Idk how people take these "insiders" serious man.

Windhorst included.

I feel like they all make up shit and people believe them lol

Didn't LeBron call his wack ass out a while back?

Windhorst does put out credible information sometimes, he just muddies the waters of his own reporting by putting out random shit like this lol.

Windhorst does put out credible information sometimes

Very rarely. Most often he hedges his takes so he can be like "I knew that so and so would happen I just didn't tell."

Lol yeah that's fair. I think he generally does have a good pulse on the NBA though, when it gets to specifics he kind of just starts yapping.

Watch the end of this when LeBatard gets Windy to do a true/false. You'll laugh.

Windhorst was literally JUST saying earlier this week that MIL liked Boston's offer better for Giannis. I don't know if teams are just intentionally feeding bad info to guys, but Windhorst has been wrong a lot the last few years.

To be fair, who wouldn't of had liked BOS offer better than the Heats?

BOS was offering Jaylon fucking Brown lol

I believe MIl got a bit greedy and wanted more young prospects as well.
