NBA: Is it time to break up the Celtics?

Bill Simmons stops by to talk to Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless about the future of the Celtics. Watch more videos like this at www.espnamerica...

[@joshnyamburi]

Bill was too much for espn 😂

[@ethanennis8]

Too logical

[@jessepinkman3088]

“Ray’s out.” lol legendary

[@elemenop718]

"Handing out his resume to the Miami guys" lmaoooo

[@prestonk6271]

Bill Simmons nailed this prediction. Allen left, KG re-signed and they got a veteran FA (Terry). Funny how almost a year from when it was posted Ainge actually broke up the Celtics via trade with Brooklyn. Kudos to PP convincing KG that it was the right move for Boston.

Now look where we're at. We could have the #1 pick in back to back drafts in 2017 and 2018 as long as brooklyn keeps laying an egg

[@BoosterGoldEarth6]

Wow Paul Pierce delivered another Ring to the Celtics. Without his trade. We wouldn't be able to get Tatum or Brown

[@sammythegreat879]

Bill is the realest sport analysist

[@bjsw534]

It’s because he’s a fan first

[@blakespadaro2313]

Agreed

[@reggiebanksrb10]

Give me Tim legler

[@Enoughsenoughnomas]

I’m on a bill simmons binge, and this is the third clip where bill said something that Steven A contradicted on an entirely false pretense, in this case Marcus Camby, being a veteran minimum guy, and Steven A did his whole “let me get this straight” dramatic build up thing, for something that he probably agreed with under the correct pretense

[@omieg89]

I love Bill. You could tell he was having so much fun with being on their show.

[@danimalplanimal]

:48 wow Bill called it with Ray and Miami

[@bryanhabana123]

Simmons wants to knock stephen a out

[@ntnnot]

Skip wrong yet again.. "Ray Allen out..? I think he's..." Yeah, he was out.

[@davidmckee586]

Honestly Bill Simmons and Stephen A Smith are the two most entertaining analysts in sports. I was hoping there would be a video with the two of them, and I'm glad there is and if you added Jeff Van Gundy to the table then this would be the greatest thing ever.

[@RatedKwong1]

JVG, SAS and BS on a podcast would be an all time classic

[@mickeyriddle8338]

👏

[@caseys.1405]

Love Bill but hate SAS and JVG

[@Earl_E_Burd]

👏

[@maxdurk4624]

I love Simmons so fucking much.

[@MagicToaster671]

Why is this showing up on my recommendation in 2020

[@danielkaufman4114]

Hearing these types of numbers for NBA contracts is crazy in hindsight. $10 mil for Ray Allen who was almost still in his prime? Sheesh

[@GoldenBoy-sq6yl]

Cap wasnt as big

[@37thousand]

Idk about prime but you could compare him to Sixers JJ reddick. He would definitely get 15-20 mil nowadays since the cap has increased

[@hdudidi]

Kevin Garnett for 2 years, $20 million😭😭nfl runningbacks turn that down

[@josh0253]

Stephen a and Skip bayless trying to talk basketball with bill simmons is like throwing a rec league mvp in game 7 of a finals to guard lebron

[@stephonaugustin1384]

“Is this where you say you brought up the decision?” 🤣🤣

[@jayrichjlr]

Damn Bill shitted on SAS that whole time. And was right about Ray going to Mia

[@saynomoremedia7463]

Stephen A called the decision that hurt his sole

[@Glacierhop]

Damn Bill's famous last words

[@tombystander]

Bills thumb was all over the place this segment

[@pokerkamalpoker]

Bill is the smartest sports analyst of our decade. I really hate Stephen a smith's attitude. It's 2015 now and he still annoys me

[@SocialAssasin]

yes he is. He's the guy who constantly says the Celtics made a bad trade with the nets. The nets are trash and boston is still getting picks from that fleece job

[@maxdurk4624]

SocialAssasin Thats a lie lol

[@NickTQ101]

Kamal Ahmed it's 2018 now and I still hate him. Max kellerman is a poor man's bill Simmons

[@ethanennis8]

Social Assassin Jesus, he didn’t know about the pick swaps, and no one thought the nets owner was going to back out of win now mode.

[@alasdairmacintyre9383]

Its 2020 now and he still annoys me

[@ZionCHarper2k23]

wow, he know months before hand shuttlesworth was gone😱😱😱

[@ethanennis8]

And even gave the Heat as one of two choices

[@josea4091]

Damn espn had 3 high level guys.... same table.... now they paying no names like Maria Taylor or boring Jalen rose millions

[@theprocessss]

Jalen rose is not boring

[@tbone2123]

These two need to be on first take sas n bill ...but it be interesting if they'd have some one new all the time to go against sas n best goes back on the show more often till its official..eh ? Anybody agree ? Or nah ?

[@bjsw534]

T Bone i agree but Simmons and ESPN got hella beef so that’d never happen

[@CountFisco]

I cant lie I could listen to hours of Stephen A, Skip and Bill

[@JoeD-gy7cx]

0:58 “Go ahead and talk about it. Y’all know right? Y’all know right?” Yea, Simmons did know you bozo 😂

[@jessepinkman3088]

Stephen A Smith got butt hurted lol

[@jtjtjtjt9]

LOL @ Chris Wilcox

[@dremoore5329]

We won Celtics nation wya

[@Dylan-pq9lj]

Prime bill

[@yogo3457]

They thought the would beat the heat haha.

[@frankmaitland1254]

Simmons was right

[@jordanflores5687]

Bill nailed it

[@aaron-jp8ib]

Before Covid we really sat on top of each other like we had no room to sit anywhere else lol

[@nostradumass6248]

over a decade later and espn’s table budget for nba coverage is still nonexistent

[@frankbeans5921]

Haha he gave it to SAS 😂

[@Saulgud23]

1 year ago there talking about breaking up the heat. Right after game 6 and 7 there talking about the celtics lmao😂

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

Biiiiiiill

[@kennethgriffin7921]

I forgot how close people sat next to each other pre pandemic. I remember interviewers standing like 2 inches from players on the sidelines too

[@TaylorArtandFun]
