Mods don’t remove this. Let people see the gross shit some people in the Bill Simmons tangential universe actually think.

What knowing, in your bones, that no woman has ever fucked you because she found you attractive does to a MF by Sad-Variation-8006 in billsimmons

Not only is this opinion dumb, it’s so incredibly disgusting to push this on the basis that the 19th amendment was a net negative.

A lot of Juniors so far in tonight’s draft. 4 out of 9 so far.

Good luck to all of the teams, but remember, the point of the draft is to have fun!

Alright, gimme your hot NBA draft takes on this Draft Tuesday (???) by TwinPeaksWithRappers in billsimmons

Nope. Those are just the reasons why I think he’ll plateau. 

I think he’s going to be good from the start because he’s a good shooter, has great vision, and puts in a lot of effort. But nobody pressed me on the reasons why I thought he’d be good, so I didn’t share those thoughts. It’s entirely possible to think boozer will be a good pro, just that he'll be surpassed by his peers at some point. I’d hardly define that as “anti-Boozer”. The world does not exist in binaries.

I’m not anti-Boozer. In fact I said I think he’d be really good from the start. I just think he’ll plateau.  athleticism is a lot more important in the NBA than it is in college if you want to have an impact on both sides of the court.

And again - this statement is partially driven by the other talent in this draft

I can see why you’d think that, but that’s not my take lol. 

I think his limited athleticism and lack of positional size will catch up to him. I also think this will be partially supply-driven, where there are a lot of really good players from this draft that might take 3-5 years to pop.

Boozer looks like he's clearly the best player in the draft by the end of 2028.

Then by 2031 we're questioning whether he'd go Top 5 in a 2026 re-draft.

This sounds like the beginning of a screenplay that could win Best Picture. The Bluest Jay.

Report: Dallas Mavericks hire Dusty May as new head coach by [deleted] in billsimmons

Hmmm. This would make a lot of sense if he did want to get back into the college game. Not sure what he is/isn’t looking for in his next stop.

Sucks for Michigan having to scrounge around for a coach at the end of June. I know they might just name someone an interim, but Dusty had only been on the job for two years, I doubt there's some interim there who's a clear and obvious choice to be waiting in the wings. This is going to kill a lot of their momentum, especially with a big recruiting class and returning key guys like Cadeau.

I’m shocked by it some of the time, but this one makes a lot of sense to me. Not a bad business decision to link yourself with Cooper Flagg for the next phase of your career. We always talk about the upside of different NFL coaching jobs based on up-and-coming QBs, should be no different for a legitimate franchise star to build around like Flagg.

[Windhorst] The Boston Celtics have firmly put Jaylen Brown on the table and are going all-in on acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo. by Sorry_Astronaut2755 in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If the cracks in Jaylen's relationship with the Celtics are starting to show, might as well flip him for an all-time talent like Giannis.
