As the future of Anthony Davis surpassed the Warriors' spat and Whatever The Hell Is Happening With Markelle Fultz as the biggest story in the league, two streams of pushback trickled from concerned NBA citizens:
• The media is chasing clicks.
• LeBron is tampering by saying -- in response to a question from ESPN's Dave McMenamin -- that it would be "amazing" to play with Davis, and LeBron as Tampering Laker is another bit of evidence that the league is stacked against small markets.
The media did not make this a story.
