Idk if its been actually announced, but seems to be verified...very likely only for insiders.  I understand and congratulate but can't say I'm not bummed.

Jonathan Givony  ✔ @DraftExpress
An announcement regarding the future of http://DraftExpress.com : http://www.draftexpress.com . Thank you for your support over the past 14 years.

Awesome.  So, in all likelihood this means they're going to cut down on analysis, focus more on entertainment and social justice, and stick the interesting stuff behind a pay wall, right?

TP for stating exactly what will happen.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

I'm not sure why you had to drag social justice into this, but sure. Not everyone can be Kirk and Callahan :D

Givony built an awesome sight, and put so much into the video analysis.

He is due a big pay day. Kudos to him.

Well, ESPN bought Jayski's as well (a NASCAR site).  They eventually rolled it into their format and now it sucks.  This is too bad, I liked DraftExpress but good for Jonathan!

Yep. If it becomes an Insider thing, I'll just be watching more youtube.

ESPN has certainly made some interesting basketball moves this year.

Congrats to Givony. If it's a pay for content, I guess I'll just go without it. Too bad. It's my first Go To site for draft stuff.

I'm sure eventually the format/content will get ruined but that will probably be years down the road.

There's so much draft content out there for free.  I'm going to pass on the subscription if there is one.

save for the social justice bit, yep, that looks to be the future for draft express. sigh. too bad for so many basketball fans who relied upon DX for information.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
