sorry to interrupt the McDavid candle light vigil but on a side note, who spread the Faber doesn’t want to be on the Kings rumor?

Didnt the team come out with a press release that said that among other stuff?

I thought it came from an “insider”

There was also something about a physically challenged sibling that faber wanted to be near.
I do remember that the entire deal was actively challenged as bullshit.

I don't know who started it. Plenty spread it when they saw he was from Minnesota, and people like to spread conspiracy theories.

No

That was a poster here. Complete nonsense, but whoever it was stuck to it for months. Faber was interviewed and he said he was happy to play for the kings and was surprised by the trade (paraphrasing).

I think some reputable stated it too. That’s how it took off. It’d be really good to know who it was.

I think it also got twisted that he declined to sign with the Kings as he wanted to return to college for unfinished business and some people took that as "he doesn't want to be here"

I think this was the only reason that "rumor" came from. People panicked when he didn't sign and took it as he didn't want to sign in LA and everyone ran with it as the gospel truth. Faber has always denied that he never wanted to sign in LA.

The rumor was widespread for a reason. I remember reading some verified guy on twitter posted about having that knowledge in regards to the situation. I just wish we remembered who it was that lied like that
