Death. Taxes. Bill Simmons drafts.
Facts…been hooked since the Page 2 days
@@fexcabI'm too young for that but respect lol
If they ain’t broke, don’t fix em
Death, Taxes, Bill Simmons drafts, pyramids and mentions of Clippers season tickets.
@@RedPilledDanThe anomaly was not mentioning the Celtics in the first three minutes.
If I ever meet Bill Simmons, I’m buying him a draft beer, because that’s probably his favorite kind of beer.
Boooo
Not sure if I should facepalm or nod in approval. I'm torn.
@@hamsandwich184I’ll admit, probably one of my corniest jokes.
Also, what’s your profile picture?
“I got Russillo here. I was playin with the idea and then it hit me: Draft Beer Draft.”
@@THE_BEAR_JEWI wouldn’t take offense either way.
Did somebody leave a window open? Because I feel a draft
Draft Idea: Best Draft Ideas Draft
My favorite Bill Simmons draft is worst contracts.
😂
You just killed your own drama, though, as this would #1 on the list
Reminds me of when I used to post a bunch of top 10 lists on a message board I frequented back in the day and the mods kept telling me to stop so I posted a top 10 list of top 10 lists
@@RespectProcessWhat kind of topic was the board dedicated to?
Bill should do a draft of The Ringer employees
Just using this comment to say, sorry but 2020 Finals winning coach is the nicest framing of Frank Vogul as possible. That dude always has atrocious offenses. He barely had a good offense with LeBron, Rondo, and AD and Sunscwere terribly coached
We need a Bill Simmons Drafts pyramid.
Top of the top is redraftables or worst contracts.
I don’t know about beyond that
20:14 “I’m sure west coast people are grinding Hawks games at 4pm Pacific Time”- Ryen 😂😂💀😭
these people do exist. i'm on the west coast and i haven't missed a 4pm tip off to a pacers game in 13 years (yes I will be leaving work early today for the 3:30 series clincher!)
If I had a nickel for every Bill Simmons draft I’d be as rich as Bill Simmons
This is either a great compliment, a great insult, or both
Liar
To quote Charles Barkley on KD: "He just seems like a miserable person, man. I call him Mr. Miserable. He's never gonna be happy."
His miserable and he’s a soft, spoiled mamas boy. When he doesn’t get his way he cries like a little baby. So tiresome.
Bill Simmons: OK guys, we’re gonna do the best free-throw warm-up routine draft. Who you got with the number one pick Russillo?😂
Rip Hamilton and Jason Kidd number 2
@@ldeez4375Rick Barry?
@@fortynights1513 great pick
Jeff Hornacek
haliburton
Bradley Beal, who thought that would work? Worst contact before you consider the no-trade, and then he starts to play basketball...
Every year they will find someone to blame to avoid saying anything against KD. Last year it was all Ayton. This year it was all Beal. Never ends.
Ryan gets so excited when it comes time to gossip 😂
"Where's he goona go?"
"He'll see who wins this year."
I can tell how disappointed Bill is in how KD's career has turned out since he got to hang out with him and do those interviews.
If you are into stats and performance, Durant has no shortage of those.
But if you are someone who likes a career with a satisfying narrative, then you’re probably finding Durant’s career more disappointing.
Should make the Hall of Fame on ballot one though, and there’s no shame in that.
@@fortynights1513 "satisfying narrative"? WTF are you talking about. He was in the Finals, leading his team and with an MVP by age 25.... and then he got two fake title nobody should count and embarrassament after embarrassament....
This ain't about "narratives"
@@edgardoMurniaThe fact that his titles feel so cheap and like he took the easy way out are why I say a lot of people find his career unsatisfying.
That’s why I’d say people call him a disappointment.
If Vogel is out, Milwaukee better be calling.
Mat Ishbia gonna hire Tom Izzo next?! 😂
Ishbia 1000% has given Izzo a call
Ishbia dumb billionaire owner moves.
It’s always windy at Bill’s house, there are drafts just everywhere
Nice!
