@@youknowball its at 2:52:00 of the bleacher report 2018 NBA draft live stream, but if you search on youtube "Terry Rozier calls to Danny Ainge on live show to ask him about Celtics' pick" a Timi clip of it is there.... its fantastic, Terry calls Ainge when Philly was on the clock and asks him who the Celtics were going to pick
I have a TON of stories from this draft and from 2019. I was working for Florida State basketball at the time, so we played Marvin Bagley, Wendell Carter, Zion, Ja, etc. We even recruited Kevin Knox and had him on a visit because one of his parents went to FSU. Fun times
@@Joeshiesty286 Honestly though I genuinely don't feel like we lost the trade as a Hawks fan. We got an all-star level player that brought us to the conference finals his 3rd season. We just have to build around him better. Luka's team missed the playoffs the year before because they didn't build well around them. Role players are much more important now.

I live in Kentucky and am a huge UK fan… hearing Bill namedrop Matt Jones from KSR was insane. It’s the worst kept secret in KY that Jones is an absolute asshole (I have friends who worked for him who have horror stories) who basically hit the SEO lottery and was loud enough to become a media guy here. He’s an idiot who knows very little, so not shocked Simmons would trust him in his early peak (around this time) but drop him soon after. Actually makes me like BS more that he detached
What has Luka done other than run off two very good teammates (Brunson, KP) and be a ball dominant player who is HORRIBLE defensively?!?!?!? Not only didn't he lead his country to a medal in the Paris Olympics, but Slovenia didn't even qualify for the Olympics 😅😅
Aight I’m taking the troll bait. He carried them in the Tokyo Olympics and was injured for Paris and had a much worse roster. He walked into the NBA being a borderline HOFer.
@JonathanWoodall Again, he's HORRIBLE defensively. Give most NBA players the usage rate that Luka has and they will put up numbers. Sure, the Mavericks lucked up and made it to the Finals this year, but last year Luka couldn't even lead the Mavericks to the play-in tournament let alone the playoffs. Luka isn't a leader and other good players don't wanna play with blud. The ONLY reason why Kyrie is playing with him is because he literally had no other options 😅😅🤣🤣
@bubbastrick5377 Mavericks making it to the Finals was an absolute fluke. See how easily the Celtics disposed of them...that's because no team with a star player as bad defensively as Luka is will ever win a ring 😅😅🤣🤣
RIP Tjarks
Just reread “Does my son know you” the other day. Incredible piece and incredible writer. RIP
He was the best of us ❤️

Ngl the ringer staff was stacked. Bill Simmons has an eye for talent.
Pretty crazy how much talent the ringer had back then. Love this content btw
Stacked the 2017 warriors
needed to pull up the bleacher report draft clip of when Terry Rozier called Danny Ainge to see who the Celtics were going to draft
Lol i was not familiar with this

Crazy the amount of talent the ringer had in that room
i really like you guys. i’m into the pod. this is a great idea for videos.
HR Head for the Ringer is basically the Sam Presti of Sports Media. Look at all that talent, my God.
Not to mention the hires they've made recently. (I'm a J. Kyle Mann stan)
Luka was obvious back then as the best. It was crazy he didn’t go number 1.
Bill had an all time take comparing his shirtless son to Mo Bamba going #5 overall
Baby KOC! And also rip Tjarks.
Jason’s laugh gets me everytime
KOC as a brutal track record when it comes to picks. I remember when he was going all in for Killian Hayes.😊
I love the slop
Bill's wearing my Kobe elites, those were great indoor shoes. The takes are spot on amazing.
I'm a simple man. I see @slightlybiased I click "play"
Doncic not going top 2 is insane...this isn't the melo lebron bosh wade draft lol...
And even then the can’t miss European prospect went second, granted he’s the reason they stopped getting picked high for a decade, but still 🤷🏿♂️😂
Whoever put wormtail front and center is fucking wild. KOC has always been bad
I'm so happy Trae was good enough to make sure this trade wasn't an utter disaster! Luka's better but Trae is elite too!
Still very very very bad
@@tomritaine9575still miles better than ayton.
As a mavs fan, the hawks won the trade cuz they got Cam Reddish.

@@dguy2hawks2You got an all star when you could have had an all time great. That equals lost trade.
I'm totally into this but I can't hear a damn word that the guys are saying at the 2018 draft. Can you please turn the level of that up?
So the Simmons podium is:
G -> 2013
S -> 2018
B -> 2014?
i think this is accurate. the sga miss is the only huge blemish.
Trae young was going to go to Kentucky but Quade Green committed first so Trae went to Oklahoma, would've been Trae
SGA
Hami Diallo
Kevin Knox
PJ Washington
Nick Richards (freshman so he wasn't good
Jarred Vanderbilt
Wenyen Grabriel
Bruh that’s an absolutely stacked team lol
hornets traded shai for bridges 😢
Skinny zach Randolph..
Mavs traded for dirk...bucks drafted him
as is tradition
I guess I’m crazy. But, I’m still in on Fultz, at least as being a contributor to winning in the league

KP to the Knicks
Off by a lot of years
so you guys are the dorks always crying about KOC
The overuse of "literally" is annoying.
