That results in Woj getting creative on Twitter and using fuzzy language to report draft picks while protecting himself and still adhering to the rules, I guess. Me on my phone watching Shams vs Woj on #NBATradeDeadline /qrcLHfXRfE JWoj Twitter photo As you probably know by now, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski isn’t supposed to report draft picks before Commissioner Adam Silver announces them. Woj vs Shams the next few hours /aGt81h9B5d They have to press a buzzer to announce trades. New #NBATradeDeadline idea: Woj vs Shams on a game show. I’m not smart enough for that sort of introspection. population registered (not all of which are genuine profiles with real people). Never mind that a platform like Twitter has only about 20 percent of the active U.S. I don’t know what this says about the state of social media in 2022 that this horse race becomes something we have to track when it comes to reporting.
