    The Lakers paranoia is strong in here.

    He made the threes I saw him take. I was surprised because I had heard the same as you.

    Simmons looks like the best #1 prospect since Anthony Davis.

    Amazing combination of size and skill.

    This team isn't bad enough to have a realistic shot at Simmons.

    Yeah we'd be lucky to even get someone like Ingram.

    The idea of Boston getting Simmons makes me want to physically vomit. Ainge scammed Brooklyn out of their pick is just what Auerbach used to do to unsuspecting teams in the 70's and 80's.

    Actually, I don't just hate Boston sports (yes, I am jealous.) I hate the place physically, and intellectually. I hate Nathaniel Hawthorne. I hate Oliver Wendell Holmes. And Matt Damon. F-ck you!

    (gasps for air)

    Raymond Carver and Carrie Brownstein rule!

    ...Simmons chose LSU so everyone could get used to him wearing purple and piss for the next two decades -- the NBA will make sure their beloved Lakers have the next great superstar to replace Kobe's old ass! Fuck the Lakers.

    Idk. We are what 5th worse? It's not that uncommon for 4,5,6 winning #1

    If we could even get #2 or #3, those picks are very valuable. And skal labisserie is still abailable at #2

    Because his godfather Dave Patrick is an assistant coach there.

    Dave Patrick is also the reason Patty Mills went to St Mary's.

    Dave Patrick played for the Canberra Cannons with Ben's father Dave Simmons, Patty Mills was the ball boy.

    If Portland can somehow get their hands on Simmons, brandon Ingram, or jaylen brown, they're going to win a championship within the next 4 years.

    What I'm saying is, they're one wing scorer away.

    Do you also think the twin towers was a US plot?

    The NBA has Ernst and Young review the procedures. They are a way bigger company than the NBA and don't give a shit about such and such prospect going somewhere. One of the biggest 4 accounting firms in the world isn't putting their reputation on the line lightly.
