ESPN lays off Zach Lowe

[Raptors Realtor]

First Woj leaves now they lay off Zach Lowe, the hits keep on coming...

Lowe’s salary, which was in excess of seven figures annually, was the biggest factor in ESPN’s decision, according to sources briefed on the terms of his contract.

Lowe had been with ESPN for 12 years, first starting at the longform site, Grantland. Besides writing and appearing on TV, he also hosted the “Lowe Post” podcast series.

ESPN’s NBA coverage is in a state of transition with the surprise retirement of insider Adrian Wojnarowski and with the network still figuring out if it will add to its lead broadcast team of Mike Breen and Doris Burke.

A reunion with the Pod Father is likely...

He is definitely going to the Ringer.

Zach probably complained about having to talk about LeBron, the Lakers and Bronny all season long...and the ESPN overlords demanded more Lakers and more LeBron talk.

I **** hate ESPN

[God Squad]

He'll be fine.

Nah him and WOJ were just costing too much for what they provide. I’m sure both were business decisions from ESPNs part.

Yeah, as much as I like Zach Lowe at more than 7 figures annually (10+ mil), an easy business decision to make.

$1M. Not $10M.

Raps should consider hiring him if he interested in working for a team. Wife is from Toronto.

[ATLTimekeeper]

He probably talked about Sacramento one too many times. ESPN can find someone else to go "Lakers, yum. Celtics, yay!" for a 1/10 of the price.

You want him to be our David Kahn?

They got rid of the one guy who’s not a complete moron. ESPN is such trash television.

I wasn't suggesting he be the GM.

Yup. The one guy who was actually worth listening to over there

What role do you think he'd be suitable for? GM seems like a great job for him because he's got dirt on every franchise.

7 figure salary is wild but pretty much guarantees you have a target on your back lol

I always thought it was a bad match because Lowe loves to talk about the NBA as a whole, including the bottom teams while ESPN is basically a Lebron/Lakers/Paul mouthpiece.

[ForeverTFC]

Shocking. Lowe has the highest rated basketball pod in the US and is top 25 across all sports pods.

I hope he gets picked up quickly. Lowe Post is the best pure basketball pod out there...
