    I enjoy Simmons...... read his last book and listen to his podcasts occasionally. He tells it like it is.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I find Simmons pretty boring...he's not good at sports analysis and I consider his humor pretty generic. That said, I may listen to the interview when I have some time, because I think Morey is a pretty interesting GM.

    Agree on Simmons.
    Not a huge fan of Morey, personally. Feel he is kind of overrated.

    Enjoy reading his stuff, LOVE his podcasts, especially the NBA megapods when he is talking with Bucher and Stein.

    Love Simmons podcasts esp the cousin sal ones during football season. His NBA ones are pretty hyperboled towards Clippers/Celtics but if you can get over that they are defiantly entertaining

    Yeah, I don't necessarily think he's a remarkable GM, performance-wise, but I think he's interesting, in terms of the ideas he looks at and uses.

    Morey reminds me of Whitsitt a little bit. Never afraid to make a trade and is willing to take chances on guys with character issues.
