    I wonder if he will get his blog back. If you type in www.truehoop.com it redirects to ESPN.

    People seem to think they're clearing out all of these big nba guys to bring in Woj and the Vertical.

    WOJ would be a fool to do so. ESPN is a dying breed.

    Sports writing is dead. Too many people on twitter can put out the same content minus the trade rumors and insider info.

    Skip and Screaming A Smith seem like they should be working at the DMV. Skip already left didn't he?

    SAS, they're just being nice because he can't do anything else.

    ESPN tried to pass off who declared for the draft as "insider" information. LOL!

    ESPN's NBA coverage died two years ago when Woj was tweeting draft spoilers ten minutes before the show could announce the picks. It's only now that the body has stopped twitching.

    GymRat, I think. Though not this board, unless "this board" means "this community, into the infinite past."
