe Isiah Thomas also just fired him recently.
