Sorry bro, but in the context of this thread, not really interested in playing "prove it to Kamm's satisfaction and at his whims." I saw it over and over. If you didn't notice, and want your own "reality," believe what you want.
You said: "On Mav moves, Stein was consistently ahead this summer. When they got something done, he was the guy that knew it first. When they were close, he knew it first."
So I went back to look and here is the "reality" not what we want to "believe"....
- Jake Fischer was first on JRich trade possibility to BOS. Shams was the first to announce the trade.
- Jake Fischer was first on Sterling Brown connection. Shams was first on the contract.
- Tim MacMahon was first on Cauley-Stein likely getting picked up. Shams was first to announce it officially.
- Stein was the first to announce Reggie Bullock contract.
- Stein was first on the Mavs confidence of Boban returning.
So Stein was not first on everything this summer. He was first on two of the five things I looked up. So yeah, my memory was right that he wasn't the first on everything Mavs this summer (and I was busy when Reggie Bullock was first announced so I didn't know he was first until going back and looking). And what he was first on he did not leak in advance (unless you consider the Boban contract an early leak), whereas Fischer and MacMahon had actual early scoops.
