RIP Yahoo sports. First Woj left, now Shams
Rest in peace Yahoo Sports, first lost Woj, now lost Shams

Bobby Marks also left together with Woj.
I think it's common sense that Yahoo is just ditCHIng the NBA thing.
(Labor and Capital Agreement Analysis) Expert Bobby Marks also left with Woj last year.
I think it is a consensus that Yahoo Sports’ plan to give up the NBA.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— keep anyone. They've got Woj and Shams
They have always been very strong in choosing people, but they just can't keep them. They used to have both Woj and Shams.
[–]Clipperseeisner 22 points 18 hours ago
but they drafted Woj before they started tanking, right? IDK when they got Shams, but they clearly didn't try to get any free agents to build a core around their stars.
But they actually started to play badly before choosing Woj. I don't know when they signed Shams again, but they obviously didn't build a media lineup around their core group.

How are small media organizations like Yahoo supposed to succeed if big organizations like The Athletics steal all their best Insiders!!!
After big media like The Athletic snatched away the best reporters, how can a small media like Yahoo succeed?

Adam Silver pls
Xiao Hua is time to take action, please!

Journalism reason
News reason?
[–][LAL] Robert SacreKsanti79 points 18 hours ago
To be fair, the Athletic has pretty explicitly been overpaying writers - being a relatively small startup has allowed them to do that because they're flush with VC cash and so are being super aggressive in getting guys - even by paying well above market value.
Yahoo sports don't have VC funding and an Expansion mandate
reasoning, The Athletic has been giving their writers too high salaries, but as a fledgling company, they have received a large venture capital , so they are very aggressive in signing people, even if they sign people at prices that exceed market value.
Yahoo Sports does not have venture capital and expansion licenses.

Not even the darkest timeline yet brothers......
/u/SEAinLA to join ESPN team up with WOJ after losing despite his 3 bombs to 1 bomb lead on them in the 2020 NBA off-season.
Ex-Reddit insider u/SEAinLA reveals his true identity to be none other than NBA-star Kevin Durant.
This is actually not the darkest moment...
The worst thing about
will be: SEAinLA will be turned around when leading Woj 3-1 in the offseason in 2020, and then announced that he will join ESPN and Woj teams; (Note: SEAinLA, an anonymous Reddit leaker, broke many news before Woj, details:
[Translation Group] Reddit keyboard warrior who beat Woj many times: SEAinLA
, and then SEAinLA revealed his true identity - he is actually Kevin Durant.

You’re a normal redditor. Move on. Find new slant, KD.
You are just an ordinary keyboard warrior, don't mess around KD
[–]ClippersSuckMyLonzoBalls 21 points 17 hours ago
remember how he said that /r/nba went too far with the memes sometimes? Yeah you guys are all doing ittml4
You remember SEAinLA said, sometimes the jokes on Reddit are a bit too much? You are doing this now.
[–]osmanzaksu 12 points 17 hours ago

So now we gotta pay for his updates?
So we have to pay for Shams updates? (The Athletic is a paid reading media)
[–]PelicansGood_NewsEveryone 161 points 21 hours ago
It’s not like his twitter account is going behind a paywall. And I don’t think I’ve ever read one of his actual stories
His Twitter account shouldn’t be charged, but I don’t think I will not read his reports anymore.
[–]RaptorsThe_Natural_Log 67 points 21 hours ago
He writes stories?
Which he still writes novels? (story report, novel)
[–][MIA] Wang ZhizhiVolhar 264 points 21 hours ago
Yeah he's huge in the NBA fanfic scene
Yeah he is the strongest fan writer in the NBA.
