Look at Andersson last week making fun of Friedman and others for the back and forth comments, which he said is news to him and that he hasn't even talked to his agent since the season started.
Andersson also refuted the summer stuff to LA for the most part.

I find the validity of insiders and whether to take them with a grain of salt is directly tied to whether the insider info confirms what a poster wants to hear to further their point or goes against it. And that's everyone, not just "the negative crowd", the title some have given a bunch of posters here to quiet them down.
I would also argue that if you're going to say we take insiders with a grain of salt I would say the same thing of players comments when being asked about potential trades and reports tied to them. We know these comments are often fabricated/dismissive to avoid speaking about rumors and details of behind the scenes talks involving their contracts/trades.
