How every rumor on this page is labeled

Reported A named reporter with a real track record is reporting it. The exact quote runs here, in full.

Discussed Real people around the league are talking about it, but nobody is reporting it as fact. It runs here as talk, never dressed up as news.

Idea A mock trade or a what if, including our own Trade Lab builds. Ideas get checked for cap legality before they run, and they are labeled as ideas, always.

Corrections on this page are made visibly, with the fix shown. Nothing gets silently edited, and nothing gets deleted to hide a miss.

The first full Rumor Watch and the first Mock Trade Lab run this week. The standard above is the launch entry, and it does not bend when the deadline gets loud.
