Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly wants to stay in East

[Roy H.]

Windhorst is saying his focus is Miami and they are the frontrunners going into this week. Feels odd there's mixed reporting from even the reputable reporters around the league (Stein, Windhorst, Fischer, Amick, etc.). Would love to hear from Himmelsbach or some reliable Celtics reporters soon.

What makes them reputable?  When is the last time any of them broke anything?

The only reliable reported is Shams in my opinion.  When he says something happened, it most likely did.  The rest of the guys are just paid promoters to attract clicks and eye balls.

I think the second best guy out there may be Chris Haynes, who is fairly reliable when he reports something as fact.

The Bucks are not ?thrilled? about having to extend Tyler Herro, per @EthanJSkolnick

?I have heard the same thing you guys have, that they?re not thrilled about extending him. I think the Heat have basically been commissioned to try to find another team? I think you have to look at the teams the Heat have dealt with recently?. I would watch Detroit. They always deal with Memphis. I would watch that one?. And I would watch Brooklyn?

What is Herro's projected extension? Because yeah I really would not want to extend him either, especially since it's likely in the 45M+ range like Reaves and others I assume 

I don't even consider Herro a Top-50 player in the NBA currently

Yeah, that contract would scare me. He will be unrestricted too. Hard to play hard ball with him.

I would be happy to pay him around $30-35mil. I wouldn't want to go above that. He is not worth $40+mil.

Lots of chatter about a 3-team deal being finalised for Giannis, with Jaylen ending up either with the Clippers or in Atlanta.

It's because all of them are speculating. None of them have a clue what's really going on but as talking heads they have to try and say something. The only person I trust with breaking news is Shams, and only when he phrases it as actual reporting, as opposed to providing his opinion (which he does on Inside the NBA if he is asked).

When they phrase things like "I heard that" or "my source thinks" or "a league executive mentioned" or something like that I know they're guessing like the rest of us
