The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

[Ronin]

It will definitely be harder to rein in the NBA stars. I think it's vital they get guys like Lebron, Kawhi, Giannis, etc to lead the charge as far as bubble compliance. If those guys are all doing it then it'll help Silver and the NBA's staff keep everyone else in line, IMO.

I have hope that Lebron will lead the charge, not so sure about the rest of those alpha males.

Kyrie will set up a camp across the street from the bubble trying to lure players out.

Come to think of it, I'd pay to watch a security feed of the bubble. Forget league pass, give us the feed from the cameras in the parking lot.

You need to set that up like NFL Redzone! Just take us to where the infractions are curently happening! NBA Red Zone!

The Palace of Auburn Hills was imploded today.

Detroit needs a do over! Not a total tear down, but a HUGE rehab.

No more Woj bombs for a while. He has been suspended without pay by espn.

This is a shocker. I hope he returns soon. There goes most of my NBA news.

Indeed we have to do something.

It couldn't come at a worse time with NBA coverage in Orlando starting soon. As far as I know Woj behavior has been exceptional except for two words.

They have a woman down there in Orlando inside the bubble, her name escapes me, but I would think she could fill in for Woj. She also works for ESPN.

@Ronin

I guess those are magic words but I'm not sure the situation didn't warrant a milder punishment.

There goes too big to fail.

Did you mention her name on SC.

 

[Ronin]

Did you mention her name on SC.

That is the only reason I know she exists.lol
She is on SC a lot.

 

[Ronin]

Her name is Malika Andrews.

 

[Mainstreet]

What about Rachel Nichols. Does she cover the NBA as well for ESPN?

I'm not familiar with Malika Andrews.

I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that it is hard to be a professional when someone is instigating, like the Senator was doing.

Sucks but none of these people have the inside sources that Woj has.
Maybe Adam Schefter can do double duty again?

That's what I thought the Senator was doing and Woj got tired of it.

This is where I was hoping Shams Charania would step up to fill the gap. Lot's of people have experienced layoffs at The Athletic though.

@Ronin

I was thinking Adam Schefter mostly covered the NFL but I suppose he could do double duty.

The majority of people freak out when he has covered the nba but it was for a brief time. I think he has been a side line reporter for a couple of games.lol

Woj showed he is very passionate about the NBA.

at least he was the bigger man and apologized for his actioins.

I guess one of your sources, Tim Reynolds might be the man for the job.

No loss at all. That guy is agenda driven and a shill...can’t stand his bs reports.
