Maybe Chad Ford can join OJ in searching for the real killers...
Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
I wonder whether Detroit or Charlotte would be willing to make a nice trade with us for one of our glut of PGs. Charlotte lost Kemba and Detroit lost Jennings. Maybe we could get a future 1st for IT, or a young prospect, or something of that nature.

What happened with the draft board again? I feel lost on this story and/or don't know why it's even a story.

Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
Chad Ford goes back later and changes what he said about the draft. Raises guys he had lower that are doing well, and vice versa. Some people pulled cached pages from draft night versus today and pointed out the differences.

What a imbecile thing to do.

Some people are more prideful than talented.

Oh, I do that all the time. I had the Greek freak the #2 prospect.

ESPN said they were looking into it, Ford said it wasn't him so they're investigating.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
It's so obvious that Ford himself is the one doing it. Nobody else has any reason to go and change his rankings. He just wants to look like a brilliant prognosticator. I think this scandal will ruin his credibility permanently, and deservedly so.

Turns out it was the North Koreans.

I miss real journalism, especially from ESPN. I know it was always about entertaining, but people used to be entertained by learning new and interesting facts. Now we seem to be entertained by new and interesting suppositions.

Does anyone know if the SportsVU data is owned by each team, or by the NBA as a whole?

Sure they would. This is the internet; people do and say hateful things just for the fun of it.Mori Chu wrote:Nobody else has any reason to go and change his rankings.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Right. But this would just make him look better. The internet certainly doesn't do that.INFORMER wrote:Sure they would. This is the internet; people do and say hateful things just for the fun of it.Mori Chu wrote:Nobody else has any reason to go and change his rankings.
Unless you are saying they did this and then pointed it out to make him look bad.

Possible. I just don't think it is as likely as him doing it.INFORMER wrote:Precisely.Indy wrote: Unless you are saying they did this and then pointed it out to make him look bad.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
I wouldn't consider it likely, I just wouldn't be surprised if that's what actually happened.Indy wrote:Possible.INFORMER wrote:Precisely.Indy wrote: Unless you are saying they did this and then pointed it out to make him look bad.

Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
Got it. I guess I wouldn't be too surprised either.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/26-2/1
At the same time, I follow Chad Ford's draft chats regularly, and he's always very candid about prospects he missed on. And he usually doesn't try to come across as the definitive draft voice either. So I don't see him going back and changing things.
