The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Invincible OKC, Knicks Nirvana, and Acceptable Giannis Trades With Zach Lowe, Ariel Helwani, Sean Fennessey, and Ben Thompson

They're often considered the laughingstocks of their respective leagues. And somehow, you remember this, Bill. When the Knicks missed out on Kyrie and KD and they signed Randall, I was apoplectic. I was so upset, so furious. I felt like it was the culmination of 20 years of failure for the franchise since that 2000 run that they made that Ariel was referring to earlier.

I was, I actually liked the Brunson signing and did not have the, like, I don't know about this contract attitude about it because I had just watched him mow down the jazz in that previous series and the Western conference. So I liked that.

Because even the Bridges trade two months ago, maybe even two weeks ago, people were saying, this is a terrible trade. And then he did things in that Boston series that completely flipped the argument. Completely. Fuck them picks is a motto in New York now. We don't care about that. We are just delighted to have beaten the Celtics and to be going on to face the Pacers.
