The League requires NBA teams to maintain transparency with the media during preseason training camps as part of David Stern's "public closeness" policy.
He wanted the outside world to know what NBA teams were doing at this time.
As the sports website with the highest traffic on the American internet, ESPN would not miss this opportunity.
They dispatched all of their full-time NBA writing sports journalists, Marc Stein, Howard-Cooper, Lawrence May, David Aldridge...
Among them, the person most fascinated by basketball was undoubtedly Marc Stein. He was determined to excel as an NBA observer.
The first stop Stein chose was the Washington Wizards, and the second was the Milwaukee Bucks.
Yesterday, he did not get the chance to interview Jordan.
When he asked Doug Collins what the Wizards' purpose was in trading Yu Fei, Collins seemed very embarrassed.
"This is the NBA, when a trade happens, it happens."
Collins uttered a platitude.
