Perpetual late-comer Chris Broussard hasn't had a good evening with his "sources." Earlier this evening, he was comically slow on the news that Deron Williams had re-upped with the Brooklyn Nets to the tune of five years and $100 million. How did we know Williams had agreed to staty with the Nets? Williams tweeted it himself.
Then, just a little while ago, the Phoenix Suns announced they had signed Hornets guard Eric Gordon to a four-year, $58 million offer sheet. How did we all find out? Gordon released a prepared statement:
"After visiting the Suns, the impression the organization made on me was incredible," Gordon said in a prepared statement. "Mr. Sarver, Lon Babby, Lance Blanks, the front office staff and Coach Gentry run a first-class organization, and I strongly feel they are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is now."That was posted at 7:20 pm Pacific time. This is Broussard seven minutes later, from his iPad:

Eric Gordon and the Phoenix Suns agree to a Maximum Offer sheet worth $58 million over 4 years, sources said.
Six minutes after that, he tweets what is portrayed as a personal note from Gordon
Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard
Eric Gordon told me this: "I strongly feel (the Suns) are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is.''
Hmm. Let's go back and take another look at that prepared statement Gordon released through the Suns:
"After visiting the Suns, the impression the organization made on me was incredible," Gordon said in a prepared statement. "Mr. Sarver, Lon Babby, Lance Blanks, the front office staff and Coach Gentry run a first-class organization, and I strongly feel they are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is now."If you're looking to Chris Broussard for your "breaking" NBA news, you might as well look elsewhere.
I just quoted a Chris Broussard tweet
If Chris Broussard was on this website, he'd be banned for starting topics about signings and news that happened way after the fact.
Broussard, Bucher, and the rest of the ESPN machine is so routinely scooped by Woj that it's just embarrassing.
I follow Stein pretty closely, but that's about it.
Woj is the best, Stein is pretty good, same with Zach Lowe, Broussard is OK, Bucher is trash.
Does ESPN only employ people that are good at taking someone else's work and rewording it?
Sons, I get all my NBA news from BRHornets' tweeter feed. God bless.
son, you're shameless
Broussard is the boss. My favorite analysts.
Broussard last night was saying Howard likely to the Mavs or some ! Then later on this day he says he might still go to the Nets! He is a clown and always late on these things! How does he get paid or has a job is beyond me! PERIOD.
David Aldridge, Woj & Marc Spears are the best.
Woj and DA are the only credible guys IMO.
Alex Kennedy ain't too bad either tbh.
Chris B is a clown with no sources i have to ask his wife Have you stopped beating your husband yet..?
Yup
And DA gives credit to Yahoo if Woj broke the news 1st
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt Was out of the loop 2nite (went to Nats game-sorry), saw Phoenix gave Eric Gordon $58M offer sheet. Source says NO will match. Yahoo! first.
