I listened to the podcast and I think this is the NBA version of idle gossip. That or people were making up stories to talk about since the finals have been much less interesting than expected.
Well definitely with respect to Simmons. He is pretty much the gossip source for NBA. I guess the fact that Woj apparently said it perked up my ears a little bit. I also don't know if Jalen is more of a straight shooter with player contacts or just going for ratings.
Keep in mind that Woj hates Lebron. A comment like that seems more like him taking a shot at Lebron than a real rumor
I don't really get why Lebron playing out west is a shot at Lebron? He already has left Cleveland once and come back. So it is not like this is a Kobe or Dirk thing where they have been there 15 years without leaving. He also has already won them a title there and broke all the curses. So what is the difference? He is also getting to the age where people move around a lot.
I don't think it broke Bulls fans hearts when as an old timer Jordan played for the Wizards.
I don't think we cared as celtics fans when Pierce played for the Clippers or wizards once he had already played for the Nets
I don't even think fans cared when Wade left the Heat as he aged. (I mean they did some, but not a ton).
