In sports someone is always lying.
It is why I tell fans not to believe anything you hear or read. The best thing you can do is make an assumption based off logic and coming sense.
NY Daily News reporter Frank Isola said LeBron is pushing for a Carmelo trade even if it included Kevin Love.
LeBron called the report and Isola trash.
Isola didn’t take it personal, but he stood behind his report Sirius Radio.
I spoke to people who spoke with LeBron afterwards, as actually he was walking to the bus. And his big thing was, he thought it was like — what would be the word that I’m looking for? — like out of line that the story came out when it did, just right before tip-off, as if somehow that was purposely planned by me as a way to kind of sabotage the Cleveland Cavaliers. Which isn’t the case.
I’ll tell you what: He didn’t exactly stand there and deny that, that’s what the story is.
Everyone is going to deny, deny, deny. And guess what? They should do that.
He said what he said, but he still was given bad information. A, he was given the wrong newspaper, number one. And then, he said, when he said “trash,” he meant “trash” for coming out when it did. It’s almost like he said, “Well, if you had written the story like on an off day, maybe I’d be OK with it. But don’t write it — don’t have the story come out right before we play a game.”
Just using common sense, I tend to believe there is at least some truth to Isola’s story.
Carmelo is LeBron’s friend and neither have been shy about saying they would like to play with each other and while Kevin Love did have a great game against the Wizards, he doesn’t consistently have great games.
Who do you believe?
