Bill Simmons’s “One More Time” NBA Teams | The Bill Simmons Podcast

[@Crystar500]

Bill and Ryen's chemistry as podcasters is very obvious in this clip, the way they crack jokes and etc. Love to see it.

[@BabylonGateLA]

I just love that Ryen is not afraid of calling Bill’s BS and bias sometimes unlike most Ringer employees who just agree with everything he says!

[@brandancarroll6936]

I actually enjoy that Bill makes everything about lists or drafts it’s an intriguing concept

[@SmartWentCrazy.]

Haha and we all love it. I think Bill Simmons might be the most relatable absurdly rich guy in the world. He just lives to make bullshit drafts with the boys.

Cause it’s a discussion where he can say what he wants without being directly contradicted or argued against.

[@onedone2011]

your Mom : UNDRAFTED although easy to draft behind

[@asifseriously]

The actor Ryen is talking about at the start is "Dabney Coleman". The movie is "Short TIme" from 1990.

[@David-iv6je]

Nice! Got horrible reviews though....

[@justinamerican8200]

It also wasn't about retirement. He thought he was terminally ill and his illness wasn't covered by his life insurance policy, so he was trying to die in the line of duty so his family would get the insurance money.

[@dblackesquire]

​@@justinamerican8200so it was also about a terrible American healthcare system.

[@Metawrecker]

“He’s a white guy, he’s around” that’s a hell of a description 😂

[@exitscreaming4637]

Well that was in response to Bill asking if it were Denzel Washington

[@MrOneanddone91]

I'm surprised Bill didn't turn this into a draft Edit: 6:13 I spoke too soon 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@janicelgo4522]

😂😂😂😂

[@David-iv6je]

Clippers season tickets, Jayson Tatum comparisons. These demand time stamps in the comments. Well done.

[@stanklepoot]

The actor in question is Dabney Coleman, whose list of credits is enormous and includes quite a few notable movies. This particular movie is called Short Time. The basic gist of the movie is that he's a cop who finds out he's dying, and that the payout for his family will be much bigger if he dies in the line of duty. So, he keeps putting himself in increasingly deadly situations, only to keep surviving and being hailed a hero. It being a comedy, it turns out that he's not actually dying. In Ryen's defense: Dabney Coleman is really white, has been in a ton of movies and tv shows, has been both a lead and supporting actor, was the lead in this film, and many of his roles in more prominent projects come as the supporting actor. lol.

[@mazengwe28]

People in the comments mentioned the movie Russillo was talking about (Short time) but almost every heist movie usually comes down to "One last time', or" one last con". Here are a few examples: Ocean's 11, Heat, Fast Five, The Italian Job, Bank Job, any Mission Impossible, and The Score.

[@russellst.martin4255]

Side note, is there a term yet for when a player's front and back jersey combine to make a common phrase (e.g. Mikael with Brooklyn Bridges)? I ask because we got a new one on draft night with Anthony (Black Magic). Seems like it'd be a Simmons type thing to name

[@JuanCarlos-km5wp]

Na that's The Starters at No Dunks

[@nineteenct]

As a Pels fan, hearing Ryen say “can we have Jaxson Hayes’ weird ass?” made me bust out laughing lol This is for sure the last year my fandom could survive if Zion isn’t available for the postseason. I just hate how seemingly unserious it is. If he wasn’t a literal MVP talent he’d be out the door for sure

[@mxfilms9738]

Well yeah that’s the reason a lot of guys are able to get away with stuff. Pels were number 1 in the west when he got hurt.

[@withalittlehelpfrom3]

Tbh: even at the worst of Ja Morant’s behavior, I still want him over Zion. Both great MVP caliber talents who are wasting their opportunities, but one has shown he’s serious about the postseason and staying healthy. I like Zion, and hope he turns it around. But it seems like his problems are both on and off court, while Ja’s are just off court

[@bencrabtree5647]

Anyone that rates Jaxson Hayes highly clearly didn’t watch any pelicans basketball

[@Dont-Ask-Me-My-Name]

Vucevic at the time of the trade: 25pts 12reb 4ast FG% 48.0 3P% 40.6 while shooting 6.5 triples nightly. Of course you do that trade

[@Mn952]

17:02 love Ryen's take here. This is how I felt about the Gobert trade as a twolves fan listening to simmons podcast

[@maxwatkins7032]

Ye but timberwolves have a real chance of winning a title one day and u just fucked it off

[@micahclawrence]

It’s so bad. They gave up all their firsts and basically tied their hands to moving Towns. I think they should move KAT to Toronto for Siakam or OG. And they gotta get picks.

[@usersdkelley]

Prime Russillo....firing on all cylinders here. Reminds me of The Town Rewatchables, or 2001 Iverson. Bill just pass the ball and let him cook.

