Dave Hogg sort of reports Pistons will buy out Richard Hamilton

Huge mistake by me. In the spirit of the day, I misread Hogg’s tweet as the buyout will occur about 20 minutes after the trade deadline is finalized. Apologies for the confusion and misrepresenting the tweet.

Freelance writer Dave Hogg who often covers the Pistons:

"Rip will be gone about 20 minutes after the sale is finalized. #buyout"

I followed up to ask whether he was reporting or predicting. Hogg’s response:

"@PistonPowered Educated guess."

We’ll definitely keep an eye on this.
