JVG out as analyst at ESPN in c/nba@lemmy.world

[–] brokenjumper 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I would to see the NBA pick up national broadcast in a style that Amazon Prime did for Thursday Night Football/ESPN did for Monday Night Football. One serious broadcast and one that is just for the shits and giggles. I kind of dread watching ESPN broadcasts over the local Lakers commentators. To be fair, Stu Lantz is a legend though.

[Charania] RFA Austin Reaves has agreed to return to the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year, $56 million Early Bird maximum contract, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium in c/lakers@lemmy.world

Love it, Reaves has been so fun to watch improve. Hoping he keeps on getting better next year and has the opportunity to really show out.

[Woj] Free agent G Dillon Brooks has agreed on a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets, his agent Mike George of @OneLegacySports tells ESPN. in c/nba@lemmy.world

The Rockets seem like they'll be fun to watch and maybe this pushes them closer to being a play-in team?

[Woj] The Celtics are trading Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies as part of deal, sources tell ESPN. in c/nba@lemmy.world

As a Lakers fan, I hope the Celtics blow it up.

BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a handful of second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps in c/nba@lemmy.world

[–] brokenjumper 1 points 2 years ago

I get that, but there are definitely teams that are desperate to sell more tickets/win more games.

But I guess the Beal contract was pretty bad, I just don't see how they build a viable team from here.

Shams: Lou Williams announces he has retired from basketball in c/nba@lemmy.world

Lou Will was a bucket. Will always remember the entertainment he brought me when he was a Lakers.

I feel like the Wizards could have gotten better offers for Beal than this. Is CP3 just a buyout candidate now?

YSK how to deal with questions about gaps in your employment. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

[–] brokenjumper 35 points 2 years ago

Honestly, a lot of people lie or at least embellish during the hiring process. Hell, company can mislead you about the company culture, scope of responsibilities, and room for advancement. So, it really is in your best interest to put forward the best version of yourself, even if it involves filling in the gaps a bit, as long as it is within reason.
