For years, Adrian Wojnarowski was the most respected insider when it came to the NBA.
He took Shams Charania under his wing long before they turned into foes.
But even when Shams beat him to a story, which didn’t happen often, it always seemed like his mentor had the last word.
Now, Woj has walked away from journalism, its never-ending hours and perennial grind, to sit back and enjoy life.
Needless to say, that left a massive void among NBA fans, and ESPN needs to find a replacement.
Of course, there’s no shortage of potential candidates to take the reins.
As a matter of fact, it seems like his NFL counterpart, Adam Schefter, could even be a potential candidate.
According to a report by Front Office Sports, Schefter could be in the mix to become the network’s ultimate insider, a two-headed monster sharing the inside scoops on the two most popular sports in the nation.

The NBA and NFL seasons go on at the same time for months, so Schefter would have quite a lot on his plate if this were to go down.
The race for the top will have plenty of candidates.
Charania will become a free agent, while Brian Windhorst and Chris Haynes are also figured to be in the mix.
Schefter, on the other hand, would have unparalleled pull in the sports giant if they were to choose him, and this will be a very interesting story that’s most definitely worth following quite closely.
