Well that is the only question, and the thing is, on NO topic is Woj less qualified to opine than Vivek Ranadive's opinions.
The problem with Woj is that of course is a well known whore -- that's why he's so often got the inside scoop shortly before things happen. He directly, and blatantly, sells his journalistic integrity for access. So, he will carry bad stories for agents or others, in return for them giving him inside scoops at a later date. So yes, Woj often has the best info in the business, because he is one of the very few who actually does have "sources", as in the principal parties themselves. But, in return for that inside info, he runs reprehensible political fluff stories at the behest of outside masters.
When you see a story like this, you have to decide, is this Woj with the inside scoop? And given that our front office and ownership hate him, and given that Cuz's agents issued a denial, you know THOSE aren't the sources.... Or is this Woj carrying some outside party's water again? Woj aligned himself against Vivek early on, so one of the minority whiners? We know he's been using PDA as a source. PDA? (I don't know what benefit he would get from still using him however). Ainge or some other GM looking to again shake the tree? Dunno.
In any case, Vivek being Vivek, you never can entirely trust unfortunately. Cuz could want to come back, Vlade could tell him he was coming back. And our mercurial owner could panic and destroy everything all over again. Or I should say YOUR mercurial owner, because if he did do something like this I am done with his franchise and would urge Joerger to bail out as soon as possible for his sanity and reputation too. Nonetheless, my guess here is Woj is working for somebody here. Just not sure who.
