Trying really hard to like this but I still hate Chris Paul with a passion so it's difficult tbh.

[Devi8or]

So we can all agree that Vic is at least 7'5" or 7'6" right? They lost him as 7'4", but he's clearly taller than that when compared to Paul and Vassell

How tall is CP3 on that picture next to Wemby? Any chance CP3’s growth plate still gonna grow??

He seems weirdly reluctant to actually get measured.

[LeBowen]

Idk why are people so obsessed with both height and weight. What would different measurements change?
You have eyes. He's tall as , move on. He'll be the same player regardless of if he's listed at 7'2 or 7'5.

Do you know his hand size??

Can’t wait for the season to start

[LeBowen]

Can’t wait for the season to start

And then to lose all the motivation to watch it when Pop trots out Tre/Wesley/Branham/Jeremy/Collins lineup in second quarter of opening night game.

"If the insurance companies learn that I am 7'2, they will refuse to insure me." (Victor, 7:2)

[spurraider21]

Edey listed at 7'3 and 3/4 compared to 7'3 for Wemby

in a non-player related "off-season" move, ESPN continues to shred itself of all its basketball analyst talent by terminating Zac Lowe's contract. i guess they didn't care for his reluctance to constantly talk about lebron and the lakers. we're left with the likes of shelbourne, perkins, occasionally stephen a., and windhorst.

letting Zach Lowe and Jeff Van Gundy go in order to pay for this

this is Presti signing Perkins and not having money left over for Harden all over again

[Ice009]

Geez. No offense to Perk, as he seems like a good guy, but this seems like a cost saving move. I did not think he's a great analyst at all.

Hilarious

His wild takes result in clicks ... thats all that matters nowadays. Analyst? I think he is an idiot ...

[CGD]

To be fair to ESPN, they were paying lots of people who are duplicative. Look at all these public facing mouths they feed:

Marks
Windhorst
Bontamps
The 3rd guy on the windhorst pod
Perk
Jefferson
The old Duke PG
Givony

I’m sure I’m missing others. It’s a share the got rid of their A talent, but I don’t think they’ll miss much of a beat tbh.

[Mr. Body]

Look across the board at nearly everything Disney is doing nowadays. They're in horrible shape across the board.

[LeBowen]

Tbh, Perkins is probably getting 10 to 20% of what Lowe was getting. Same goes for other big names.
JVG and Mark Jackson were definitely were definitely paid way more than Doris Burke and Mark Jones.

The biggest issue for me isn't that they're getting rid of big names, I don't really care about that, but that they're going with full on casual entertainment route.
There's literally noone worth listening to at ESPN. No useful insight, no chemistry and they're beyond cringe.

We'll have to see how NBC and Amazon do next year.
I expect TNT to make this season special.

[Mr. Body]

There's a good chance Disney sells off ESPN soon. Maybe even ABC.

So true: the Marvel franchise went downhill fast, the Star Wars franchise is stalled, ESPN is ass, Hulu is ass.

Freakin OKC, I believe they get the LAC pick unprotected this year. Rich get richer.

[heyheymymy]

Perk ing sucks

And all the anchors do these days is say purposefully agitating takes on peoples teams to stoke engagement

[RC_Drunkford]

yeah I hope Nephew gets back for at least the last half of the season cause their roster sucks. OKC getting another top 10 pick this year would make them a juggernaut.
