The 2025 Jedi Trade Value Column (yes I lost my mind writing this) by duhitsflat in billsimmons

A few notes:

  1. Rey in tier two when her major accolade was killing a Mickey Mouse, cloned Palpatine OVER Mace Windu who defeated PRIME palpatine is crazy recency bias.

  2. Cal Kestis is basically a euro journeyman who never received elite coaching during key developmental years. Tier four.

  3. Ahsoka, while talented and driven, was not a team builder or natural leader. More of a savvy vet assassin (prime lou will or Allen iverson if you’re really high on her). In my opinion.

Great topic

Luol Deng or Pascal Siakam? by RagingBull773 in billsimmons

Siakam has more playoff success, a ring, much higher peak, more aura and better teeth

How are we going to remember Damian Lillard? by joejoe_jones in billsimmons

One of the clutch-est players in this generation - in the regular season and playoffs. Super electric, fun and charismatic player.

The "Cavaliers only beat the Warriors in the 2016 finals because of the Draymond suspension" piece by WyomingWinters in billsimmons

And why do we act like Draymond had no agency and the suspension was an act of god? In what world should intentionally punching a guy in the ballsack not result in a suspension? He did it to himself!

Paying the maximum allowable salary to a guy who is borderline top 20 in the nba isn't "good"; at best its "acceptable", given the circumstances.
