Bill Simmons podcast live on Netflix here on Sunday. We have Zach Lowe right now. He's in a great mood. We have Taylor Sheridan, creator of Yellowstone and a bunch of awesome shows coming in the second half of the pod. Zach is coming off. an incredible victorious day in Philadelphia where he celebrated a World Cup win with a bunch of tall Croatians. Very tall. I was worried you were going to get crushed in a group hug at some bar last night, but you made it. You're here.
I made it home. I may have gotten crushed. There may have been a lot of group hugs. Croatians know how to party and we move on to the round of 32. We're going to be underdogs, but that's fine. Like, look, I'm glad if this is it, I got to see Luka Modric summon one last great game start to finish. And that was amazing.
And you're 2-0 in the World Cup this year in person.
Yeah, that's been pointed out to be by multiple people associated with the Croatian football team. Now you have to go to every game now. I might need to go to Toronto.
What happened with LaMelo Ball's trade to the Wolves?
It's being pushed on me that I might need to. And I'm just putting it out there. Mets play Blue Jays the day before in Toronto. I could do a double. Just skip NBA free agency altogether and just go to be a sports fan.
We're going to try to rip through NBA stuff in 75 minutes, which includes Jalen Brown. I have not given any take yet on the LaMelo trade to Minnesota. You did a whole podcast about it. We're going to talk Charlotte Phoenix a little bit. We're going to talk about what happened to LeBron, and we're going to talk about craziest prediction for the week. You have podcasts coming at least tomorrow and probably Wednesday, maybe two, maybe three. I'm going to have at least one more on Thursday. So that is the schedule. Jalen Brown, not traded yet. Information and misinformation flying around. I don't know if he has lost trade value because teams know they want to trade him or because of his contract or whatever.
I thought it would be resolved a little bit quicker. He was in France. A little pissy about some advanced metrics tweets. Got mad at Bobby Marks for passing along something he heard from a front office.
What are the implications of Miles Bridges being traded to the Suns?
He's been doing panels. The word on the street on Jalen in France, and I know multiple people who were either in his vicinity or whatever, is that he was... was acting like he's done in Boston and that this is it. And I don't think he's very happy with this. Do you think Boston mishandled this in any way?
First of all, you have sources on the ground across France, like whatever region, the Bordeaux region. Oh, it was Cannes.
Okay, so you have sources on the ground. He was on sports panels there. I don't think he's really too happy about the last couple of weeks.
What would the mishandling have been? Tell me what the mishandling would, because they won a, let's, let's not for lead. Let's lead with the thing. They won the championship with Jalen Brown and Jason. I'm just talking about this off season. So from literally final buzzer of game seven until right now, what is the case that Boston has mishandled? Is it not trading him already? Is it even getting into the Giannis bidding to begin with? Because you can't not have that get out. And once it gets out that you're interested in Giannis, who is better than Jalen Brown, older but better, And addresses it. Okay, fine. We can litigate that if you want. Once that gets out, there's no other realistic path for this to happen.
