Long time coming, always preferred to read DX since it was never behind a pay wall but that may change since they're going to ESPN.

Funny enough he was a poster on Orlando Magic under johng or something like that, maybe he still is. Either way I dont care for ESPN or any mainstream sport news outlet.

Hope it remains free

Wasn't he Bill from Boston?

I'd be shocked if it did, sadly

So, ESPN fired a ton of their long tenured staff just to buyout their competition? I hate this crap.

DX gave fans a real quality experience at analysis of prospects and excellent breakdowns. I'm glad Givony got a promotion, though.

ESPN is simply going to force folks to pay money to get the same things with more sports science videos and that also means more overhyping certain prospects. I'll see a 15 minute breakdown on Zion on SC but a 3 minute video for Romeo Langford.

Typical ESPN nonsense. Ugh.

I despise ESPN even more now, I didn't know that was possible.

Congrats to Givony and Schmitz for getting paid though, it was nice while it lasted.

0 chance I pay to read their content.

This !

I never read ESPN in the past and would never in the future too

Just go to nbadraft.net if you don't want to pay.

Time for nbadraft.net to step up its game.

This isn't good

Why they don't just continue draft-express as a subsidiary of Espn, like bleachereport.

ESPN is moving in the right direction. Replacing all the bad NBA writers/analysts with Woj, Bobby Marks and the guys from DX. People might actually pay for ESPN Insiders now to read quality content...

Good move for Givony and Schmitz and well deserved getting paid... probably not great for fans everywhere...

Aran may have to start shelling out some dough for that.

..can't wait

ESPN is that blackhole which keep swallowing everything around it. First Woj, now draft express. This hurts. Glad man got paid, but this seriously sucks for basketball fans. We will likely not be anymore given same treatment to all players, hype to certain prospects and pushing for them, no more proper breakdown analysis, and this will now become glorified ballmixhopes crap for big network.

It's a good opportunity for someone else out there to replicate what DX did.
