I Hate The Fake NBA Trade Community

The NBA has the worst set of fans. I think everyone can agree on that. One specific section of NBA fandom needs to go. I absolutely hate the fake NBA trade community. I’m not sure a worse group of humans exist.

Can we just make a pact right now? Unless Adrian Wojnarowski tweets out news, who the fuck cares? I’m not interested. If you noticed, Woj’s account has been silent outside of ONE rumor that sends Chris Paul to Phoenix and that wasn’t even his story. He just retweeted Brian Windhorst (who is also really good at reporting). Woj hasn’t reported any other story. He’s the best in the business because he doesn’t fall for bullshit.

Trading Chris Paul makes sense. I’ll buy those rumors. Oklahoma City wants to start their rebuild and selling high on CP3 makes sense. Here’s what I can’t buy. Everyone and their mother trying to come up with fake trades that will never happen. Then somehow taking credit for something that won’t happen and getting recognition for it. Do you know how big of psychopath you need to be to do that?

Let’s go over a few.

DEVELOPING: The Rockets and Clippers have discussed a deal that would send Paul George and a first-round pick to Houston and Russell Westbrook to LA, per @ScoopB. pic.twitter.com/jqILwvppfy

A: Will never happen.

B: Who the fuck is Scoop B? Is that one of Kevin Durant’s burner accounts? It sounds like a fake person.

C: Yeah, I’m sure Kawhi Leonard would love to play with Russell Westbrook. What a joke.

Do we see how ridiculous this has gotten? Let’s do another.

It's possible the #Celtics flip picks and Kemba Walker to the #Pelicans for Jrue Holiday, and send Gordon Hayward to the #Pacers for a deal involving Myles Turner.

Boston could once again transform its roster pretty significantly after a run to the East Finals.

No disrespect to Adam Kaufman, he looks like a nice guy. However, this is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

A: Danny Ainge isn’t this stupid.

B: Kemba Walker is better than Jrue Holiday.

C: Gordon Hayward is better than Myles Turner.

D: In what world do you think you need to flip picks to downgrade?

The NBA has become horny off of trying to find a better date to the prom. It doesn’t matter if you already found a date. It’s just about trying to swap dates as many times as you can.

Let’s do another.

The Hawks have emerged as a potential trade destination for New Orleans' Jrue Holiday in multi-team trade scenarios that would involve Atlanta's No. 6 pick in next week's draft, league sources say

I’ll tell you what; nothing gets more going more than Jrue Holiday to the Hawks. WTF are we doing here? What’s the point in this? Please tell me?

I can already imagine a day in the life of the fake NBA trade person. The lights go off, a candle gets lit, and the NBA trade machine gets fired up. You know the rest…

Kevin Durant Hates The ‘Circus’ Of The NBA

Let’s make a deal with everyone. No more fake trades. I’m done with it. Unless Woj tweets it, I don’t care. So far there have been zero trades this offseason. Woj hasn’t tweeted a single rumor. That’s weird now isn’t it?
