When a trade is floated around in the NBA, the basketball world looks to Adrian Wojnarowski to break the news. The easiest way to put it is to say Woj is the Bob McKenzie of the basketball world. But after watching this video, it appears we may want to look towards this chess grandmaster and self proclaimed NBA addict more often when it comes to basketball.
He goes by the name of Jan Gustafsson, and is a chess grandmaster. During a live chess stream hours before Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics, Gustafsson was throwing around a few ideas for the Celtics, and came up with a trade that happened hours later.
Apparently Celtics general manager Danny Ainge watches chess live streams in the offseason, because hours later we had a very similar trade to the one mentioned above.
Move over Wojnarowski, Gustafsson is the new insider in town!
