Former ESPN personality Dan Le Batard is making some strong accusations against ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

During the most recent episode of the Dan Le Batard show Le Batard called Wojnarowski’s reporting on the Lillard trade “embarrassing.”
“Thank you for bringing up Woj…the Heat know that he’s just agenda-based, shilling, bought and paid for by Portland, it’s embarrassing that Woj is telling people it might be weeks or months on Lillard…this is the Heat’s position, there are no calls going back and forth. The offer is Herro and Herro is the best one you’re going to get from anybody, he’s better than Maxey, he’s the best you’re going to get, you’re boxed in, Lillard wants to be with us, this is the offer.”
