[Simmons] “Everyone knew that Derrick White would get the Kawhi spot if necessary for a couple of months…”



Bill goes on to say:

"…if Kawhi wasn't ready it wasn't going to be Jaylen… he knew this but yet he said something anyway…"

Also says that he thinks the Bucks odds are too low and he's the team as a Celtics fans he's the most worried about in the Eastern Conference for next season. Bill says that Doc Rivers filled out his staff pretty well this offseason.

  1. damn so IceJJSwish was creeping around the corner

  2. The White for Kawhi story had been out there not really sure what you’re getting at with the post

  3. >”…if Kawhi wasn’t ready it wasn’t going to be Jaylen… he knew this but yet he said something anyway…”

    yeah because of the “marketing problems”. it’s not something he should be quiet about. stephen a smith was hinting at this and jaylen took shots at sas for it.

  4. Hmmmm… that doesn’t sound like a conspiracy at all.

    Derri-Kawhi-te

    Should’ve been obvious to everyone

    Interesting podcast from Simmons—White’s role and the Bucks’ chances are worth noting.

    “I don’t think Bill is a pro, he should’ve stayed in his podcast another year” – Jaylen Brown

    It was a 12th man role to do the dirty work on the floor and sit on the bench more often than not. If Jaylen wasn’t sulking already from not being named at first, how thrilled would he be to not be playing and not getting touches?

    Inviting kawhi is stupid from the start. that spot should definitely go to a guard and not a wing player.

    If one of curry or haliburton goes down, there’s no back up. Meanwhile if one of Lebron, KD, Tatum, Ant and presumably Kawhi, there’s a backup.

    White could sub in for curry, holiday, hali, and booker cause he can play point and SG.

    White plays 11 min with 5 assists, throwing lobs to AD. He closed out the qtr. He is glue guy

    Bill Simmons is part of the “Resources”

    Here comes the smear campaign

  12. National_Debt1081

    He’s a fucking smug bitch, Simmons has a annoying Boston white guy punchable face and voice

    it’s already a big commitment for 3 celtics players to be on the team at once.

    better to keep one of the jays at home, so they have at least one all-star in case of injury at the olympics

    Bill is a moron. He hated Doc until he came on the podcast now he likes MKE. Sad.

    We knew this, i heard white mentioned basically as soon as kawhi was, Jaylen was never floated as a replacement