[@bacardibum]

bill did that and then ryen got drunk and broke into a stranger's home

[@mattw161]

Hahahha yeah Russillo on "The Town" rewatchable is fucking incredible

[@matthewsadler5398]

Why is this not called ‘last dance teams’

[@bikramarora1819]

That should only reserved for teams that were dynasties like the Bulls and the Warriors, not team like the Clippers lmao.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

A last dance is usually referred to when there’s been a ton of success beforehand but these teams are the opposite of that

[@scottwesley5018]

Cause these teams havent had a first dance yet

[@chrish2112]

I'm kind of impressed by how stupid this question is.

[@matthewsadler5398]

Glad you’re impressed and yeh good point all of you. Didn’t think much about it clearly

[@josephmatthews7698]

Id love to see a league where cap space rolls over instead of use it or lose it. We'd see some amazing basketball as a result.

[@luismurillo9791]

Nah too many teams would tank for years and leave good players out of the league.

[@joshhutchins6747]

It might be really cool to just have an actual cap and penalties for tanking too

[@garrettareiss]

I'm a denver fan and I don't see them having a ton of wins next year. I think we are probably a 3 seed and about 52-54 wins again just because they think they can turn it on. We will see next postseason tho.

Ingram is the most underrated player I've ever seen in my 20 years of watching nba basketball no one talks about the dude and he's a scorer whose improved his defense and playmakijg every year I forgot about Chauncey Billips he's more underrated point still stand Ingram is underrated

[@aaronphdbdnd5535]

Or the spurs being asked four five years straight that they were too old What has Ingram done? Not an all star not especially healthy and meek personality

[@hoppy23]

@aaronphdbdnd5535 why is having a meek personality a negative thing ? He's averaged over 22 ppg on good efficiency 4 years in a row and hit 24 ppg 3 of those years while averaging more assist each of the last 4 years he's not a superstar but you don't have to be a superstar to be underrated

[@areyou4realbruh]

“Falling Down” was a great last day before retirement flick.

[@melkjeyydee]

bill if u haven’t already, do a “best nba contracts” draft

[@vimalmurthy3665]

Bill in my opinion is overstating how important it is to field a quality team in the Intuit Dome's opening season. Only about 30 years ago the Orioles created their stadium in Camden Yards. This ushered in a whole new area of "modern retro-" ballparks which initially were filled at capacity even though the various teams might have been mediocre. OF COURSE the Intuit Dome will sell out in its first year for novelty alone, regardless of team success. You could have a discussion about sustaining the attendance down the road though and that is more of a fair concern. Also his comparison of the Clippers to the Kings (I presume NHL) is off = nobody in Los Angeles hates the Kings…

[@David-iv6je]

Yeah but those "modern retro" parks really hit the nostalgia "take me out to the ballpark" vibe more than anything I've ever seen in sports. BS might be right about the new Clips facility. Becoming a lottery team might be toxic. Need to hook those fans. I'm betting they have some marketing study that supports the BS take. And hey, did you know Simmons has Clippers season tickets?

[@vimalmurthy3665]

@@David-iv6je LOL BS mentions that all the time. But I do go back to the "new stadium novelty" that can fill an arena. I mean the way Ballmer sells it (Toilets! Toilets! Toilets!), the Intuit Dome could be to NBA arenas what Camden Yards was to 1990s baseball parks. And it is somewhat funny that you mention marketing = with all the local negative energy that surrounds LAC (though not completely of their own doing), why on earth would Ballmer insist on staying in the area? Go somewhere that you would have a welcoming fan base IN TOTALITY

[@GeronimoPlaz]

He's not saying it's right. He's just saying ownership will be heavily considering that. He's probably right.

[@EmanCollins]

As a Daft Punk fan, I appreciate Russillo's joke. 🤣🤣

[@frankenviews4069]

As far as the Clippers are concerned, they have a playoff team led by Westbrook without Kawhi and George in the mix. Either trade the 2 vet stars for 2 younger stars or borderline All Star 4 role players. Either way, they have to compliment Russ within the Clippers system

[@K2MNI]

As a Raptors fan we're definitely a "One More Time" team. Traded away next year's first round pick for Poeltl so we're kind of forced to try and contend. The roster doesn't fit together since the best 5 players currently under contract can't shoot or can't create their own shot. The team has a ceiling of being the 5th seed since we're definitely worse than Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami and arguably worse than Cleveland and New York too. More than likely will be competing for a play-in spot with the likes of Atlanta, Chicago, Orlando and Detroit.

[@andrewshandle]

Just comes down to if FvV comes back. Not sure _why_ they'd run it back to be honest, the team isn't good enough to compete for the top 4 seeds and OG, Pascal and FvV are just going to get more expensive. We're a year away from the 5 year rule where we can start asking "Are we sure Masai is a good Team President?"

