Earlier today, Former ESPN and current Bleacher Report NBA Insider Ric Bucher broke a story claiming that the Miami Heat would be trading Norris Cole, future draft picks and cash to the Toronto Raptors to bring Kyle Lowry to South Beach. It’s seems that this was a huge mistake on Bucher’s part. He then took to Twitter to apologize for breaking the story and expressed his embarrassment at his over-eagerness to release a story that’s actually false

Bucher reported a rumor of Lowry to the Heat... just like Wojo, Broussard and Stein and all the other guys do a 1000 times an offseason.. the difference is those guys never bring up the fact they got the story wrong, they just go on to the next rumor and keep on reporting false leads...

Bucher apologized for getting it wrong and he's getting dragged through the mud as if he's the first sports reporter to get a story wrong

what. bucher said he was definitely going. woj, stein, and spears don't report bullshit like bucher does all the time. they are good sources.

what. bucher said he was definitely going. woj, stein, and spears don't report bullshit like bucher does all the time. they are good sources.So? Wojo reported Kobe was definitely retiring after his achilles injury.. they all get stories wrong, no big deal, nature of the beast

BTW i'm not a Bucher fan, don't like him one bit actually but everyone acting like he's the first sports reporter to goof on a story is just being a dickhead because they can be...

AKA it was all a publicity stunt for Bucher to make some extra $$$

It's not that, it's that he keeps goofing on bullshit and reporting it.

First it was about Bosh and LeBron going to Chicago a "done deal".

Then when Woj reported that Dwight was going to L.A. he totally threw water in Woj's face about it.

Then this Lowry bullcrap and all the inbetweens.

FWIW: disparate opinions among gms, agents, league HQ officials today about where LeBron is going, but consensus on 1 thing: it's not Mia.
