Woj and Shams battled publicly over the Lakers head coaching search. It exposed how petty reporting on basketball can actually get.

The offseason in getting pretty stale. They'll probably have to start the National Reporters Association. Bunch of reporters competing to be the slimiest, corrupt gossip queens. That league will have the worst fans as well as "reporters" like this cheese dick covering it.

@TuNnL 18 күн бұрын

@@ZoraDelaneyI usually praise Casey for reports like this, but Casey didn't investigate the idea that just maybe, Shams Charania was actually helping Klutch Sports to pressure the L.A. Lakers to hire J.J. Redick. This video is heavily influenced by both the "Heat Check" exposé on Adrian Wojranowski and Casey's follow-up (featuring ESPN's Brian Windhorst) to that report several months ago. Obviously, Woj looks bad because he got burned in the past, but it's important to look at the facts objectively. The Lakers are NOT going to let specific contract offer dollar amounts leak to the press, unless they cannot dispute it. An offer is an offer, and if an offer was made to Dan Hurley, regardless if they low-balled him, it technically still means J.J. had not been hired yet. 🕵🏻‍♂️

And with the facts presented in this vid it’s clear shams original tweet was accurate and beat woj to the punch.

As a journalism grad (though many years ago, and later working in publishing for 23 years, but where like many, you still write on the side and follow intriguing stories), this is the 2nd such, more than interesting, and rather revealing, story you have had about Woj. The other was on his ties / connections and their influence on his reporting. On this story, once again, the comments below are quite good: "Mean Girls: Reporters" and "both clowns". Also, while I am in Montreal, Canada, where basketball takes a back seat to NHL hockey and NFL football (Expos are no longer here, or baseball would be on this list as well), when talking sports with one of the buddies, your subject matter in so many of your videos is often my "lead sports story".

Dan was already set on resigning with UConn. Woj is a friend of Dan’s and this story gives more fuel for a major offer from Connecticut, also giving Rob Pelinka an out/excuse that he really wanted Dan instead of JJ. This would also corroborate the narrative that LeBron had nothing to do with JJ’s hiring. From the time the podcast started the head coaching job was JJ’s. This was ALL a setup.
