Adrian Wojnarowski was asked on the Garbage Time Podcast with Katie Nolan about how he cultivates his sources.

"To me it's a conversation you have going every day with people," said Wojnarowski. "It's a 365 day a year job. And you're always talking about exchanging ideas, exchanging information. People who do their jobs with teams, they're in the information business. If you can help them, at times, with what else is going on the landscape, your relationship with them has value.

"You have to build real relationships. But I think if people think you're always playing an angle with them or just after information, I think they'll push you away."

Wojnarowski also said he worked to build his base of sources when he began following the NBA during the 06-07 season by focusing on younger front office executives and assistant coaches.
