On Wednesday, ESPN’s Ryen Russillo posted his new NBA podcast. There were no tales from the couch like in years past with the NBA Today, but I’ve always found Russillo to be well-informed and his sources and tidbits usually turn out to be credible.
Which is why I did not love to hear this bit of his “really bad trades you know deep down you really like.”
A source told Russillo last year that Utah Jazz star Gordon Hayward was going to be moved at some point or had asked to be traded. That same notion was widely criticized and debunked as a rumor several times over the offseason by the local writers.
