Going to be a lot of high fives

[–] moneyinthebank216@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don please don't do this

[–] Dependent-Two7571@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill Simmons isnt a very smart guy either so take this with a grain of salt

[–] myredditaccount991@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He should go play with Wemby.

[–] QuarterNote44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Heh. Good luck to him.

[–] CardiologicTripe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know why anyone takes Simmons seriously.

[–] RumpOldSteelSkin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Would it be worth it for the Cavs to sell Mitchell and Allen for a short rebuild around Mobley and Garland?

[–] Sbrudda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good for Garland

[–] hossbonaventure15@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

as a Bucks fan I would like to offer pre-emptive condolences to Cavs fans and also Mavs fans. NBA media vultures are now circling Luka and Donovan like the slimy little scavengers they are

[–] dBlock845@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm already tired of the projected trades of Mitchell to the Knicks. We didn't trade for him last year, beat him in the playoffs, why would we want a micro sized two guard lineup?

[–] Soul0103@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Bill still thinks Giannis is leaving to the Knicks lol

[–] PLZ_N_THKS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

The Giannis that just today signed a 3 year extension to stay in Milwaukee? Or a different Giannis

[–] figures@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean dudes sign contracts and ask for trades near immediately not infrequently

[–] Unlucky-Plan-98@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You think that’s happening here

Bill Simmons should retire.

[–] ImTheBestNerd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill Simmons was also convinced Draymond and LeBron were leaving to team up with Luka

[–] lets_talk_basketball@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (49 children)

I'll be honest tho, idk how him and Brunson works as a backcourt.

[–] pickledelbow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Rumor is the sixers are trying to get him as well and I feel the same way about a Mitchell/Maxey backcourt. Defense would be so bad

[–] TdotGdot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Agree. Mitchell is for sure better than Brunson, but not by miles, and they kind of occupy the same space.

For the Knicks maybe you just grab the asset and figure it out later, but agree the fit is suspect.

[–] Prestigious_Cattle72@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Wonder how Mitchell would fit next to Bridges instead

If Donovan came to NY I'd honestly want RJ to move to the 6th man and have Hart start at the 3 since he's a better defender and could help out Brunson and Donovan better, Grimes is too small to start at the 3 full time imo

This happens every time a star is in a small market. We saw the media tried to do it to Giannis as well although he did light flames himself a bit. This happens more in the NBA than in other major sports and it's pretty sickening to witness.

[–] Ill_Celery_7654@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Mitchell absolutely wants to play for a big market team. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I think he’ll stay in Cleveland if the money is right.

[–] TdotGdot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You know, I keep hearing New York, but Miami would be pretty great fit actually.

If true, that trade might be disastrous for the Cavs

[–] NoOne694201994@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill Simmons is a piece of shit and ruined NBA Desktop.

[–] Yankeedud3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (16 children)

I swear media members hate it when stars play for smaller market teams. It really makes me hate paying attention to this sport sometimes when media members act like only 4-5 markets matter.

[–] HamlnHand@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

... because they do hate it. They don't even pretend anymore.

remember when Rusillo said booker wanting out of phoenix was the worst kept secret in the NBA despite booker constantly saying he wants to be a lifer and that he was totally committed to the franchise, the city of phoenix, and AZ as a whole. that was November 2020. Nailed that one lol

[–] Mikegetscalls@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What star player doesn’t say that lol

[–] BillFar9134@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He also says every repeat shown on cable tv is a rewatchable. Another rich American via stupidity catering.

[–] mtnsandmusic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill embraced the era of content creation when the tech overlords took control. He realized he can be more successful creating viral content by talking out his ass than by putting in the work.

[–] Doobie_Howitzer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Send hi mto Philly you cowards

[–] manbeqrpig@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean let’s be real at this point, it would be a bigger suprise to get a star to actually stay long term in todays NBA. Feels like there’s maybe two guys in todays NBA that won’t change teams at some point in there career

[–] MrTape@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's not a secret. donovan is in the same situation he wanted out of, small market with no real shot to win.
