I don't want to have anything to do with those kind of theories, not interested at all. I think we have way to few information to be able to figure out. I also think Stein is way better than to be used by a team/agent.
The media literally has only TWO sources for info:
1) Teams
2) Agents/players
That's it. The media gets fed their info from one of those two sources....or they are just making things up.
Also, teams and agents/players are trying to accomplish their goals this time of year and so this time of year is full of misinformation and half truths. The media cannot know what they are being fed is really accurate other than get as many sources as possible and try to connect the dots and be sleuths (just like we do on here).
There is a reason that Shams and Woj generally only report stuff when things are done. They basically stay 100% out of the rumor mill, though they will pass along general beliefs about a team's interests. Even then we have seen both of them be a little off in their information this year.
Stein is GOOD, no doubt, but he is still being fed info from VERY biased parties who have agendas with millions of dollars at stake. Of course he is going to try and cross check his info as much as possible, but he is still being used as a mouthpiece. They ALL are. No media type is exempt from that.
