No. Did he wash out at ESPN and land at TNT? His schtick is rumor mongering. Ever since Peter Vescey, it seems like every NBA network has to have a pretend journalist like this. If you made a list of all the supposed trades, deals and inside info this clown has reported...and how many have actually happened...well....a blind man shooting free throws would have a higher percentage.

just my two cents

As far as I know, Ric Bucher is still on the ESPN payroll, but I think the ex-ESPNer you are referring is David Aldridge. D.A., as he was nicknamed by the folks in Bristol, CT., joined Turner/TNT Sports as an NBA sideline reporter last season. I don't think the sportcoats Aldridge wears on the sidelines are as loud as the ones Craig Sager has been known to wear. Where the hell does Sager get his coats? Norm Van Lier? Arsenio Hall from that latenight show he hosted in the '90s? Just wondering...
