The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Fake-Trade Fiesta With Kevin O’Connor

And so you get Walker Kessler back to fill a similar role. You get Colin Sexton as an upgrade over Deuce McBride. I love Deuce. I think Deuce is better than Tom Thibodeau. I mean, Tom Thibodeau barely plays him, though. He barely plays any of the guys off the bench.

So maybe you don't even make this deal for that reason, knowing Tibbs is going to have Walker Kessel playing eight minutes a game and Sexton playing 15. But maybe he would play some of those guys more. So I think if you're the Knicks, something along those lines, I'd be wanting to get another center because as much as I really like Precious Achua, I want a true five.

I want another true rim protector next to Cat because what they've been doing lately in the lineups have worked well, but they've barely played Cat with Achua. It's worked when they have. It's been really successful for that team. But I want to see somebody that allows Cat to be in that role he was next to Gobert in Minnesota.

I know Achua doesn't offer the rim protection that, say, Walker Kessler could. So maybe I've made that deal too complicated and you trim it down. No, I see what you're trying to do with it, though.

One more year. Just one more if you're the Jazz. And also, next year's class has more than just AJ, too. Next year's class, you've got the Boozers, you've got Kareem Lopez, who's dominating in the NBL right now, is 17 years old in a men's league. So there's a lot of guys in next year's class that could be a number one quality pick. So I think it's one more year for Utah.
