I’m guessing that’s why he’s on tv. Dude is dumb.





Richard Jefferson, Kendrick Perkins, Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson all got their jobs with ESPN as favors by the network to LeBron through Rachel Nichols. It's why all 4 got their start on The Jump. All are/were mouthpieces for LeBron on the network.

Maybe the last 3 but Richard Jefferson put some legit work into being a broadcaster/TV personality

He’s started a podcast the same day he retired in 2017 and called Nets games on the YES network during the 2018 season before joining ESPN in 2019. And he’s got a pretty good natural talent for it in terms of presence and being comfortable and clear on TV.

This would make the league even more top heavy and unwatchable

There’s already too many teams as is. They don’t need to be expanding.

Moving the Pelicans was always the plan as soon as the David Griffin was hired.

LeBron will micromanage the frick out of the roster


I hope LePussy builds a roster like the current Lakers roster. There isn’t enough Metamucil in Las Vegas for that basketball team.

LeBron is trying to outdo MJ again.

MJ was the GOAT on the court but a shite GM and owner.

LeBron will micromanage the frick out of the roster and blame the GM regularly foe doing what he was told to do.
Lebron will just separate himself even farther from MJ when he proves his basketball IQ is lightyears ahead of MJ.

Micheal Jordan was simply a top 3 player all time playing in a dumb era of basketball.

Lebron James is most likely the best basketball player of all time.

Yeah RJ is legit. Perk and Stack are idiots. I think they thought Barnes would be more outspoken like them because he had a tatted up "tough" guy rep in the league but he's actually pretty soft spoken/uninteresting on Tv.

The Pelicans aren't going anywhere. Gayle Benson and Dennis Lauscha recently announced her succession plans. Lauscha is from the New Orleans area and will be in charge one Gayle passes. He announced the Pelicans will remain in New Orleans as long as he is alive. Plans for a new arena are already being discussed.

Were my two picks in last month's future pro cities thread. But, both were the logical heavy chalk for the NBA's next expansion pair.

Vegas gonna get the A's too soon, and have the pro quad.

Eh, that’s not looking as likely now. Oakland finally seems to be moving forward.

Good. That’s one of the worst venues in the league.
