I only trust Woj, Shams, Shelburne, Aldridge, and Windhorst(sometimes). For local Kings, I think Ailene Voisin is the most connected insider, followed by Jason Jones. James Ham seems to be more of a PR guy for the Kings.
AV is a hack who fabricates (or, at least, in the past has admitted to fabricating) quotes and actively pushes agendas instead of reporting news. Jason Jones is rarely, if ever, the first with anything and is more interested in tweeting about rappers than anything Kings related. He will confirm or echo things that others get first, but as beat writer he often seems to be lacking IMHO. Could be because he is a big Lakers fan?
I'm not going to discuss Ham at all. He's an *** and I have no respect for him whatsoever. If he's on TV or radio I change it, quickly. Thankfully, after calling him out on some of his crap, he blocked me so I don't have to see anything he puts out even if it is quoted by others. And I am fine with that. He doesn't break any news, either.
Sam Amick, Scott Howard-Cooper, and Aaron Bruski are all good follows and have good Kings connections/insights. Aaron has some definite opinions on certain items he is not afraid to push but I don't mind. At least he isn't making **** up like AV.
Spears and Stein too.
And some local folks - Dave and Kayte, etc.
