There needs to be a "backing out of the room" GIF for Bilas/Jalen's body language while Simmons was firing back. That was great... the entire desk literally wanted to be anywhere else on Earth at that moment.

Oklahoma City did a masterful job of building a near dynasty with very little room for error then made a catastrophic mistake. I don't know if that team will be able to win the title.
The Nets will not win with that roster. You can't count on Deron Williams, Brook Lopez is soft and overrated, and Garnett and Pierce are another year older. Boston wasn't going to do anything w/ Pierce and Garnett, but getting Wallace back does nothing for them, and I don't believe Wallace is an amnesty candidate. They'll need to hold Rondo out all year and hope for the lottery balls to fall their way. It's a better plan than the mediocrity treadmill.

Simmons is too emotional to be on TV right now. Can't accept what has happened to this Celtics team.

I remember a superior Celtics team beating him and the Cavs and crushing his spirit, yes. The media, of course, ridiculously played that into a narrative about him quitting on his team. And yes, it would be even worse if he left the sport in his prime. I can just imagine the way they would frame him as some kind of cowardly quitter afraid to live in the shadow of the all-time greats and afraid to complete his legacy.

I don;t think they could have afforded to pay all 3 from what I remember. They weren't willing to sacrifice salary like the Heat were.