It’s always someone else’s fault. First it was Westbrook, than it was draymond, than it was nash, now it’s Vogel (there more but i think you get the point) why does kd never take accountability? I don’t ever wanna here him talked about in the same breath as magic and bird. Let alone lebron and Jordan.
Why does kd never take accountability? Following the lead of the "other guy". Just like him stacking the deck to get his first 2 rings. .
For real, KD is the shadow of Lebron. And I think History will look upon Lebron's legacy, like we are currently looking upon KD's legacy.
@@shorewall People will look at lebron as the only guy to get close to jordan, he's consensus top 3 all time no debate
i mean thats true westbrick wont win a championship and steve nash was an atrocious coach. vogel's been a scapegoat on second team so there's some merit to it aswell
@@ProMikus the definition of making excuses for the dude.
Russillo: shit, another draft? (Internally)
AYO KD, DON'T YOU REGRET NOT COMING TO THE KNIIIIIIICKS
He might go to the Knicks 😂
Maybe when Patrick played or Clyde and Willis. Outside of then the Knicks have been irrelevant.
Back when he went to BKN? I doubt it. They were still in the shitty Dolan era then. Now they shave turned the corner, but it took Brunson wanting to play on his dad's team and then freakishly leveling up. Besides, does KD play on a lunchpail defensive team like the Knicks?
@@David-iv6je The problem is as we read ad nauseum that these aging stars aren’t what they were. So now they are overpaid, less valuable and can be a pain. Dame is 33, Steph 35, KD 35, LBJ 39 Dray 33. But the rich owners are still tantalized by them and will do anything they can he avoid building up again.
@@charlescohen6140 Exactly. James Dolan find stepped away from basketball decisions, but back in the day he was recruiting guys who had been all stars 5 years before.
Durant is going to be 36 going into next season. Who is giving up more than 2 first rounders and a swap at most? He wasn't even able to get the Suns to one playoff win this offseason.
at this point giving up first rounders for Durant would almost be idiotic
They should just move both. Trading Durant won’t be enough to get them out of salary and draft hell, and having prime Booker on a team struggling to make the playoffs makes no sense. They move Booker to get their future back and then get the sweetener for Durant. Let Beals contract run out while you try to get some draft steals and develop any good young assets you get for Booker and Durant
Bill sounds so sad talking about the state of KD’s career
On paper the guy could have been a top 10 player of all time. I think if he had made smarter moves after GS and chosen a more competent team who would put the right pieces around him instead of just wanting to play with pure hoopers or his headcase bestie he'd be a lot better for it.
Great balance…love you guys together
first! Bill will turn anything into a draft.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Side note: He should revisit the redraftables from 2020 and do some early 2010’s classes.
And we are here for it
@@fortynights1513I've watched them several times. Even notable ones prior to 96, like 84.
I always enjoyed the reality TV drafts, especially when him and the Grantland staff were all in on THE CHALLENGE
@@kb5509The 2020 redraftables series was every draft from 1996-2010. He may have done 84 sometime else down the line, but the 2020 redraftables series was those years.
Either way for 84, most of would probably agree on MJ, Hakeem, Barkley and Stockton being the four best players in that draft in that order; after that it gets more debatable how you’d rank them (Alvin Robertson, Sam Perkins, Otis Thorpe, Kevin Willis, and so on)
Isiah Thomas becoming Suns coach just so I can see Bill’s reaction. Make it happen Ishiba!
Next draft idea. Lack of accountability draft. First pick? Lebron? Durant? Draymond?
Lebron is 39, KD is 35, Draymond is 34
Lmao lebron not taking accountability is hilarious. He’s very open about how 2011 was his fault.
@@misinfluence 13 years ago is your best example. Pretty much says it all. Fires coaches, Buses teammates. Yep you won.
Joel Embid pees sitting down
With his head between his legs
that made me laugh out loud 🤣
And his pee is pink.
