NEWS: Mark Jackson is now out at ESPN, according to sources.https://t.co/8AhPLrR6U4

— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) July 31, 2023

we are free!!!

amen

sadly this opens the door for him at tnt doesnt it

Sources said that plans to put him on the network’s “B” team alongside Mark Jones fell apart in part due to the hope of getting more game reps for JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson.

it's pretty funny that ESPN singled jackson out like this -- there is some dignity in "you make too much money & we have to lay you off." but instead he got "we would like to publicly humiliate you by keeping you employed but demoting you"

yeah kind of odd

hand down man down

by all accounts he seems like a horrible person maybe they hate him

some stupid GM going to hire him to coach

I really don't mind JJ. RJ on the other hand, his analysis isn't terrible but there's a smarminess in his voice I just cannot abide

JJ needs someone fun to partner with hes a bit self serious. solid analysis tho

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/8/7/23819588/tyler-herro-ceiling-miami-heat-damian-lillard-trade

apparently herro is one of only 17 players since 2000 whose measurements are available with a wingspan shorter than his height

lol trotting out tyler herro wingspan stats is ultimate summer doldrums content… yeah we know the guy can’t play defense thank u zach

seems like the ideal role for him three point specialist who then has the ability to attack when he has an advantage, like he doesnt stack up against lead guards as far as getting to the rim but compared to other pure shooters hes amazing, so if you use him like kyle korver who can dribble seems like hed be pretty tough to deal with, obvs thats not as valuable as a lead guard but maybe thats just not him

how much difference btwn huerter and herro nowadays?

i enjoyed the list of short arm guys, not a great track record there.

the white mans burden

got curious and am proud to report i don't fall into that group

i still can't play defense though

the ringer being so invested in the heat not getting dame that they're comparing tyler herro to jon scheyer and Martynas Andriuskevicius... the hate is so real

kelly o being on that list is the least surprising

guess JJ is the best case scenario (but still an overall liability on D)

herro is already much better than redick so i guess the best case scenario is herro

desmond bane also notoriously has shorter arms than his height, maybe he didn't get measured at the combine or something so he wasn't included but from what i see he's 6' 6" w/ a 6' 4" wingspan. so maybe the best case scenario is him

we need the full wingspan data set what are they hiding from us

just measured my wingspan too and I'm also not in the dreaded short arm club, unlike famous basketball player tyler herro

banes arms look like theyre 6" shorter than his height

the great part about working from home is you don't have to work you can spend time having your daughter help measure your wingspan because of a ringer article

slightly higher than my height, analytics guys love me

heard the wolves have a 15th roster spot open for you

already in talks w/my agent

I’m slightly below average height but according to my measurements I have the same wingspan as wembanyana? weird that I never noticed

he always looks skinnier in europe idk why maybe he just starts chugging bbq as soon as he gets to texas

seems like shams is saying that miami is putting its best offer on the table but theres still no traction, i guess theres no harm in portland waiting for now but i was thinking maybe miami was holding out trying to finesse a better deal

Where things stand with Damian Lillard: As The Athletic reported last week, there still is no traction from the Portland Trail Blazers on a Lillard trade, and the All-NBA star’s mindset is steadfast toward desiring a trade only to the Miami Heat. Ever since early July, sources involved in discussions who are unauthorized to speak on the matter said the Heat have been prepared to offer the Trail Blazers a package including three to four first-round picks — with Tyler Herro going to a third team for assets — expiring contracts, a young player such as Nikola Jović and potentially second-round picks and draft swaps.

The Blazer GM will almost certainly capitulate and accept Miami's offer before training camps end, but by sitting on the deal he's signaling as hard as he can that he has absolutely no choice in the matter and can't be blamed for not getting a bigger haul.

funny thing is miamis offer might be the best out there even without dame throwing a fit, it also might not be tho, feel like team dame couldve tried to play the angles a lil better

what would be really interesting is if the blazers are actually mad and feeling vindictive, very unlikely but not impossible

getting publicly reprimanded by the league was not ideal

my read is cronin thought the gobert trade equivalent would simply materialize and it ... has not

it would be nice to get a gobert trade of ones own

how about a trade FOR Gilbert? 🙂

any hint of vindictiveness would only backfire on the blazers. pdx already is seen as an undesirable destination among nba players. why add a reputation for vindictiveness to that? especially since dame's reputation around the league for team loyalty is sky high.

i'm not sure dame's reputation for team loyalty is what it once was

agreed that trying to fuck dame over wouldnt be the smart thing for the blazers to do, but sometimes people just get mad

i'm not sure dame's reputation for team loyalty is what it once was

maybe among management, but players would see it differently.

the other aspect that could work in concert with being mad is thinking they can wait dame out until he agrees to go somewhere else for a better deal

i dont know why he just didnt make a list of teams he was willing to go to of which miami was able to make the best offer, it might not have really changed anything but def wouldve been better pr wise, couldve said clippers suns mavs bucks heat or some such
