    Adrian Wojnarowski, the best sports reporter on the planet, said the Rockets were drafting Tyus Jones and not Sam Dekker. Brian Windhorst said Chris Bosh was signing with the Rockets if LeBron went to Cleveland. Is their credibility gone? Mistakes happen, even for the best. Those are two big ones, nationally, involving the Rockets in recent years... and there have been far more mistakes than just those.

    Now, is there a point at which you can have too many? Of course. But this is an industry where facts can change on a dime, some stakeholders are trying everything they can to keep things beneath the radar, and other stakeholders are using media members as pawns in their game of leverage. It is really freaking hard, and no one comes close to batting 1.000. You seem to have this black-or-white view that either someone can be trusted, or they can't. Either they have credibility, or they don't. In this business, if that's your standard, you're going to miss out on a lot of valuable intel. Because most reporters hit on some things, and miss on others... and personally, I'd rather be open-minded to sifting through the evidence than just give broad, sweeping assessments of "credible" or "not credible."

    (By the way, the Shams "incorrect" report was rather odd... Iko reported what Ariza was allegedly desiring — not what he'd get, but what he was hoping for — and it was 10+ days before Shams chimed in. It's entirely possible that Iko's report was incorrect at the time Shams tweeted that, because Ariza's reps realized it was no longer realistic, but accurate at the time Iko tweeted it. The bigger picture of Kelly's report on Ariza was that Trevor was looking for a payday, rather than opportunity to contend... and he was the only guy I spoke to on the Rockets' beat in June who didn't think Ariza would be back. Ultimately, Kelly was right on the main point with Ariza, IMO.)

    Nick Young is pretty much a dumber version of Gerald Green (if that's even possible). He can fill it up when he is hot. But he is a chucker without conscience and does some dumb things like an adolescent who never grows up.

    And he doesn't have the love of Houston like GG does.

    LMM's 17-18 Playoff OBPM = -8.1!!!! DBPM = 1.9. PER = 2.6 (Career PER 10.7)
    Can argue this is because of injury. Ok. Let's look at LMM career playoff stats:
    OBPM = -3.3. DBPM = 2.2. PER = 9.1

    Ennis 16-17 (only playoff appearance in 6 games) OBPM = -2.3, DBPM = 3.0. PER = 11.3 which is close to career average 11.7).

    Put Clint out there with MCW, Green, Swag & Melo as punishment for holding out. If he signs that QO, that's ALL he gets to play with. Lulz.

    So, to Recap Iko today:

    On Feigen's deadline day for Ennis to decide (reported by a Feigen source in OP article) :​
    • Tweet 1: Nunnally's agent personally told Iko the Rockets have moved on from his client. The agent apparently mentioned Ennis by name.
    • Tweet 2: Ennis might not sign, because of "a hold up" ... he wants more than Minimum, and Rockets might not increase the offer.
      (Uh, no matter what happens, Iko would be correct on this. Nice perfect Fake News tweet to ride Feigen's deadline story, as it has no possibility of being technically wrong on any outcome.)
    • But then that would mean Nunnally is still a possibility, a contradiction of tweets.
    Very clever to use two tweets to ride Feigen's deadline day, but one contradicts the other....lulz. I'm sure he got a lot more followers by riding Feigen's deadline day story with the equivalent of Melo "2 yrd line" and "imminent" piggyback tweets from last year.
    • If Ennis doesn't sign, my bet is we'll get a tweet that Nunnally's signing is now "imminent", but also has a "hold up" like Ennis, because he's asking more than minimum, too...yet Iko didn't get that info from the agent today when he presumably had him on the phone.
    • Lastly, why you no post on Clutchfans, Iko...you afraid? :p

    "some level of interest" lol. like non :D

    lly Iko‏ @KellyIkoNBA Jul 7
    I’m told Houston had expressed some level of interest in adding LiAngelo Ball to their SL roster but nothing ever materialized. The Warriors were another potential spot. Would have been interesting to watch.

    Just like his Ennis Tweet today, It's impossible to be wrong on Fake News like the L'Angelo tweet, until Clutch later asks around to confirm you just made it up, and posts a Clutch bomb directed specifically at the Fake News....which Clutch has done twice to Iko in a few months times. Clutch doesn't do that unless you've annoyed him, somehow.
