I like how House is always using a hand-held mic. But it's like a boom mic that is broken and he's just holding the end of it. Nobody does that. But House does it. Keep being you, House!

House and Bill is such a good-ass combo. It's just two guys shootin' the shit about basketball and it's EXCELLENT.

Did Bill mention he has Clippers season tickets?

I love hearing bill in long format such a treat

Joe house is my favorite character in the ringer bill simmons universe

Wait was Giddeys trade value higher than LaMelo and Cades with no push back?

the lebron james play-in mvp award trophy gonna go crazy

With Curry out, Mr triple singles value just plummeted.

Simmons: Kyle! Turn on the MFing TikTok camera!

I’m glad House finally called out Simmons irrational love for Evan Mobley. Mobley is a really good young player that will be great but Philly ain’t trading Embiid for him nor is New Orleans trading Zion for him. Put him in the Haliburton, Edwards, Banchero tier and honestly all of those guys as of now I think are better players than Mobley and Lamelo deserves to be in that group too. Ain’t his fault he plays for sorry Charlotte

The LeBron James GM of the Year Trophy

There’s no way in fuck that the Magic are trading Paolo for Mobley. Probably not even Franz for Mobley

Bill Simmons was right, as a Blazer fan I didn't blink an eye for where Sharpe ended up on the list

The Pelicans letting go of Lonzo was an amazing move idk what’s going on with him

Portland fan here, Shaedon Sharpe is the REAL THING. That placement is pretty accurate imo. p.s. Rudy Fernandez was a decent player who just wasn't as good as Brandon Roy so he got spot minutes and never really got a chance to develop... and also he got homesick lol It's pretty understandable, I would get homesick too if I was from Spain then suddenly had to deal with PDX weather 🌧🌧

I think the thing that got Zion on the right track was watching the pelicans fight it out in the playoffs last year with so much spirit and guts. I think he finally decided that he wanted to be a part of that team and that there was real potential for high level achievements. Whatever it was I'm glad that it happened.

no one else thinks this much about the nba like you do. Keep it up!😊

I can always respect someone that comes out and makes hot takes they actually believe in. Thank you Bill and Ryan for the content. I love hearing others opinions on players and watching ultimately how it plays out. It's crazy to think that a couple of plays in a game define how the narratives around players work. I hope for nothing but health and success for the league, may the players and owners reap the benefits of the most beautiful professional sport to watch and be a fan of. Ball is life 🏀

Happy new year 2023!

To hear Bill giving mad creds to Shaedon Sharpe; my heart is full.

We love Shaedon Sharpe in Portland. Already had the dunk of the year w/ that putback the other day

Gracias por subir el programa entero! se ve en mala calidad eso si.

I wish they included the #1 Draft pick of the upcoming draft in these. It would be interesting to assess year to year what they believe the value in having that pick would be, as we see teams racing to the bottom for a chance at Wembanyama, or future drafts where the top pick may not be as clear cut.

He’s right about Shaedon Sharpe. The guy is the most explosive athlete I’ve ever seen. Has me excited as a blazer fan!

39:19 this is why I like Simmons. He was wrong af and is willing to admit it. The other two times he was super wrong was the Celtics with Kyrie and Gordon Hayward lol he thought they were gonna win 67 games, and when he publicly called out Woj for tweeting that the warriors, in the middle of a 73-9 season, were recruiting Kevin Durant LOL. That’s my personal favorite 😂

This list really cements how screwed my mavs are. Too good to tank, no moves to make.

I think that Andrew Wiggins is more than just a three and D guy. He's been very good at both of those things while he's been at golden state and is shooting something like 45% from three this year which is just crazy because it's not on a very small sample or a very small amount each night. Obviously that will most likely come down. I think he plays a lot of the three and D game because they need him to but when he's the main scorer out there he has no problem getting to the rim.

Towns in Toronto makes sense imo all the 6'8 players and he can just stand around the rim and benefit as a duo with Scottie.

Can't wait to hear Bill's take after my Magic got their 5th win in a row against his league-leading Celts tonight.

Defining Bam moment was the block on Tatum in the bubble. Obviously it’s going to be a defensive moment.

If you pause any Bill Simmons video, there is a 60% chance he looks like the Grinch.

You need a new webcam Bill, with as many videos as you make, this 480p just doesn't cut it. Love the content though

Criticizes something as trivial as award names, then makes a long trade value list - nothing could be more trivial and extraneous

JA crazy untouchable. Most popular player in the league, small market. Memphis would absolutely never give him away.

