[D. Bergin]

I really hate that half the articles that pop up on my sports news feed are "proposed" trades, by sports "insiders" that have zero basis in reality.

Then the rest of the article is the writer (or AI) basically arguing with themselves on why it would be a smart/dumb trade for said team, if somebody actually follows through on it.

I thought it was pretty hilarious when there was an actual "huge trade" (Luca Doncic to the Lakers), there was literally zero warning from any of the industry "insiders".
