The Athletic's resident renowned NBA senior journalist Sam Amick, has slammed our website's female rumour monger "Ms. Plan To" on his company's Apple Podcasts channel on Sunday for falsely claiming "the Phoenix Suns had offered a "blockbuster contract" to sign Golden State Warriors wonderkid Congolese center Jonathan Kuminga, exacerbating their contract extension dispute".

Amick criticized in the program, stating that he had contacted Jake Fischer, an industry colleague mentioned in the "Ms. Plan To"'s article, for confirmation. However, Fischer denied he had reported that the Suns had offered Kuminga a "blockbuster contract."

Amick criticized and stated that, the Phoenix Suns had always had plans to sign Kuminga, but had never offered him any contract because the Warriors had never allowed the Suns to approach him about signing him.

The Suns had always planned to sign Kuminga and then move him in a three-way trade, but the Golden State Warriors had rejected any such approach because they were not interested in the proposed trade.

The Warriors also expressed no interest in any offer that would have included Buddy Hield and Moses Moody in the three-way trade.

Finally, Amick slammed "Ms. Plan To"  by calling her not to go great lengths to fabricate stories for the sake of clickbaiting to hype up all sorts of fake news and claims in order to emphsize that Jonathan Kuminga's contract extension negotiations are at an impasse.

In fact, I've long noticed that "Ms. Plan To" has rarely, if ever, hyped up fake football transfer rumours since last month and has turned her attention to the NBA.

Ever since she started posting news about the NBA, I've noticed that Kuminga's name is being used almost daily in various trade rumours (i.e., NBA's equivalent of transfer rumours).

Even worse, "Ms. Plan To" shamelessly claimed that Amick said, "Because Steve Kerr was unwilling to provide Kuminga with more consistent playing time, the Warriors intended to release him without compensation." However, I've searched the internet and haven't found any mention of Amick making such a claim!

"Ms. Plan To"'s claim that "Kerr once complained about Kuminga's incompetence" actually didn't come from Amick at all, but rather from American influencer Logan Murdock's personal opinion on The Ringer blog!

After lying about football news, now you're lying about the NBA. Is there nothing else in your world besides deceiving people and hyping up news, "Ms. Plan To"?!
