Warriors fans were the first to experience the consequence of a post-Woj world on Wednesday with a fake viral trade involving Golden State and Ben Simmons.
Veteran NBA scoopster Adrian Wojnarowski announced his retirement as a reporter on Wednesday, leaving many NBA fans wondering who will step in as his replacement as the top news breaker at ESPN. Sensing an opportunity, a parody account decided to fill the void.
An X account named Aaron Rosenberg, with the handle @aaronespn, not only made a fake announcement that it was taking over for Wojnarowski, but also announced its first fake transaction: Simmons to the Dubs.
