It's the offseason and everybody's bored waiting for free agency to get started and with the recent debates about Gambo, and to a lesser degree Bickley and Espo, I thought I'd ask about who people trust when it came to Suns reporting. In addition to Suns coverage, who do you like and trust that covers the NBA as a whole but does so nationally? I would say this board is probably made up of about 60% local fans and 40% outside of the Phoenix media market. With so many people outside of the local scene, I'm curious who the non-local people turn to for Suns reporting.
I was going to make a poll but I'm sure I would have left a number of people off. The poll options here also don't allow it to be left open so other people can add their own choices. Some might prefer a certain site specifically rather than a few reporters, which is something that could be overlooked in a poll that lists just reporters or analysts. So it'll be easier to have an open thread that allows people to name who they turn to and expand on it their reasoning.
Some like Gambo, Bordow, and Bickley but there are also others that I'm forgetting. There are fringe "reporters" like Espo and also some fan sites like Bright Side Of The Suns, more reputable coverage like AZ Central, and local sports radio like KTAR/98.7, NBC 1060, or some other dot com's or social media sources. So who do you prefer to turn to for Suns reporting?
How about national news, rumors, or just general NBA reporting, what sources do you prefer? Please, elaborate on why you like somebody.
Is there anybody you just don't like listening to, reading, or seeing either locally or nationally? Feel free to expand on that as far as why you feel that way.
If you have anything else to say about anyone who covers the NBA or the Suns, specifically, then post about it here. Hopefully it can be contained some in this thread instead of how it's expanded and derailed some other discussions here lately.
