Bill Simmons Is A Fucking Moron



Bob sent me this Bill Simmons article and thought it was funny because he's secretly anti Celtics and enjoys when people make fun of them, especially my favorite player Rajon Rondo.

Anyways, moving away from Bob and onto someone who knows even less than Bob about basketball, Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons stopped being funny years ago, and I haven't found anything he has done in 7 years funny or even informational. He is a dumbass that is living in LA and trying so hard to stay cool in Boston.

Anyways onto this article, I'll give you the ones that made me spit out my coffee;
Ordway: "Unfortunately, it's been slim pickings for Celtics fans ever since. You drafted poorly; you signed a slew of washed-up veterans; your biggest trade completely backfired; you haven't uncovered a single gem; and you've managed to piss off all the starters on your team by repeatedly throwing them into trade talks, then ADMITTING IT PUBLICLY while calling these players old. It's been quite a run. Let's bring out two of those lousy signings right now … ladies and gentlemen, Keyon Dooling and Chris Wilcox!"

Dooling: "Danny, you could have signed reliable bench players like Kurt Thomas, Reggie Evans, Shannon Brown, Earl Watson, Mike Dunleavy — "

Wilcox: "Or, you could have waited and held your free-agent exceptions for a chance at Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith or maybe even Aaron Brooks

and later on
(Sam) Presti: "If you want to improve this year's team, turn your expiring contracts — KG, Ray, Chris, Keyon and Jermaine — into better players and don't worry about cap space. For instance, let's say you offered KG's expiring contract to Dallas for Shawn Marion and Lamar Odom — Cuban might jump at that because he's desperately trying to clear money for Dwight and Deron this summer. He needs to dump Marion's deal to do it. That's why you see him on Twitter pimping Marion to boost his trade value — it's comical. Turn KG into Odom and Marion and you're better right away — Marion is still one of the league's best defensive players. Plus, you'd save about $4 million in tax money."

Presti: "Anyway, offer them Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal's expiring for Gasol, a deal which saves them $24 million in tax money these next three years. I can't imagine them turning it down. You'd need a point guard, too, so offer Ray to the Clippers for Mo Williams and Eric Bledsoe. They desperately need a two-guard; they might be dumb enough to say yes. If they turn it down, settle on Mo and a future first for Ray, if only because it's always good to own two first-rounders from the league's most jinxed franchise. Mo's contract expires next year, and you can always re-sign Ray this summer."

Presti: "Look at your new team — Gasol, Brandon Bass, Marion, Pierce and Mo Williams as starters, with Odom, Wilcox, Pietrus and Bradley as your first four subs. If Gasol and Odom get going, that's a dangerous 6-seed in the East, right?"


He claims that Danny Ainge hasn't made a good move in 4 years and claims PJ Brown is the last good move he made. That's absolute nonsense, he glossed completely over the fact we heisted Brandon Bass for Glen Davis (who is having the worst year of his career)

Was I a little surprised he spent 3 mil on Chris Wilcox? Hell yea, I hate him, but I get the logic, we need a athletic, big man and he was the only one around. There was nobody else available, and I doubt we would have been happy if we saved the contract for mid season for a chance to get JR Smith, Kenyon Martin or Wilson Chandler.

So now he wants Gasol, Brandon Bass, Marion, Pierce and Mo Williams as starters, with Lamaw Odom being the 6th man, c'mon man? Have you seen Lamar Odom play? He may be having a worst year than Big Baby. With the Pierce/ Marion tandum out there, one of them would have to play the 2 guard, which they would be completely out of place. And Mo Williams mentioned in any situation to lead a team is never a good thing. This guy is a gunner that masks for a point guard, no thank you.

What people are lacking to think is that;
Simmons is a fruitcake
We are in the 5th year of a 3 year plan
A quarter from a 2nd title
Everyone passed on DeAndre Jordan, it ended up being a good pick up by the Clippers
We are old, and it's becoming evident. Although I still hold hope, I get it that there is a great chance we dont win a title this year.

yup, I'm anti-Celtics because I dont think they will win every game.

The article was wrong in a lot of ways, but I did think it was a pretty funny angry rant from an obvious fan.

Bill Simmons is a clown, LA has killed him. I much prefer to read Barstools Prez then listen to his try-to-hard-to-be-funny himself.

DP said...

Bob, you are anti-celtics, and it's not because you don't have them win every game, it's because you take enjoyment in them losing.

BMack said...

I have taken no joy in this season. It fucking sucks, and is really tough to watch. I love KG and Allen and to think this is the way it's going to end really sucks.

DP said...

You have joy in watching black men lose in Boston.

Judging from your points, DP, I'd say you read RedsArmy just as religiously as I do.

About Wilcox (as was noted over there), when teams are shelling out 5M for Oden and 7.5M for Kwame Brown (KWAME FUCKING BROWN!), I'll gladly take The Cox at 3M. It's JO's albatross of a veteran minimum hanging over this team that is an ugly sight. I can't put into words how much I hate Jermaine. FUCKING. HATRED.

Bill Simmons sucks. Plain and simple. It's been brought up several times, but the fact that he omitted the Bass/BBD swap is laughable -- DA single-handedly made Otis Smith look like an even bigger dumbass than he already is...and that is REALLY saying alot.

Passing on D'Andre Jordan (as Bob Ryan point out on SportsTonight) is not a valid argument because there's SO MANY guys out there who've slipped far down the draft only to prove to have the ability of an all-star. That goes for all sports too (except maybe hockey, but there are probably notable exceptions).

The jury is still out on Jeff Green. Sure, we won't know until next year, but I'm still willing to give the kid a chance to see what he can do with a full season alongside Rondo.

BS's obsession with pulling these wacko trades out of his ass is...assinine. As one of the commenters at RA said, this isn't NBA 2K12, you can't just turn off CPU trading and push bullshit by them. However, with that being said, I think guys like Ray, PP, and KG could all be HUGE impact players on other teams...they just suffer when playing together because they're all so damn SLOW and none of them can create their own shot anymore (save for PP). And having a PG like Rondo who cannot consistently hit jumpshots does not help them in this situation. Throw in the fact that they have absolutely no inside presence, and you're left with 4 guys standing outside the paint with a PG who is too afraid to take it to the hole for fear of being fouled (and missing subsequent FTs). Ugly, ugly basketball.

Things need to change, and fast. But I do not have any answers. So depressing.

BMack said...

He mentioned it, just not enough for DP's liking...

Ainge: "Thanks, Tommy. For the record, I just wanted to point out that getting Ray and Big Baby for Delonte and the no. 5 pick was a good trade. I haven't heard that mentioned tonight. Same for trading for Rondo's rights in 2006, or turning Baby into Brandon Bass this winter. I'm also proud that we extended Rondo for $55 million, below his market value, and that we locked up Doc Rivers for five years, right?"

A paragraph is a huge understatement for all of those.

I'm with coobs and the Jeff Green thing, the only thing that scares me is that he's not a RFA and could go elsewhere.

The Perkins trade seems like a bust, but he wouldn't have been back with us this year and his 5 points, 5 rebounds wouldn't have helped our offensive deficiencies.

Like I said, the big three was a 3 year window and we are on year 5. Danny has done the best job he could with the limited resources he's had.

P.S. The Redsarmy guy (whatever one is the bald one) cussed me out at the airport one time. He said something like "I know who you are and I don't like you guys"

Coobs said...

Hahaha what a douchebag.

THIS IS DUELING COUCHES, MUTHA FUCKA!
