Put some weight in the source's credibility, for god's sake. If you don't know who is posting the information, then you should be assuming it's wrong until it's corroborated by somebody who you do know.
If you see Schefter, Rapoport, Jeremy Fowler, JP Finlay, John Keim, Ben Standig, or somebody like that confirming it then you can believe it. And if this unknown person on Twitter is right enough times and corroborated by other credible sources, then you can start lending some credence. Until then assume it's bullshit.
Jesus Christ guys, critical thinking much?

While you are basically correct, I think after 20+ years of torture and the feeling until recently that he would never sell, we may want to be a little more understanding of the desperation of some to get it over with. Although, something tells me that your response is also reflecting the emotional rollercoaster the fan base is on.
