From what I hear, Woj does this to people who won't give him insider information, which is LeBron and the Bulls front office.

Eh. I think it's legit.

We've all heard the riff raff about Thibs and the management. I wouldn't be shocked one bit if Thibs is gone next season.

More like the "fabricated part". I think he's been watching too many X-Files episodes on Hulu. He's very specific about this incident from "like you know, maybe a year or so ago, I think, perhaps."

Oddly enough, the only other website to report this drivel is the Chicago World Wide News aka the Sun-Times.

Nah, its a story that has a bit of truth to it that Woj is massively exaggerating. Woj did the same thing when telling the LeBron to Miami story. I thought then how the hell would Woj know exactly what LeBron's plan was this quickly after the decision? He took some legit sources and then exaggerating and made up some bits to make it sound like a great story.

Woj has a massive following due to his ability to break news, but his story telling? A lot of fabrications IMO.

It probably is. Although the Bulls are going to have a hard time explaining to people why they fired their coach if they win the East

I wonder if you really pressed him, would you find out that John Paxson really hopes the team doesn't get any further than where they are at? Makes a guy really easy to fire in that case.

that would be very disappointing if so. ive always heard that the rift is more between thibs and gar forman, not so much paxson...but again, just what ive heard, who knows for sure

I wouldn't imagine Gar would make a move like that without first discussing it and getting the go ahead from Paxson.

Plenty of other publications worldwide have talked about Thibs and Gar-Pax. It's been going on for years.

You don't believe for one second that Woj asked an assistant what's going on, and the assistant didn't want to say a word?

The assistant may have not wanted to say a word, but I don't believe the "office is bugged" part of that story.

We know there's a feud. A guy with more knowledge than anyone on the situation, KC Johnson, has said the feud is on both sides.
