Bill and House talking bad contracts and team f-ups never gets old😂

Bill really predicted Miami beating the Celtics 😂😂😂

this trio + russillo is gold standard for me. glad the full pod is posted here.

This might be my favourite 'draft' pod that Simmons does

Wos waxing poetic about Ben Simmons’ atrocity of a contract is the stuff basketball journalism is made of

“He belongs in china” 😂😂😂

The Johnny Davis one got me 🤣 came FULL CIRCLE

Such a good point by Bill about lebron vs zion. Hes working hard to stay healthy in year 20 while Zion can't stay healthy as a 21 year old

The video quality finally improved!!

House saying Lowry is out of shape & Zion got in great shape is hilarious 😂😂😂

Keep the drafts coming! I'll never get tired of 'em!

This is the best of what you guys do. More personality, more laughs, and consistent familiar faces would cure this pod

Jordan Poole is like paying Jamal Crawford 30 million a year

Such a good segment. Last year's was great and I look forward to this being a yearly thing

I love these. That Ben Simmons contract will rule this segment until he's bought out.

Just looking at their first 5 pics, here is each guy's starting 5: Wos starting 5: Ben Simmons - 3 yrs/$113 mil - Nets PG $38 mil/yr KAT 5/260 - Wolves - C 52 John Collins 3/79 - Hawks PF 26 DeAndre Hunter 4/90 - Hawks SF 23 Michael Porter Jr - 3/105 - Denver SG 35 Total annual salary: $174 million House Starting 5: Bradley Beal 5/251 - Wizards SF 50 Rudy Gobert 4/170 - Wolves C 43 Trae Young 5/215 - Hawks PG 43 Tobias Harris 2/77 - 76ers PF 39 Kyle Lowry - 2/58 - Heat SG 29 Total annual salary: $204 million Simmons starting 5 Duncan Robinson 4/74 - Heat SF 19 Davis Bertans 3/49 - Mavs PF 16 Jordan Poole 5/132 - Warriors PG 26 Evan Fournier 2/37 - Knicks SG 19 Richaun Holmes - 3/36 - Kings C 12 Total annual salary: $92 million House's five have the highest salary, but at least he got 5 startable players. Wos got the highest SPD (suck per dollar), so I think he won. Simmons failed the assignment--he's not even over the salary cap.

The House Simmons reaction on Deandre Hunter is meme worthy

We need to get House a mic stand

52:21 someone brought this sound bite up on Reddit and it’s way funnier visually now 💀

Looking back at this video from where we are in the finals it's so funny that they were right about everything except Duncan

Man so glad this got clipped for a video. Was listening to it and was so good.

Few podcasts come out that are over an hour long where I know I’m gonna listen to every word and be entertained

Fascinating being here after Beal and Poole just got trader. Duncan Robinson playing again and I’m only 19 minutes in. Ben Simmons situation hasn’t changed tho haha

This was my first Simmons podcast episode that I listened to and this was a great discussion. Some solid choices for a packed field of bad contracts.

Yes!!!!!!! I’m so happy. I like the addition of Wos the last two years

I remember a lot of people was mad about Ben Simmons being on the list. Guess Wos was right 😂😂

YEEEESSS!!! The Worst Contract Draft 2.0!!! I’ve been waiting years for this!!

Hopefully, Wos addresses Sabonis and is forced to acknowledge that he just never watched a single Pacers game in either of the two years that Domas made the all-star game. It's almost like these guys have no idea what they're talking about!

We NEED more WOSNY content!

they should take this 1 step further....instead of just talking about the players & contracts, they should also discuss the General Manager that gave 'said contract'. ...and we can see if any GM appears multiple times.

enjoyed this feature so much last year with Wos, this is the perfect trio to do it with

Epic pod again! I could listen to those 3 all week long. To House and Bill alone every day, all year, lmao. Greets from Munich;-)

I can listen to House talk about the Washington basketball team and bad contracts with the pain and disdain in his voice all day 😂

I think Simmons will suddenly give a crap in the last year of his deal, which will put the intelligence of a number of GMs to the test.

My 7 year old the first time she saw Kyle Lowry playing: "I'm surprised there's an NBA player who's kind of bigger like that" 🤣

Who’s here after the finals 😅? Duncan robinson contract doesn’t look so bad now considering how important he was to that run

This is better than the NBA/NFL draft. I still have a headache over the Beal contract. A no trade clause for a player that’s never really led your team to the playoffs.

I like this trio!! Give us more to listen to

funny to see how Duncan Robinsons value is now compared to a month ago before playoffs… dude is a pivotal piece on a finals team

So glad you did this again this year!

We need more of these and what ifs

MPJ doesn't deserve to be on this list any longer. Dude is ballin.

I enjoyed this far more than I had any right to. This was great stuff.

Cant believe Porter made the list. 17.4 PPG shooting 41% at 7 attempts is elite. still very young.

