Wow, they have now laid off every podcaster I cared to listen to.

I think it illustrates the well known fact that quality analysis always loses to rumors and controversy.

Zach Lowe has 976,000 followers on Twitter/X
Stephen A Smith has 6 million followers

That is the sad world we live in. ESPN just committed a lot more money to the NBA and as crazy as it sounds, someone like Stephen A Smith is probably more valuable than Lowe as they make cuts to pay the NBA.

Would love for him to join the ringer again. Him, Russillo, and Bill would be gold

I was just listening to the latest edition of The Lowe Post right before I saw this news. What a terrible decision by ESPN. I hope he does join The Ringer. Him and KOC as the deep basketball analysis guys with Russillo and Bill as the opinion guys would be fantastic content.

KOC left the ringer just recently (which does not seem coincidental). I think maybe he went to Yahoo? Not sure

Probably? That's not even a question.
Losing actual analysis of Lowe for hot take bullshite like Perk is the actual loss.

I didn’t realize that. I liked KOC but Lowe is my favorite NBA reporter.

Sorry to hear that, I liked KOC as well. I don't do Yahoo sports.

Lowe and Russillo definitely need to collaborate on some NBA pods

Amazes me that an idiot like Perkins remains employed though.