Love the PG Trophy 🤣 he's one of my favorite players hands down

Holiday is always criminally underrated, but I'm glad Bill gets it.

Bill seems to have this really weird thing with Dame. Idk what it is but he’s always been super down on him compared to guys like Mitchell. Guy has been going off and they barely talked about him except for “he’s loyal good for him.” Idk just kinda bizarre with how lukewarm you guys are with Lillard. ( it’s kinda crazy they had him so low on the trade value list but I guess it’s possible I’m overrating him)

"Heat Culture? What is that?" 😂😂😂

As a Rockets fan, if we traded Jalen Green for Lebron I would give up. I'd rather be a Kings fan at that point.

What's the difference between Matisse Thybulle and Herb Jones? Same age, same efficiency. One is allowed to play the other is not.

Evan Mobley is a slightly better Larry Nance jr what is bill talking about?

Simmons love for Mobley got me draft the guy 4th round in fantasy. But as a 4th option on a contending team I really don't see how much he can pop at this point for this season at least. Swapped him for Harris and nurkic feeling good.

mj getting mvp and lebron getting the durability award would be the ultimate slap in the face lmao

Why isnt claxton accounted for on these lists? Hes 23, on a two year 16 mil contract and plays exceptional defense. Perusing this list shouldnt he slot somewhere?

I remember when Bill and Especially "Your Boy" Ry were damning the Knicks signing of Brunson. Now both say there were all in on Brunson? Gotta go back and listen to episode,6 of the trade deadline or free agent signings they both said it was a bad signing. Brunson is a player in the Chris Paul/Joe Dumars mold

Jokic is going to win his 3rd MVP in a row. Dude is balling out. Undeniable.

Bill we're taping this at Simmons

It all started about 10 years ago once people starting acknowledging that the NBA Finals trophy was called the Larry O'Brien's trophy. WTF is Larry O'Brien? It was one of those things that made you sound smart because you know it.... They started a monster and now can't stop it.

Joe House with the 240p webcam, using a headset with the mic boom connected and folded out while using another mic simultaneously. True boomer.

Drunk House!!!!!!!

It’s time we ease up on players and there contracts, what are they really supposed to do turn down 250 million? It’s time we start ranking “The worst contract giving teams” and start pointing the finger at the franchises giving out these terrible deals.

Mathurin's best asset is his fearlessness.

For me the most outstanding thing is having absolutely NO Maverick other than Luka on second spot. And that's not a knock on the list, I do agree with it. Just shows how disfunctional this roster is, despite being at the west finals last year with somewhat the same guys...

I don’t understand the narrative that it’s not the teams fault for signing a player, like Bradley Beal or Zach Lavine, when they know what they were getting, knew they weren’t contending, and had time to trade him. It is the teams fault, it’s called having perspective

Bro 100 million from Spotify and you get an old Imac webcam

NBA Executive of the Year named after LeGM 😂

it's not a sexy pick but i think steven adams has been a top 70 guy just based on the value he brings to his team, every team he's on is a lock for a top offensive rebounding team, top defensive team, and he's easily the top enforcer in the league. One of the best screeners in the league, probably the hardest guy to move down low, very hard to get positioning against him, and he just does every little thing. He's been a starting center on really good teams for a long time for a good reason, and he would've been a walking double double if russ wasn't robbing him of defensive rebounds. And this is in retrospect, but he averaged a career his 11.5 boards at age 29. Career high last year too getting 10 a game. The on off stats for him and the grizzlies in the playoffs were also astounding last year. Super valuable, but as a trade value it's a little more fishy. He was making big bucks in this season, but His extension he signed in memphis is great value at under 13 a year for 2 more years. it's a little crazy he got traded with a. pick for Jonas Valanciunas. The only thing he does better is a little bit of spacing and he's a better scorer. That Pelicans year was very tough. Putting him in the same front court as zion was baffling.

I think Bill is making a mistake by ranking the players who you would rather have in a trade between the two players. The metric should look at how many teams would rather have one player over the other and then go from there.

Playoff MVP will probably be Lebron’s. For the most outstanding player throughout the entire playoffs. Whereas Finals MVP is only for the finals

I’d trade an unprotected first for Randle if I’m a contender and just need a third option. 23/9/4 while nearly 47% from the field.

