Tim Buckley of the Deseret News reports: Some call it fibbing. Others prefer misinformation, or even disinformation, a term usually reserved for describing the planting of false information regarding political and military matters. But whatever it's dubbed, make no mistake: At this time of year, normally honest, upstanding men throughout the NBA cave in to the pressures of playing . . . The Lying Game. "Oh, it's real," said David Fredman, the former Jazz scouting director, now a Denver Nuggets assistant general manager. "It used to be that from the management and coaching end of this business, agents used to be looked upon as guys that wouldn't tell the truth and would break the rules," Fredman added. "And I think now there are people like that on our end of things, too." Why? Perhaps because the draft has become such a high-stakes affair. |
