Fish is always selling his "real life Mavs contacts" stories, but I have never seen anything more like crap in this "article".
I also don't need to have real life Mav contacts to know Lee+Brunson is not near enough for a solid starter.
To me, someone who is plugged in thinking that the Mavs are interested in Covington is way more valuable than all of us amateurs thinking that it's obvious. You get to consume information in whatever way you choose of course.
Fish has always been about selling that he has contacts. Can't fault him for that because 1) he actually does have contacts, and 2) he makes a living as a guy who has contacts. He's a beat writer by trade. Having contacts and writing based on information from contacts is what he does and has always done. After he left the news paper business and went out on his own, he had to add 'salesman' to the list.
