Shamit is starting a Discord for his subscribers who pay $50 per year.

I'm considering subscribing.

Holy frick, anyone who pays a dude not based in New Orleans a dime to talk about the Pelicans is a simp.

Like I get it, Shamit is a very good basketball nerd who likes the Pels, but he is no more plugged into the inner workings of the franchise than anyone on this board.


ETA: Just saw that one of the things he is offering is direct facetime with him... that's hilarious.

You do know thats its going to be dominated by a certain individual who goes on and off twitter and who everyone on this board hates. From his standpoint he always likes to tell the “honest truth.”

Nah MM's ego is way too big for him to join someone else's elite board.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was MM’s idea because people are more open to Shamit than him.

By the way $50 is absolutely ludicrous. Thats like what 2 tickets to a pels game lol?

It definitely is a little more than I really want to pay.

The best part is how he stresses how this isn't about the money and that he hates paywalls, but then chases that with "but it would be fiscally irresponsible to not do this"

You can't have it both ways.

itll essentially turn into Democratic Underground with the occasional Pelicans discussion.

I personally think this brings your credentials down a bit if you are seriously trying to pursue sports journalism as a career. Your whole goal is trying to spread awareness and information about a certain team to their fans. Now you’re monetizing the information you do get and creating a club where someone who can afford to waste $50- to talk about the pelicans.

And advertising having 1 on 1 time with himself is literally pimping yourself out and going the way of onlyfans. I expected more out of Shamit and its kind of disappointing he went this route. If anything I respect this free public board here even more.

Whatever happened to that douche that used to post here? He claimed to be some insider.

Lol, probably the last baw I’d pay money to talk ball with

He knows some ball, but he’s kind of unlikeable overall

I’d rather subscribe to Mac bc he has 1-2 nba sources and he can offer both quality and entertainment (when he inevitably goes off the rails).