I love these drafts
More of a tier list than a draft
"Celebration on the days off...Cotton candy like you read about" Our man Russillo just turned PG in AdamTheWoo and I am fuckin dying!!
The best job ever truly has to be NBA coach who gets fired after one season and still gets paid and can do whatever on gods green earth that he wants. Or coach again
KD needs to go. His demand for the ball to shoot bad off balance 15 footers while at the same time giving off a I don't care attitude is not conducive to winning.
You should try watching basketball sometime
I thought these 2 were stoned or drunk, then I realized I was watching on 0.75 speed
I literally got an nfl draft night ad before watching this video. Thanks bill
I’m glad the media is finally realizing the Heat offer for Dame was the best package of the actual reported offers
Did you not hear them go on to acknowledge Ayton’s play in the 2nd half. When will you folks in Miami admit that you didn’t have the goods.
@@kneelpdx1 Ayton was going to Portland no matter who Portland sent Dame to. Evidenced by the fact that none of the assets used in the Ayton trade came from Milwaukee. So again it comes down to Portland ultimately accepted a trade that got them worse players than what Miami could’ve offered.
herro is garbage. how many more trash seasons of this kid do we need before you realize he's just another jordan poole? "they could have had a backcourt of herro and simons!!!" gtfo.
I don't understand why the Lakers ever got rid of Vogel. Even before the 2020 title, he had the mid 2010s Pacers playing the most competitive ball of anyone in the East against the LeBron led Heat.
The two best basketball sickos
It amazes me how knowledgeable Bill is about basketball, but he still gives KD every excuse in the world.
How? He excused the Thunder situation, yes. Said he didn't agree with the Warriors part but said alright. And then he said he can't defend the rest that KD has done.
You’re confused
How do you not get him wanting to leave the Warriors? Those rings came with a huge, glaring, eye-popping asterisk. Whether he publicly said as much or not, him leaving acknowledged that completely valid criticism. Weakest move by a superstar ever.
Cuz if he got 5-6 rings all as FMVP it wouldn’t have mattered, plus the situation was great. We don’t hold it against Duncan that he played with the best coach ever and 3 hall of famers
@misinfluence You cannot compare that Warriors team with the Spurs. They had won a championship and broken the regular season wins record BEFORE Durant arrived. There's no valid argument that the Spurs win those titles without Duncan.
@@misinfluenceduncan is partly reason why coach pop got that title as well as parker and ginobili. They play for a team and got the results that they wanted.
KD legacy will forever tarnish. His rings and fmvp.
Yes, blame the championship winning coach who had the Suns defense at a respectable level, given that Durant-Booker-Beal had to be on the floor, nothing short of miracle work to get that done, such is life of an NBA coach.
Never forget Philly was praised for giving up Harden for Batum
Addition by subtraction. Giving up Harden allowed Maxey to shine while saving a huge amount of money.
@@timswabb unless you pay the taxes personally what the hell does saving money matter when it's at the expense of talent? Maxey was a 20 ppg scorer last year all of his efficiency went into the toilet as the focal point of opposing defenses. Trading Harden for spare parts was the dumbest move imaginable.
@@isiah675 bruh we one of the richest going into off season. hopefully we do well but we def have the money. and buddy was right, maxey wouldve been like this last year without harden. Harden is one of my fav ever but maxey gets to be truly free now
21:31 sounds like Bill taking a fat rip off a vape 😂
With Jimmy Haslam being Co-Owner of the Bucks now I can see a scenario where he will tell Giannis he want's to blow it all up and rebuild around him and honestly that's probably the best option, the question obviously is will Giannis commit to it. The Dame trade would have worked out better if Bucks GM John Horst didn't ignore the old age issue the year before he made the trade for Dame. He traded Donte Divincenzo for Serge Ibaka, year later traded George Hill, Ibaka, and 3 2nds to Indiana for Jae Crowder in the 4 team Durant trade. He gambled massively and they all turned out to be horrible trades. There's not many trades left they can make to get younger. They need to rebuild the roster this year if Giannis is ok with it, not wait another year before it's too late and Giannis decides to leave/ask out anyways.