Defining Bam moment: when he blocked Tatum in the eastern conference semis

Why is Kawhi so low? When he's healthy he's a one man championship (I understand he's not healthy a lot). In regard to basketball, why would Lebron be so much higher than him? Lebron brings people to watch, but I don't think that's what the video is about. If teams had a choice between Kawhi and Lebron TODAY to win a championship, I can't imagine anyone would choose Lebron. Not just about Lebron, though, true for most players. How many players would be chosen over Kawhi to win a championship. I can understand the younger guys on cheap contracts would have a higher trade value, but don't understand Butler, Chris Paul, and most others.

give me zion over mobley any day

GOATed content

Fox and Brunson in the same tier as Jarrett Allen lol

Jordan Clarkson above Tyrese Maxey. Lol

House pointing out that if Bol Bol was playing in France teams would be tanking for him.

Couldn't get past the first 2 seconds when House did that gross lip-lick, but cool content Bill!

If Bob Meyers to the Lakers was a possibility and the Lakers didn't immediately pay him whatever he wanted as a Lakers fan I would be so upset.

LeBron w Jimmy makes sense. Tough to compare Bron to young players bc HOU etc are not in a win now role, but comparing Bron to players on playoff teams is more fair. You want Bron or Jimmy? Bron or Kawaii? Bron or Mikal?

Luka probably doesn't drink sweet tea. As a lifelong Texan I can inform you that tea in Texas is served unsweetened and you have the option to sweeten it with real sugar or artificial sweetener as you like. When I moved to North Carolina I found out that tea was always served sweetened and it was a pretty big surprise to me. Since Luka is in Dallas he would have to sweeten the tea himself.

Man i couldn't agree more about naming trophies. Are they gonna start naming All-NBA teams? The Lebron James First Team All NBA award.

52:55 It starts off awkward in retrospect, then only goes downhill

Daily reminder the Celtics could have kept Bane but chose Pritchard.

Feel like Bill is forgetting Trae is only like 23 lol

Bill swears hes a doctor. The amount of times ive heard him say “well this guy is much better but i dont trust him to stay healthy”

Hit the over on the magic!!!!

Bill's rant at the beginning reminds me of a old man angry because teenagers record themselves dancing on tiktok.

'I don't want to spoil the list by doing a 2 hour video on it'

Watch every play Bron takes off, every bad 3, and how he's getting his buckets these days and tell me he's even in the top 70.

Facts bill u better put Bron up I'm glad dude called him.on that bullshit

"Grabbed him by the shorts and pulled him down into this rarefied air."?? That's a pretty screwed up metaphor. I don't think you can pull somebody down into rarefied air unless they're above that in the really really rarefied air. 😂

About to be 2023 and yall got 480p

"His stats might be the same except he averages 3 less rebounds and 3 less assists." That's a pretty big difference to me, lol

No one expected to like Kuz lol

Is there a Wilt award? Maybe one for scoring, in more than 1 way 🥰

Poole gets paid 30 mil a year? Wtf. Bob Myers dropped the ball hard there. He's good but not 30 mil a year good. Not even close. Look at a similar player for instance jordan Clarkson. Similar roles and style of play. Clarkson gets paid a fourth of pooles salary. He's been grossly overpaid

Giddey over green??

Everybody gets a trophy you get a trophy and you get a trophy 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

well ja isnt untouchable, because if any of the top 5 players in your list were offered for him, hed be gone, I dont think that would happen the other way around

you're making the same argument for lebron curry and butler, they're all old unique fantastic players on massive contracts and wouldn't want to leave their respective cities, so i don't understand the huge ranking discrepancy between the three, they should all be in a mid-20s tier of their own with KD, Dame, Kawhi, maybe Harden and PG. And also - if youth and contract aren't the only rubrics we're looking at here and we're talking about all-star production in any system over next couple years, there is no way in hell mikaal bridges and anfernee simons have more trade value then zach lavine, let alone lebron goddamn james. Just saying.

Franz Wagner 🏀🔥🙌

Mikal Bridges might hit the 50-40-90 club this year. Just sayin.

Wiggins slighted or did I miss it?

House is right on Mobely

- Philly could have drafted him - Who did they take instead? - Mikal Bridges… I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maxey is insanely low 💀

Wall led the wizards to the second round 3 times not one bill. 3 times in 4 years without a single all star teammate and never lost to a team that wasn’t a 1 seed and made it to at least 6 games all 3 times, he also did it twice with Randy Whitman who had the worst record coaching in nba history among coaches with 350 games decided prior to coaching Wall. The wizards have won 5 series since 1979 and Wall was the leader for 3 of them. According in to an ESPN study in 2019 Wall has went further with less help than any other 5 plus time all star in nba history. P

Bill is the best at this, hands down