2:00 - Ben Simmons 10:35 - Bradley Beal 15:45 - Duncan Robinson 20:45 - Davis Bertans 23:55 - Rudy Gobert 28:20 - Karl Anthony Towns 33:50 - John Collins 36:50 - Trae Young 39:40 - Lonzo Ball 41:20 - Jordan Poole 46:10 - Evan Fournier 48:55 - Tobias Harris 51:30 - DeAndre Hunter 53:55 - Michael Porter Jr 57:00 - Kyle Lowry 58:30 - Richaun Holmes 1:00:00 - Zion Williamson 1:04:00 - Damian Lillard 1:08:00 - Zach LaVine 1:10:45 - Jonathan Isaac 1:12:00 - Marcus Smart 1:16:20 - Jusuf Nurkic

Bill's side piece channel drops more content than the actual Ringer account good grief

Watching in anticipation of a new draft coming up

15:03 It's funny Beal and Poole were mentioned in this podcast 3 months before they were basically traded for each other. Those GMs must have been tuning in 😂

What's wild about Duncan's contract is that it was a discount for what he was projected to get. Cats were saying he could get $95 million elsewhere. Bertans set Dunc's contract when he got $85 million on a team going nowhere.

Ben Simmons laughing to the bank😅😅😅😅

Btw, this draft is fire every year. Absolutely love it!

Yes Ooooooooooh my goodddd, I waited so long for part 2

Best gimmick by far

this was FANtastic!!..a fun listen.

Duncan was crushing 3s in the comfy/cozy confines of Disney...All-Time Bubble hero

First time seeing Wos on here, really liked him on the pod! Likeable, and definitely knows basketball.

Beal no trade clause is CRAZY

It's funny because Bill simmons always slammed the rockets for not getting ben simmons in the original harden deal

Lonzo is a very sad contract, you nailed it

Even when talking about other teams they somehow bring up the Wizards LOL They be catching strays left, right and centre

Bill hates Kyrie so much he thinks the Wizards won the Mavs trade 😭

Such a great segment

Davis Bertans is a classic example of the Spurs making a player a lot of money. Him and Johnathan Simmons.

Isaacs contract is only partially guaranteed 7.5 million next year and non guaranteed the next bult in injury stipulations all throughout the contract. Dude on the right doesn't know what he's talking about even when he had a chance to correct himself.

Such a hilarious listen 😂

Fun podcast. Wos is great addition: knowledgeable and always laughing

loved every minute of this

These 250 million dollar contacts are absolutely mind boggling.

@ 30:20 House with the Popeye's chicken analogy. 😂😂💀💀

Ben Simmons’ contract is fucking insane

This was a good pod. Also, Bill appeared to become despondent and emotional when talking about the Celtics. Looked on the verge of tears when discussing the rapid decline of Marcus Smart.

No JIs contract is not guaranteed

Trae gets compared to Steph Curry all the time when the ACTUAL Steph he should be compared to is Marbury

Bill picking Duncan Robinson. May be right but DR getting his say after game 3 of the semis. 23 points in 22 minutes

KAT barks up the wrong defensive tree🌲 🙀 Merry Christmas Minnesota!🎅🏽

I love these. Bill Simmons is the best

Towns and Trae could still get you value back in a trade though. Huge, risky contracts but not in same universe of badness as Gobert, Bertans, Simmons deals

Super fun. I really liked

KAT had a stage 3 calf strain with 95% of his calf torn. Soooo yeah that’s the injury he’s dealing with.

Until further notice, Ben Simmons is the worst contract in all of major sports! Maybe Russell Wilson in another year! 😂 😂

I love these kinds of NBA discussions. Fournier, to me, is by far the worst of all of the contracts mentioned

Gave Beal a no trade clause. Lmfao!

I always found it ridiculous that when the Nets acquired Kyrie and Harden that people were predicting them winning an NBA championship. No way does any team with those 2 knuckleheads ever won a title.

I have written on other posts addessing the Warriors lack of success this season that one of the biggest reasons for the decline ( as much as injuries) was the punch because the failurre of the Organization to severely penalize Green or trade him effectively put a player over the culture that the younger players had been told they should buy into so they checked out. Unlike many I do not believe that Green was indespensible to running it back as he could have been traded for others who would have compensated in other ways ( example- Myles Turner). It also likely contributed to them overpaying for Jordan Poole.

in '22 Bradley Beal shot 30threes% AND had 8 less ppg from the previous season; THEN got his 5 year contract... fax!!!

Idk how long it will take, but eventually these teams will finally realize that it’s a million times better to “lose a player for nothing”, than it is to give them a ridiculous contract and be stuck with them and their team killing contract.

This is always fun

I think Kat was a little tough on.. once he is healthy i think he will be ok... id like to see him one more year in Minnesota

That was so fun...

We need visual of every pod

Best day on the NBA calendar … Bad Contract Draft

That one portland offseason had a ton. Overpaying roleplayers and older passed their prime players by like 200%. Like the 70M even turner contract.

51:33 LMAOOO look at house and bill

They bring up one of my biggest issues with the NBA today- players act like spoiled children… and always end up getting what they want

76ers pulled off one of the greatest trades in nba history

Every pod should be on KZfaq same for RR show

Y'all finally got an HD camera?!? Hooray!

I’ve only ever heard Wos on the ringer and he looks so different than the picture I made up in my mind 😂😂

Fournier is a mathematical genius. I learned about the Fortnier Transform in differential equations.

Brad Beal is the Michael Jordan of “good stats bad team guy”