those future bucks picks that span the final years of dames deals and the massive rebuild project thereafter are looking sweeter and sweeter with every injury
@@nikpetrovic3877 maybe, Bucks aren’t really a tanking franchise. Not a lot of teams own their own picks anymore and with swaps every where it just doesn’t give teams ability to hold on to them forever if they feel forced to take a swap that’s better before they lose the pick all together from another teams swap. Even in a rebuild without Giannis I doubt the Bucks will ever be a bottom 4 team. 1st rd picks aren’t what they used to be, talent pool coming from college and salary cap tiers has killed the value of a 1st round pick.
Some eastern conference playoff team is gonna steal Brandon Ingram from the pels and absolutely win. He was hobbled and was asked to sacrifice on a team that can’t rely on their best player. 15 FG a game his lowest since LA and his highest FG % at 49 still only 26. I could see Milwaukee or Philly stepping in.
Pels should trade him for one of the Hawks guards, would help both teams a lot imo
@@pipohemm8726 I could see that but he probably won’t resign. There is no point in playing for the hawks and waste his prime playing on a play in team.
I wanted to hit the like, but i didn't want to bugger up the triple 777s.
Anyone like the Thunder’s future? Isn’t it ridiculous what is going on?
Bill is pushing for a WWIII Draft for the podcast
Maxey is so much better than Herro...
"Harden destroying Detroit..."? Dallas, no?
How the hell did you afford to get John Luc Picard to co-host with you?
Milwaukee is in the top 2 panic teams why? They have a superstar duo under contract for the next few years plus middleton, and they're only losing this year because of injury.
Zach, AC, Ayo, #11, lift Spurs restrictions, and the next three picks for KD - Credit to Will Gottlieb CHGO
They need to offload Beal if they can save Durant but history doesn’t support that happening.
Milwaukee and Suns will both run it back. There's no getting better by selling an aging piece for scraps. And there's no completely blowing up the team when you have Giannis and Booker who are already stars with years in their contracts.
KD got Monte Williams an $87 million contract.
Mavs shouldn’t be in this . Yeah they don’t have picks but they have luka and Kyrie. Plus bunch of good young talent who are the perfect fits role wise.
Cp3+ Young guys and pics from warriors for booker
Bill thinks James would make the 76ers more interesting. This man really thinks outside the box.
Please bring back the atrocious GM summit. Peak Bill Simmons imo. I know you lost your ability to write, so a podcast is also highly appreciated😂
Jaquez wasn’t involved in the trade talks
Maybe if Cronin had engaged in talks
KD shouldn't be blamed for acquiring Beal, who has the most debilitating contract of all time. I would like to. But it doesn't make sense.
sixers roster is trash outside of maxey and embiid.. tobias too inconsistent lowry washed oubre is a solid roleplayer tho. If i were the sixers id try get PG
Porzingis..tough break for celts..coulda been their year
Imagine Joel on okc
Bill simmons would do a draft of members of his family
Mavs are at least young and can get better with more chemistry and just getting older. Suns, bucks, warriors, clippers don’t have picks and are also old as fuck
What's the old saying? If everywhere you go, all you meet is assholes, maybe you're the asshole?
😂😂😂
Why does Ryen always seem disorganized?
TRADE: Kevin Durant to OKC for Josh Giddey and picks.
LeBron was great on defence this series wtf
It’s hard being the best. Players like ant see KD and they think this is my shot to prove I’m the best. The young guys always give 1000% at kd every time, Especially on defense. Kd just isn’t good enough to overcome people as athletic and want it way more. Ashame, hel stil be a weapon but he needs to go to a team with lead guy or guys already.
