has any cold weather city really gotten free agents?
even New York has had tough time, usually only gets the second tier guys.
I don't think any cold weather non NY city is not going to be a consistent free agent destination.

You know what I'm saying P?
The High quality groupies ALONE should be attracting dudes to the area.
I don't know man. Hopefully soon they can turn things around.

Weather and lack of historical franchise success are the things I can think of.

She’s tricked off too many uncontested layups for me to think it’s intentional

DC is like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Memphis, Charlotte, Clippers of old etc.
All the trappings of what an NBA player lifestyle is about. But they really just gotta build a consistent winning culture, and have one of THOSE guys.
DC hasn’t had it since Wes Unseld. Think about that. John Wall was the closest, but he’s not that guy. Plus the ownership just don’t seem to have the profile yet, to attract FA talent.
If DC had a Harden, Luka, Ja type cat…plus some pieces in place, and good coaching & a front office that seemed to want to support, they’d be intriguing. But they simply don’t got that.

Angel got no bounce at all, And she’s left hand dominant.
She should do Mikan drills until her arms can’t move.
She’ll be fine tho. Pretty much figured it out at the highest level every -time and dominated.

I really don't think weather plays a role. Guys on ~27 teams don't live in their team's city full time.
A bad team is a bad team. Even when Melo forced his way here, no one followed. Put together a couple years of executing a clear plan to show that the team is on the rise & the rest will fall into place.

My issue with the whole Reese thing is people aren't allowed to have honest discourse about the topic.
If you say one thing about her, you get hit with the hating black women and uplifting white women card. One of my boys in my group chat gets pissed off anytime I post Pro CC and Anti-Reese stuff and he always runs to that same excuse.

So you have to build through the draft & trades, like most champions are built anyway.
So it’s as simple as FO incompetence. You can get a guy but you still have to build around him, e.g. the knicks with Melo vs the knicks with Brunson

Her shot angles suck. Some low IQ attempts too but it’s an adjustment period. She’s going to be solid though

Also, I would never subject myself to listening to a full hour of these NBA player podcasts (I respect myself too much) but of the clips I see on twitter, I can say Teague is by far the best as he doesn't take himself seriously and has the rare ability among these guys to actually laugh at himself.
Also, as much as his platform is xenophobic and toxic, Gil is good at what he does, and understands the "take" economy. Not sure he believes half of what he says but he's good at it, and knows how to frame things well for engagement.

As far as the hot takes, McCants is the star of that show. Followed by Jennings in a distant second.
Paul George has a very good podcast. You should disrespect yourself to listen to his.

That Jackie dude on the PG pod is insufferable. I had to stop listening because of him

Gils Arena takes are brain dead.
But it's obviously very well produced show. Gil is a mega talented broadcaster.
The host is good, Rashad McCants is a great foil. Are a lot of the takes nonsense? Yah but It's highly entertaining well produced nonesense.

I’m sure I’d find a lot of episodes of the various NBA player podcasts interesting, but I feel like I already devote a lot of my free time to consuming NBA-related content and don’t need to add more. That’s just me though.
If other people can’t get enough NBA content and want to listen to all the podcasts, cool.

Thing is, as a basketball fan, I would prefer Legler
But on-air chemistry with Doris Burke is probably way more important for the product than anything else

I heard ESPN is looking to continue with more Summer League vibes for their NBA Finals presentation
So they'll probably go with Grant Hill

Breen+Legler
Mark Jones+Doris
Rucco+RJ
No need to complicate things. Probably a bad look to demote Doris after a year from the A team, but three people booths suck and she has infinitely more chemistry with Jones.
