Bucher is a freaking moron. He got clowned on LeBatard’s radio show saying Derrick Rose was better than LeBron James a few years ago. No rational person much less a basketball writer would make that statement.

Did it AFTER the East Finals no less. Doesnt make him less of a reporter in my view though. ESPN tries to turn reporters into analysts because they value “insight” and “analysis” over breaking stories or delivering hard news. As a result they have a lot of talented reporters whose limited understanding of the game they cover is exposed (looking at you, John Clayton).

It would be pretty funny if Norby set in to action a false information plan to see who the mole in ESPN is and then fired them based on TBL’s posts.

Jay Bilas would have his legal career to fall back on, at least.

This site needs a post about Victor Cruz.
It is bizarre how many times this happens.

Unlike all the female departures, this is a serious loss for ESPN.

Unlike all the female departures, this is a serious loss for ESPN. He’s an information guy who has sources and personality.

And this is his time of year with that glowing orange tan. For shame.

It is bizarre how many times this happens. Neither post is breaking news, so it shouldn’t be like Lisk and McItyre were stepping on each other toes. I demand answers.

/Does not care.

Sucks about Bucher. Dude is solid.

I imagine they’ll pay his freelance fees to get him back in ahead of the trade deadline.

And it’s not like ESPN is still lacking: Marc Stein, JA Adande, Chad Ford’s balding spot and John Hollinger’s stats.

Yeah. Broussard and “information guy” means that he will get to make more stuff up and tell everyone his “sources” gave him the info.

Warren Moon thinks you’re a racist for saying that.

Does Marc Stein even do anything for ESPN anymore?

This is just conjecture, but the departure of Bucher probably makes shifting Chris Broussard back to being an “information guy” much easier

Yeah. Broussard and “information guy” means that he will get to make more stuff up and tell everyone his “sources” gave him the info. His hit rate on information is about 8%, and I would venture that 8% is pure luck.

Sucks about Bucher. Dude is solid.

How about TBL cold call Trump to get some info on this big news? Or has that been released already?