Ingram and cj to phx for KD
New Orleans has to be near the top of the list. Assuming Z is the guy--and that is a big assumption--then we learned that Engram and McCollum as the 2nd and 3rd guy do not get it. Every regular season everyone gets hyped about New Orleans: look at the length, athleticism, depth, talent and they are on a win streak! . New Orleans is the up and coming team to watch! But guess what? They are not. They cannot get it done when competition revs up in the playoffs. They simply are not there. McCollum and Engram are simply not big-time players. So either Zion is going to get frustrated and get out or they have to do something. (Of course, the other option is to decide that Zion is not the guy and they should sell while the stock is high after a good finish. Either way, this team is not going to get over the hump.)
KD never came to New York. He came to Brooklyn. He signed with the Mets over The Yankees. Let’s go Knicks 🧡💙♾️
if embiid doesn't demand a trade after this season, I'd be kinda shocked. How many playoff fails is it gonna take to realize it aint happening in philly, time to go elsewhere to at least make a conference finals?
KD the only player this year not his 20’s to score over 2k
i would hope so given he is the "easy money sniper" lol
Honestly i dont think booker can ever be as good as durant at 80 percent of durant let alone 100 percent of durant from 2012 -2021 lol
I never even thought about PG to Orlando that would be elite
You guys have Durant going back to the wrong team. He is going back to OKC. Phenoix gets Hayward and 3 or 4 first-round picks. OKC gets the return of Durant. Imagine Shai, Giddy, Durant, Jalen, and Chet as the starting 5.
Bill made up this list when he went for a walk with his wife.
Coming for my daily dose of bucks hate for no reason lol
Kuminga and Draymond move the needle for me lol if I'm the Suns and the Warriors I'm jumping on it
Suns need to get pods in that deal
never seen a hit piece backfire so hard. fans were ready to blame Vogel, didn't need any incentive. Then Beal has the worse game imaginable -- so bad dude tries to hide under a seat cushion -- fans see the article and start sympathizing with Vogel! funny stuff. miss the days when my Suns kept things "internal". leaking stuff the media like this is such a bad look
Bill thinking PG is better in Orlando then Philly is hilarious. Philly beat the shit out of Orlando in all three games they played them this year and he is a seamless fit in between Joel and Maxey whereas he’s is on Pablo’s corner in Orlando. But that’s Bill being a Celtics fan and always hating on the Sixers
3-12 my Bucks are the least athletic team in the Association.
Nikola vucceic Patrick willams and a future first for kd
You say 2020 NBA champion head coach as if that was a real NBA playoffs. (It wasn't, except to bronsexuals and Lakers fans.)
Except to all the nba players who attest that it was the hardest playoff run they’ve ever experienced.
Their firsthand knowledge trumps your fourth hand opinion
Bulls fan here. Zac and Alex for kd. Bulls trade Nikola for the warriors back up center and a pick. Bulls championship 2025 lol
The one today….or yesterday, rather. His co-host goin on n on about how Imbiid is a bully. Ok guy who played pickup basketball. It was a clumsy foul.
They can trade booker to brooklyn for their own picks and filler
if lebron leaves a team again...holy....
Was wondering what was wrong with you on omitting the LeBron Lakers FA signing. Stop with the five minute pyramids.
Philly is fine. They’re getting rid of a useless player in Tobias Harris and freeing up cap space. I don’t care if there isn’t a clear way to spend that money. They’ll be better than they are now.
Look as a Suns fan the players absolutely deserve blame and the team makeup doesn't work, but I'm sorry Vogel sucks as a coach and absolutely deserves to be fired as well.
Bill typically being a baby when it comes to lebron
Bill is working on his draft of new gimmicks to beat to death
Dear Lord: Please don't let Rob pull the trigger on Trey.
KD,Booker,Nurkic for Brown,Hoilday,Porzingis picks. Who says no 🙂
the suns
The Celtics don't even have a meeting.
@@Weaponator18 they will have beal and brown, two overpaid contracts for 4-5 more years
Is Rusillo on drugs? He just sits there when Bill asks him a question.He's a guest then he's supposed to help and his comments about Orlando are patently insane to the extent I can understand them
I love Bill, but him saying ‘Ant’ all the time is f’ing annoying.
