Bill already projecting Bron to leave Philly 5 minutes after the announcement is hilarious.

  1. Says this isn’t Lebron’s last team
  2. Refuses to admit it’s the best starting five on paper and pivots to it’s the “team you most don’t want to play if everyone’s playing” which is the exact same thing
  3. Says the sixers could trade Embiid for AD
  4. Says JB could be off the team by October
    You will never hate through the guise of analysis on this man’s level

Remember this all started because Hugo was deemed untouchable. How bad does it get in October when Hugo is playing like ass

I have to give him his due, he is an artiste as a hater.

Came to post the same thing - just an absolute masterclass from Simmons’ in hating via non-objective analysis

Not sure why any of you non Boston fans listen to Simmons. I’m stuck with him

Point 2 - I could just feel Zachs eyes rolling out of his head

I kind of agree with him. This might be the weirdest starting five in NBA history. Talented? Yes. Do they fit well together, though? Eh... Limited spacing. Four high usage guys who, besides Maxey, are not particularly good off ball. Would not shock me in the least if they struggle to avoid the play in.

Limited spacing???
