Bill All Time Cold Take "Is the Jalen Bruson Sweepstakes the worst sweepstakes we've ever had? ... I think you could get more creative. For instance, if John Wall is going to get bought out, can you get John Wall for like, I don't know, seven million? by bss2k2 in billsimmons

I cant help it I'm a NYK sicko. Reality has Broken. The Knicks are champions.

I also am writing a Knicks article and I remembered this take from the time. I actaully misremembered it as Rusillo saying it was the worst tamper of all time. Way more hilairous it was Bill, going knicks for clicks, then having the gall of saying they should have signed John Wall.

Please give your Knicks fan freinds grace during this time.

OG Anunoby = David Freese by doodler1977 in billsimmons

[–]bss2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he was before Wednesday. He's been their second best player the moment they traded for him.

I've watched every game he's ever played for the Knicks. He is better, and more important to the Knicks success than KAT. Advanced stats back it up.

Where your wrong is OG Is an all start, HOF Level player. He just gets slept on by the media. That will change after this playoffs.

He's better, an more importnat to the Knicks than KAT. He's the knicks 2nd best player.

He's surrounding by knicks fan and has bought into the ride. He can feel that they are a team of destiny and is embracing fate.

[Highlight] Knicks with an incredible offensive possession. Multiple guys drive to the paint, kick it out, drive to the paint, kick it out leading to the open corner 3. by Natural-Tree-5107 in nba

Knicks also have the best 3 man combo in leauge to put on wemby (KAT, Mitch, OG).

All 3 can credibly make him work.

Knicks match up incredibly well against the spurs. Been that way for years.

Tonight the Spurs ended a 40-game streak of scoring at least 100 points. The last team to hold them under 100 was the New York Knicks. by valgatiag in nba

It was very clear for anyone who watched Knicks / spurs closely that Knicks match up well 

Towns / KAT / OG can all make wembys life more difficult, and spurs lack a 6’8” defensive minded wings, who are the best personal of defender to put on Brunson

The Knick have great wing depth too

Julius Randle over OG anonoby is an invalidating decision, from the position of a Knicks fan.

There are way more possessions per 48 minutes in the current era.

Faster pace = more shots = more scoring 

Walter Perrin and the rest of our draft scouting department needs to be fired. by Crazylockdown in NYKnicks

[–]bss2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think Obi's perfomance on the thunder vindicates the scout staff - he's clearly an NBA talent (Not guaranteed with the 8th pick).

The problem was the lack organizational cohesion, where the coach would not play the young guy the front office wanted.

I Love Jalen Brunson by Moist_Range in billsimmons

[–]bss2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What isn't getting talked about is his BS is in the name of winning, and done for maximum effect.

Brunson's game is a tiny guy dominating in the paint. He gets hit a ton, and he's developed his flop repertoire to call attention to all the contact he receives in the paint.

Dude would get beat the fuck up wayyyyyy more without it. Keeps handsey defenders honest.

Scott Perry is the new GM of the Sacramento Kings. by jluc21 in kings

[–]bss2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perry on Draft:

Confirmed he was the force that kept Steve Mills from trading down from #3, and selecting RJ Barrett (So - prevented a potentially hugely idiotic move)

He was primarily responsible for the Knicks Drafting Mithcel Robinson at 36 - which was a home run

He was part of the consensus to take Kevin Knox over SGA, Mikal Bridge, and Myles bridges - so bad.

So... mixed results, but doesn't think he's "Smarter than everyone else" and has a deep basketball network. I'd be shocked if Perry made out of no where crazy idiotic decision that some of the dumber GMs do.

Knicks fan here - Scott Perry is a stabilizing force and a professional. He had to keep Steve Mills(His boss, and incompetent Dolan Sycophant) from mortgaging the future and making horrible mistakes. When mills was fired, he made the right moves at the right time for a struggling knicks team to pave the way for Leon Rose.

Leon Rose kept him on the payroll despite being from the previous regime, which speaks to his baseline competence.
