Fire a bunch of notable employees because your company is bleeding money, then hire a highly paid NBA insider. Seems like a smart move


Agreed. This kind of hiring can't be good for the overall morale at ESPN. They just shite canned a ton of people ostensibly b/c they can't afford them. To turn around and hire one of the highest paid NBA guys around just days later is an extremely tone deaf move.

Simmons would call this the classic "3 for 1" trade; bad move IMO EVEN though Woj is a hell of a pull and has great staff.

Would you Trade Lebron for Mike Conley, Paul George and KG?

Ford, Stein, Abbott, Strauss (budding talent), and truehoop brought such an unique and sort of subtwitter subreddit niche and appeal to NBA coverage in general. If feel like the NBA is the only pro sport that has all these little niches --- there is something for everyone; entertainment guys, fashion guys, jocks, stats guys, press/journalism Guys etc.

Dropping those guys and not replacing them hurts the NBA ultimately. I wouldn't ve happy if I were the NBA
