I've been saying it for over a year now. ESPN needs to get Chris Webber from TNT. Michael Wilbon, Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and Bill Simmons would be great.
no pun intended

Wilbon and Magic are gone. But Rose and Simmons are still there..those guys are so bad. Maybe they will hire Jason Collins.

Bill Simmons was fantastic at the draft. They just need to let him be snarky. When you try to turn him into just a stoic talking head you lose everything that has made Bill Simmons by far the biggest sportswriter on the planet.

They need to add Skip Bayless and Stephen A to the Jalen Rose and Bill Simmons duo.

The trainwreck would be unimaginably epic.

Magic was basically the black Jon Gruden. Everybody is awesome and the best

That whole panel needs to be blown up and rebuild. Wilbon is just an insufferable D-bag and spent 95% of his time on air sucking Magic's dick. Magic is the John Madden of NBA. Bill Simmons is awkward and just terrible on TV.

I know. It's too bad because I think they'd be amazing together. Really bring out the best in each other. Just too much history there though.

It's weird how all NBA analysts suck outside of the TNT crew. In the NFL, all of their analysts are more than OK to watch.

ESPN encourages their TV personalities to do lowest common demomenator analysis.

Whatever. Magic's NBA analysis was the equivalent of Bill Cosby's Jell-O pudding commercials.

Maybe for you, I guess you prefer the loud-mouthed entertainers with little basketball knowledge? Whereas I would prefer to listen to Simmons who at least knows his shit.

T-Mac as a replacement?

He was interesting and insightful when he was on First Take few weeks ago.

Gary Payton is already getting paid to analyze the NBA on Fox Sports 1.

The NYDaily News suggested they add Steven A Smith

Magic would be better suited at TNT, where they take the NBA seriously.
