I don't listen to him, but he most certainly has not been right with anywhere near that frequency on the things that have then been posted on this board. For instance, he also said that Bryant and McGrady were coming. So that's twice being incorrect, which would mean he'd have to be right 18 times to get to 90%.

I think there's a bit of selective memory going on.

The remarkable thing is that he had an absolutely atrocious track record for years. Then, all of a sudden, starting about a year ago, he was breaking stories left and right. I think he just has a contact now and had never had one before.

"The Suns will trade Banks"

Wow Gambo really went out on a limb. Don't you think it would be a lot more risky to say the Suns will NOT trade Banks?

He never said it was a certainty that they were coming. He said that it would be possible and it made for an interesting discussion for the day.

You are correct sir. He never said any of those things WILL happen. He reported that the Suns were going after those guys. There is some selective memory. So unless someone here has a documented running talley of things right versus wrong, I have no idea giving him the benefit of the doubt. Those guys are more connected then anybody on these boards.

I really hope we move Banks. It's obvious we are not going to use him so what is the point? Get something for him now.

So, just for the record, did he say that the Suns "will" trade Banks for Mohammed, or "may"? Because "may" doesn't mean anything. I can say that the Suns "may" trade Stoudemire for Grant Hill, and I won't be proven wrong when it doesn't happen.

He never said they were coming. He said the Suns were in negotiations to make those deals. Which was correct. The Suns were trying but failed.

He's been right most of the time. His only fault is that sometimes when a deal is in progress, it falls through.
