Joe Dumars CAUGHT By NBA Leaking Info To Adrian Wojnarowski

Adrian Wojnarowski is a fantastic basketball writer for Yahoo Sports and has single handedly built up both Yahoo Sports writing dept and his own creditability for being one of the NBAs most followed writers. Back in 2011, during the NBA draft, Woj broke the internet by tweeting out the draft picks before David Stern announced them because of his close relationship with many league sources. Since that breakout moment for Wojnarowski's career, he has seemingly made it his mission to fight ESPN, whom he wrote many columns before his switch to Yahoo Sports.
"In 2010, the NBA fined Dumars $500,000 for leaking multiple confidential league memos to Wojnarowski, according to multiple sources. This matches the third largest publicly known fine the league has ever handed down. The NBA decided that too many memos were making it into the media, so they conducted a sting operation over several months. They would change a few words or numbers in different team's copies of otherwise identical memos, so that when the memos leaked they could spot the small differences and trace them back to the leaker. This approach caught Dumars red-handed, as well as an executive from another team who was fined $12,500 for leaking to a draft-focused website. Joe Dumars, the Detroit Pistons, and the NBA all declined to comment on the fine."
