the NBA lost their best pr guy, they never had to pay him, worked around the clock and got paid by ESPN while posting on Twitter/X. World wide leader right there.

Woj part of the culture. Hope he gave his insiders to a young person.

Sources tell the Athletic that Wojnarowski spoke with Pitaro and Burke Magnus about his decision and that the ESPN executives were surprised by the move.

Woj delivering a final Woj bomb. Going to miss him for sure. Trade deadlines and off-seasons will never be the same.

He's only 55. Would be amazing to see him become an NBA GM in 5 to 10 years.

The stories will get out either way. Teams and agents put out the stories they want to put out. With Woj gone, they will just "leak" to the next contact on their list. I will miss his writing, but the news cycle won't slow a nanosecond.
