Mike Fisher and Maven/SI

[Hooper21]

 His interaction with the community was cool as you felt closer to the team through him, but his reporting always lacked substance. Simply no quality content from a gist point of view.

Best contributor by far was David Lord.

This community was his substance and he lost it with the move. 

There really is no quality Mavericks news source right now. It's a market gap.

Agreed on Fish.  Now we don't have to beat around the bush.  Literally everyone outside of Fish's forum knows the dude just pumps out random stories under the guise of reporting.  He'd get a story once in a while since he technically does have a press pass.  I can't believe people actually paid for his "donuts."  Kudos to him I guess for making a living writing random stuff people thought was "insider info."

Dlord is an invaluable CBA/cap asset.  His basketball opinions though are about 20 years outdated.

The thing about those 'donuts' is that he used to pull a good number of them from discussions on the board.  Not a bad idea, since there are a lot of good bball minds on here, but not necessarily journalism.  Stuff like that made me take the '75 member staff' comments to mean he used everyone on the board as his contributors instead of literally having that many employees.
