Join The Jones on the sonic journey that is The Overdose!
On today’s Overdose — which was recorded Thursday afternoon — The Jones discuss the Lakers’ chances at jumping the Jazz for that final Western Conference playoff spot, what some lottery teams have to look forward to, Dwight Howard’s comments about his ex-Magic teammates, the NBA’s most powerful, the idea of expansion, a quick flavor profile of Kobe’s new vino, and which contracts are the most “problematic.”
All that, plus chicken fajitas, Shaquille O’Neal quotes, a tight round of Pun-Gun, and why in the world it’s taking so long to get a preseason game or two in Australia. Honestly. Leigh Ellis is freakin’ out over here, man!

Dwight is a freaking loser. He’s the one that’s garbage, learn how to make a free throw.

As to expansion, I don’t think watering down the talent is that big of an issue in the NBA. Since there are only about a dozen truly impactful franchise players, going from 30 to 32 teams only increases the number of teams in the fretful state trying to figure out how to get one of those players. Adding two new teams would not likely cause any noticeable degradation of state of play among those gormless teams like Detroit or Charlotte, nor would the new teams be any worse IMO. If there are people who want to pay to watch the increasingly competitive race to the bottom, then they might as well expand.

“Serge, I’mblockedup”
What do we call Serge after he learns how to use the force and gets knighted by the Queen?
Sir Chewbacca

For people clamoring for expansion, let’s take a look at the “replacement level” talent that has cluttered the waiver wires this season. Here is your expansion team:
Starting Five:

Donald Sloan, G (NO)
Lazar Hayward, SF (Min)
Hakim Warrick, PF (Orl)
Lou Amundson, PF (Chi)
Juwan Howard, PF (Mia)
that team would struggle to get 7 wins
That’s not how it would work. Please read this, as it has been brought up:

His least favorite commenter on the Jones: Serge Velazquez
Whether or not the president of ESPN is the person directly deciding the majority of the topics and programming on the network, I would put him in the top 3 most influential people in any of the four major sports to acknowledge the vast influence of the network itself on those sports.
