Skin knows the players and coaches a little, at least from the standpoint of a media guy, but I have never perceived that he had any connections in the front office beyond just people knowing each other well enough to say hello. And I don't know if he knows anybody well enough for them to confide in him regarding inside stuff.
He comments on the news, often demonstratively, but I can't remember him breaking any. (I don't represent that I can remember everything, of course.)
Do we have other sources for this item? I listened to the Tim Cato pod, and he mostly expressed concern that the team was even considering Kidd. Seemed a little stunned that Carlisle would recommend Kidd on his way out, and took it as a dig. (Not saying the Kidd item isn't so, just trying to figure out where it's sourced).
