MAX ...This section is interesting. Nothing wrong with guessing. Nothing wrong with making assumptions based on facts. Nothing wrong with speculation based on facts.

But dont tell me something is a fact, when you dont have anything to support it other than wild guesses. Don't tell me something is going on, when there is NO EVIDENCE (including from ESPN Insider) that any such thing is occurring.

This thread was based on "NJ is looking to getting rid of Kidd's salary " and also "[NJ is] not going to sign K-Mart" and also "SA is offering Parker and lots of expiring contracts for Kidd" - and there is not one shred of evidence that any of those things is going on. Not one report, not one source, not one quote, nothing. Without any support, it is inaccurate to claim such things ARE HAPPENING.

A thread does become pointless when untrue "facts" are added, when "NBA facts" are made up. If you say something IS HAPPENING, you need to have more proof than "well it is possible"

EDITED: as requested, in the interests of better personal tone.
