The Bill Simmons Podcast
Haliburton’s Brilliant Game 4, the Reeling Knicks, and OKC’s All Grown Up With Zach Lowe

Like a six foot eight shooter who can kind of be malleable on defense and is just a little bigger than Matherin. I think would be the number one thing I would draft for them. Somebody who could come in and give them just like a long athletic lineup without a center basically.

The biggest thing that I think they solved, other than getting Halliburton right, because he just didn't seem like the same guy those first two months, but I felt like it's a little like what we were talking about with Townsend Brunson before. I didn't love the fit with Siakam with them 100% because I thought, I didn't feel like he wanted to go as fast as they wanted to go.

And it seems to me, granted I'm not banging out 82 Pacer games a year, but I do watch a lot of them and I've always been afraid of them. It seems to me he's committed to the style now and that he's playing way more breakneck than I think he used to. I thought he was too deliberate with them last year.

I heard, I can't remember who said this, Maybe it was Doc Rivers because he got interviewed for, there was some Rick Carlisle piece I read in like USA Today. I'm sorry, I can't remember the writer. And I think it was Doc Rivers who said, what's great about Rick is whatever roster he has, that's the team he'll create around the roster that he has, which that's like football.

That's what I always loved about Belichick. He didn't have a system. He was like, oh, we have these guys, so let's do this. And that was just how he figured out whatever they're doing on defense. You think how different that Dallas, Luka Brunson, all ISO team was compared to how this Indiana team plays, how that 03 Pistons played, and then how that Dallas team played, especially in 2011.

He just has different styles, which I don't, how many basketball coaches could just be like, all right, I guess we'll do this. I feel like Brad Stevens was kind of wired like that too, but there's not that, not that many who are like, I don't have a system. My system is who's my best player. I'm going to create something around.

Do you remember your feelings on what they should have done? Because the Knicks were coming hard after Fox in February 22 when they made that bonus trade. Sacramento was also looking at Ben Simmons. And there was a Halliburton possibility there. But it felt like one of those guys was available. And I've always been way, way pro-Halliburton, even dated back to the draft.
