I also don't see a hint of incompetence or lack of professionalism here. They didn't tell the media anything and in all honesty that's how it should be. Frankly, the Aaron Ward strut onto the set with the 'scoop' turned out to be my favorite part of the evening and potentially my highlight of the entire season. It wasn't at the time, but in hindsight its one of the funniest things I can recall in a live sports broadcast!

It was unprofessional for Feaster to tell a fellow GM that the deal was done, leave him hanging until midnight and then call him to say the player had chosen to go elsewhere. Watch Chiarelli's press conference; it's enlightening.
