Absolutely not! But it was the only reported narrative, and it follows a path of logic, and it is no less credible than what Shams reported today. You’re privileging a statement from an anonymous Pelicans source with every bit as much conflict as those behind the earlier story, in order to give me shit about blogging…

Uhh, Windhorst was asked point blank by Rachel Nichols if the Pelicans were leaking the trade discussion in order to humiliate the Lakers, and he said, unequivocally, that that was the case.

Trump added $4 billion to his assets with the previously unused and extremely nebulous line item “Brand Value.”

Somewhere, Darren Rovell is nodding in approval.

I too am a billionaire if you estimate the value of my brand at $4 billion. Please don’t make me own the Bills.

It sounds like the things they’re exposed to are significantly different than most other occupations.
