Zach Lowe has been and continues to be one of the most consistently good and knowledgable writers in the entire sports world while also being entertaining. This move by ESPN is baffling.

BREAKING: ESPN has laid off Zach Lowe, per @AndrewMarchand

@KevinOConnorNBA @SacramentoKings @ChrisVernonShow add Kevin O’Contest to the intro

@brhoops @Spurs save some money on the recruiting expenses this summer and just plan on drafting Dillingham.

Sometimes, you just have to make the easy decision.

LETSSS GOOO!!!

@Revan1134 @kirkgoldsberry @Timberwolves @cavs @warriors @celtics @Suns @nuggets @Bucks @ATLHawks @Lakers @nyknicks Definitely not a full rebuild. Think how OKC continued to build around SGA after he became a known commodity. SA knows what Wemby is for sure now. Now give the man what he needs. It isn’t PG Sochan.

In light of the SNUB, here is one from my drafts: More people should be talking about Domantas Sabonis this season.

He just followed up a 20/25/5 game with 19/17/13.

He has 13 triple doubles and 44 double doubles.

He averaged 21/15/9 through January on 66% shooting.

Loved the mentality of Wemby in last night’s press conference following the @Spurs win.

Honestly if I’m Belichick, I’m sending my resume. And by resume, I mean I mail them a hoodie with the sleeves torn off and a letter stapled to the front saying, “Moving to LA was a good idea”.

@TyHaliburton22 Rick Carlisle is totally the Keanu Reeves of the NBA

@Josh810 However, can we admit charges like this are silly and not a basketball play?

Running to a spot, stopping, and falling is not in any way defense.

[Seth Downs @SethDownsNBA]

Even if Tre isn’t the eventually starting PG for this team down the road, it makes more sense to develop Wemby next to a real PG while also continuing to develop Tre as a creator/ball handler.

How many teams do we see that need an extra creator down the stretch in the playoffs?

@SheaSerrano gotta start a new list for these - and this might top it.

[The Pettiest Laker Fan 🤫 @ThePettiestLA]

This is the most disrespectful block in the history of basketball.

[Seth Downs @SethDownsNBA]

@JeffGSpursZone That’s an obvious truth.

The Spurs are where the Thunder were when they traded for SGA. Spurs have their star. Now to draft and develop around him.

No shame in having a worse team right now.

I’m 3-5 years though, that’ll be the real time to compare.

[Seth Downs @SethDownsNBA]

@andrewsharp Wild idea - what if we just gave things a chance and instead of arguing about potential flaws, we just enjoyed the sport we love? Collective outrage is old and tiresome.

Things were better when we were kids because we wanted to like them. We didn’t overanalyze court paint jobs.
