Will be interesting to see if he ever ends up on a sideline again.

And Reggie Miller is still somehow employed. Make it make sense.

He will get a gig on TNT is my guess.

This sucks, he’s the best at it. Team him up with SVG and Harlan at TNT. Fire Reggie Miller into the sun

Yeah, if the issue is he's expensive, that's lamentable but understandable. If it's anything else, good luck.

Judging by this thread and the general sentiment, this is a bad move. He’s one of the few analysts that I enjoy. Someone that actually speaks his mind and will have a respectable debate about his opinions.

He was just too real. Tons of other "talent" at ESPN they could have let go before him

His schtick was overdone though he still had good insights here and there & was not afraid to speak his mind. Just wonder who replaces him because they’re rather hard-pressed for talent nowadays

Keeping Mark Jackson and dumping JVG is the most ESPN move ever - love watching TMZ for Sports burn down.

They really gonna put Richard Jefferson in JVG's seat. That's awful.

dam that really sucks, say what u want about mark jackson but I love the trio Breen, JVG and Jackson

Kind of glad the sentiment around here was that this was a bad move. I really like him as a commentator and 95% of the time I agreed with his takes.

Bummer.

Okay so they have to also let go of Eeyore right? That man always sounds so depressing every damn time he talks.

Good. We need any wee bit of coaching competency we can get.

Getting rid of that clown Mark Jackson would have been better.

Jalen too. ESPN cleaning house.

I want Jeff back for coaching, hopefully all the years of analyzing games give him new perspectives to be a better coach

it's ok Stephen A will now also do the play by plays with Mark Jackson
