Yup. Surprised that he was able to pull that salary dump off and get back so many first round picks (although the Gerald Green contract will be tough to swallow).

Bill Simmons was absolutely fantastic during the entire draft broadcast - his draft diaries were what I loved most about the NBA draft in years past, but this was so much better - especially in that clip where he just basically stood by what he said and every other anchor at the desk looked like they wanted to hide under the desk. Rivers has to stoop to personal insults because Simmons was absolutely right.
And it's nice Jeremiah Rivers wants to defend his Dad, but he has no right to lecture anyone on who quit on a team and who didn't.

BTW, I loved BS's tweet at the end. Nice way to shup up Whinny Rivers...

I actually thought Simmons brought the entire broadcast down because he's awful on television. The parts where he just rambled on were unbearable and he was leaking by the time he had that on-air spat with Doc Rivers. You can't be a Editeded off fan in that kind of role and I watched the draft with a large group of friends and as a whole, we all wished this was the last time Simmons was part of any NBA-related broadcast. Just brutal.

Just brutal. Agree 100% He actually made Jalen Rose look good by comparison (no small feat).

I lost my love for Simmons about the same time he moved to LA. He was great as a local writer but he hasn't translated nationally.
I have a high bar for NBA draft coverage from the Barkley days. He knew nothing about all the players being picked but he was entertaining.

Well, I believe in aliens... Can't stand B Diddy, though. Drug test him!