[@atdeacon]

Dabney Coleman's movie Short Time kinda started that genre of movies

[@johnplacca4746]

Smart is a good passer. In todays nba any willingness to pass is a commodity these days.

[@andrewshandle]

Smart is a good passer, in that when he's not playing hero ball himself and jacking up bad 3s early in the clock, he will occasionally pass. ;)

[@BloomsArchitect]

Good points here. But I still think banana goes best with strawberry in a smoothie. It's simply synergistic.

[@nkrumansantos1794]

Paul George for Dame makes a lot of sense for both sides.

[@treytholen873]

Vuc gets alot of hate but he's the most important player on chicago. They just don't use him enough

[@Bewbscueser]

As a lifelong Bulls fan I hated the Vuc trade the second it happened. I get Russillo's point about not every move needing to be in aid of winning a ring but I think that dynamic varies by market. Bulls fans that were around during the Jordan era just do not care about a ceiling of making the second round. Bulls fans who weren't around during the Jordan era have lived it vicariously via KZbin and do not care about a ceiling of making the second round. This isn't Sacramento or Indiana. I'm not trying to be elitist I'm just pointing out what the conversation around this team is locally. The other failure I feel compelled to discuss is player development. Markkanen and Carter left town and immediately blossomed into highly useful players. Throw in the lack of development shown by Patrick Williams and it's no fun being a Bulls fan. They intend to re-sign Vuc which is like trying to jerk off while wearing an oven mitt. This team is stagnant and worst of all boring. Perhaps this is the Karmic cost of the Jordan era...except it isn't. It's the very practical cost of shitty management and ownership.

[@Em4gdn1m]

Players in NBA history with a true no-trade clause John Stockton David Robinson Kobe Bryant Tim Duncan Dirk Nowitzki Kevin Garnett Carmelo Anthony Dwyane Wade LeBron James Bradley Beal All-time greats, and then Bradley Beal.

[@dblackesquire]

Dabney Coleman was the actor I think. He believes he has a terminal illness and tries to get killed in the line of duty before he retires. After narrowly surviving several heroic acts, he learns he's perfectly healthy. Because...late 80s.

[@theDRIPg0d]

Bill simmons you actually said " well they feel like it's a dynasty " are you kidding me?? 4 rings in 8 years. Went to the finals 6 times in those 8 years. What a GOOF!! It's a dynasty and it's still going.

[@becameabird]

i didnt know how much i loved you

[@nocturne311]

The concerns about losing Smart because "he was Boston's best passer" are a little silly to me. Yes, Smart was the Celtics best passer... by default. Did he regularly drive and kick? No. So, what are we really talking about? Would you prefer another season of Boston moving the ball around the arc like a hot potato until that results in a somewhat less contested three-point opportunity, or would you like to see Porzingis utilized in post-up situations that could result in doubles leading to much more open looks and easy baskets if the double doesn't come? Boston needed to change the structure of its offense, and acquiring Porzingis does that for them.

[@andrewshandle]

How does the Celtics qualify after they traded their 3rd best player and brought in a new guy making like 36M a year?

[@anthonymock9717]

Agreed

[@ChaunceyGardenr]

Smart ≠ top 3

[@andrewshandle]

@@ChaunceyGardenr but KP most definitely is. So that alone means they don't qualify for "run it back" status.

[@dsantifit]

I think with a healthy Lonzo Ball the Bulls can be a top 4 EC team possibly better. Prior to Lonzo getting hurt in not last season but the year before Bulls were a top 3 or 4 team in the East. Lonzo is like the oil to a car for the Bulls with his infectious ball movement and being a good defender he’s exactly what they miss as they have two bonafide wing scorers in Lavine and Derozan. I want to see them fully healthy, they were really fun to watch with Lonzo going up and down the court!

[@offroadkings379]

Doesn't Lonzo need experimental surgery to get healthy? I think a healthy Lonzo might not be possible.

[@X5J2UY]

Lonzo is a great role player, but he isn't turning a play-in team into a top 4 team by himself, lol. Vuc is a terrible defender and streaky scorer, DeRozan and Lavine have always struggled in the playoffs when defenses can be more physical

[@rashadellison9593]

Trae is not our Patrick Ewing at all

[@David-iv6je]

Poole is going to going to be a catastrophe in DC. One of the biggest beneficiaries of teammate gravity and is an awful defender. His efficiency will plummet even if the counting stats are still there. Warriors were brilliant to move him. Draymond broke his game. Zion's lower body will never hold up. He refuses to stop pumping up his shoulders and his lower body is not nearly strong enough. Yeah, we get it. Leg days suck and biscuits and gravy taste great. Man needs more leg days and the Bruce Lee workout up top.

Brooklyn would like a word. The Clippers at least made the WCF for the first time ever. Brooklyn won just one playoff series and completely self combusted, the only real saving grace is the new Suns' owner is crazy and pulled the trigger on that insane KD trade.
