What does a Franklin, Michigan-based stock trader know that the rest of the NBA world doesn’t? Perhaps quite a bit.
Bruce Tennen, the stock trader in question, tweeted out to his 7,616 followers on Feb. 16 a pretty straightforward rumor:
Anybody can throw out trade rumors, and in the era of fake trade proposals getting cycled and recycled you have to be careful. As a writer, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff, and a good early indication of junk is if it winds up in the International Business Times.
The exact trade was also floated by Bleacher Report not as a rumor but as a suggestion.
