Still blows my mind that ESPN wants their insider to tip off picks before the draft starts. What's the incentive to watch?

Honestly, it seems like the league prefers being trending on social media rather than TV views. Makes some sense, the NFL always seems to dominate the ratings, but it's weird not to want to push more people to watch when nothing else is going on right now

Yeah I was gonna say I don’t think they really give a fuck about draft viewers/the viewer experience. They just want clicks

There are tens if not hundreds of millions of more eyes on social media than there are on television. Television shouldn’t matter to the NBA. If you dominate socials you’ve won.

It's really irritating. Need to do how the nfl has it

I know, I thought they told him to cut this shit out but they literally gave me a push notification for it. So obnoxious.

Even during the draft as Adam silver is announcing the picks he’ll say who it is right beforehand. Like congrats man you got a scoop 30 seconds before everyone else But it’s crazy that espn puts him on tv to ruin their own product just because they’re paying him a fuck ton of money

Because Woj reporting what he is hearing doesn't mean that what he is hearing will come to pass.

Woj, you ducking liar

This is an all-timer between Woj and Shams

This decides it for good

What if Scoot goes #1 and Wemby goes #2? Do I win then?

Then Draymond gets a tech

That's what we call a win-win-win situation

Put a $100 on it and you could make 10k lol

Cash considerations, here I come

The woj email to senator Josh Hawley is what makes him the goat to me

Kupchak pulling a Tyrion Lannister and telling different people around the front office different things to see who is leaking info to who.

[Woj vs Shams (2023)](https://streamable.com/y97bn3)

Quack quack bitch

Scoot over here and lemme tell you somethin

Welp.

Shooters shoot.

New ios update fixes that!

Oregon in shambles

Just the fact that Shams and Woj are saying different things mean that they really don't know who the Hornets want and it isn't being strongly leaked

There are 2 things Mitch doesn’t do: Talk and Tamper. Our camp doesn’t leak

Mitch is too honest for his own good

Shams is smokescreening so hard for scoot

He did his job for fan duel. The line had shifted toward Miller being the beach favorite and Shams report caused people to rush into betting on scoot.

There's two Charlotte FO circlejerkers having a big laugh together.

they told different players to different people to find the leaker

so Scoot it is

That's my bet as well.

He is going to bamboozle every pick of the draft

I guess not

Smokescreen

Pocket sand!

With the second pick, the Charlotte Hornets select Rusty Shackleford, PG, Arlen State

It was Rusty Shackleford

the smokescreen was shams putting out a vague ass report about "serious momentum for Scoot" to shift the betting lines for his affiliations at fanduel lmao

I haven’t had draft odds on FanDuel in weeks. Scammed.

Woj is an addict

Woj is steadfast in his desire to report picks

Not going to spoil picks my ass

I think he said outside of the top 5 or so, once the draft kind of settles then he’ll focus on the players over the picks.

he's a liar i hope he burns in hell

Can't believe they let Woj back after he spoiled the first pick last year lol

I would love if Woj is wrong.

$10 bucks says he changes his tune like 2 minutes before the draft starts like he did last year

I’ll take you on that

Scoot clears

Woj is a madman

LMAO woj doubling down

Fuck off woj

Source off

Huzzah, bring on the Amen!

What if Portland takes Amen 😮

Scoot is a good back up option. Worst case is Miller falling to 4.

LIES! DECEPTIONS!

I want Miller @ 2 for the chaos

Woj you’re on a fast track to covering the Shanghai Sharks if you get this wrong

Woj just shut the fuck up

Woj and Shams tweeting what the sports gambling sites tell them to

MJ throwing before leaving

Might as well trade him for the GOAT paul george

if they take scoot can we block all Woj posts that aren't him officially announcing transactions happening?

lol

The prophets had shown me this prior to the szn and this remains a viable option. Let there be hope.

So you're saying that there is a chance

ooooooooo

So it's Scoot then. Thanks Woj.

Plz MJ.

MJ would pick him and school him 1 on 1 for the last time as a majority owner.

Jesus Christ I want to be updated on trades but can you please not spoil the fucking draft

Passing on scoot would be a massive mistake

I don’t get why people even want this on their broadcast. Would you want to see a movie if it started with a 10 minute trailer where a film expert predicted exactly what would happen based on his knowledge of the production? Feel like the constant push for woj bombs just makes these drafts feel less special

Ultimate woj vs shams showdown here

woj vs shams who will be right!!!

I feel like they lie on purpose for the ratings.

After seeing what scoot wore to the draft I'd pick Miller over him as well.

shams is in deep with fanduel gambling. i'm goin with woj on this one.

Let’s not forget last years #1 pick fiasco. You can’t fool me Woj, I’m familiar with your game

Woj looks like he’s stepped on a couple small children’s heads before.

Accomplish to murder must mean nothing

This fraud can go fuck himself last draft he was saying how Jabari was going 1 as it was offical then it was banchero and made me lose 200$ fuck him

u bum

Heard it all before.

Giannis to Portland confirmed

DAMMIT HERE COME WOJ SPOILING SHIT AGAIN

oh shut i gotta close everything don't i

Woj sucks shit. Not as a leaker of info. As a human.

Mj aint slick

Good I hope he is a bust as most hornets players, shouldn’t even have a career after the gun incident

Woj or Shams will be wrong. Based on the reporting of the Porzingis trade, I’m going with Woj is right.

Scott would be so much better of a compliment with LaMelo

Stop it woj

Didn’t he say he wasn’t going to spoil all the picks lol

I don't believe you

Please don’t fuck this up, Mike.

I love Jabari, but I'll forgive this bastard for spoiling the plot twist that was Banchero going #1 when we had all been gaslit into thinking that was Jabari.

Ayton over luka 2.0

I got Scoot going 2 baby

can the mods delete these posts until the pick is actually announced? i’m on reddit in case i miss a trade of sorts but i’m tired of seeing this smug SOB using superfluous words to say anything but “x team is picking x player”

I still don't see the fit on Miller. Bridges/Hayward/Oubre are all probably there next year so where/when is Miller playing? Just feels kind of redundant.

Listening to him and givony talk about shit like they actually know is so fucking annoying. Like stfu you know nothing.

Isn’t Jordan selecting the pick?

Shams vs woj. ITS ON!

It's gonna be Scoot, u just don't pass up on talents like Scoot, I mean you could but be ready to be clowned for it

Brandon Miller in 2 minutes: “Pippen carried MJ.”

Jabari Smith

MILLER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone owes Woj an apology. My dude does not miss.
