Per sources, the Pelicans view Dia as “untouchable” in any future trade talks, real or imagined.

Can’t shams just let the teams announce two way contracts? I’m very close to turning off shams notifications

Why is this such a big deal? Is that weird that I get my news from a shams report popping on reddit? I’ve literally been doing that since 2017 and it was never a problem until recently I’m seeing people upset about it

Reddit is on a Shams/Romano hate train the last few weeks. They’re literally just mouthpieces for teams/agents.

ppl have this idea that hes supposed to be a journalist and have full blown details within 2 seconds lol. at this point if ur following shams for anything other than initial deals with details later then thats on u

HE has this idea that he’s an actual journalist that makes him pretentious and unlikeable

i mean it doesnt really matter wat he thinks he is lol. treat him like the mouthpiece he is and hes no longer annoying

i dont understand y ppl even bother watching him, all he does is reiterates wat he tweets anyways

Do you actively follow the Pelicans?

It’s one thing to dislike Shams but these recent comments of the most mundane complaints are so performative

What the fuck is your deal? Mute it if you want but we really care all that much.

Is this even true though? Or will lawyers for the Pelicans come out and say it’s inaccurate.
