Bill Simmons on the Dejuan Blair pick

[Sii]

From his twitter page

DaJuan Blair to the Spurs at 37? How does like this happen? You're damned right I just swore. Unbelievable.

[Dro210]

hey simmons....

[Chieflion]

To follow up, you still mad?

Edit: His draft diary is pretty funny too.

[Chieflion]

Blake Griffin pretending to be happy......

[JudynTX]

You can cuss on Twitter? Wow

[Sii]

of course you can

[JudynTX]

Well damn, I didn't know. I'll cuss on your page.

[MB20]

Edit: His draft diary is pretty funny too.

6:08: There have been 29 NBA players named "James" and 55 players named "Johnson." Somehow, we've never had a "James Johnson." Now we do. Chicago just took him 16th. I'm glad I'm here.

im not the biggest Simmons fan but he is much funnier on twitter than the articles he writes IMO. maybe its the quick - limited nature of the comments you get to make

[SpursWoman]

I eagerly anticipate his draft diary every year ... they are always pretty damn entertaining.

[EricB]

I'm not a bill simmons fan, but his draft diary is must read material every season.

It's the one liners.

LMAO..that was hilarious.

[draft87]

so the 37th pick is the end result of the barbosa trade?

[draft87]

never mind i think it was for dragic. either way it's turned out to be a nice switch

[nadroj117]

Yes it was definately Dragic... I'd say we did alright with that one... and thanks again to the Suns for falling apart and thus letting us have the 37th

[bigdog]

I'd like to thank Steve Kerr for giving us DeJuan Blair in exchange for the point guard they never play.

and Simmons' draft diary is just in classic material. Always good stuff...his other stuff sucks though.

[hater]

he's talking about Dragic.

[Tully365]

but earlier, Simmons had this to say:

6:23: Atlanta takes Jeff Teague and sends Bilas into "wingspan-explosive" autopilot. I'm bummed that nobody has taken DeJuan Blair yet. I had 12 jokes about how he doesn't have any ACLs ready to go. What do I do with them? Can I return them?

[EricB]

Goran Dragic for Dejuan Blair Malik Hairston and cash.

Yeah that RC Buford what a ing moron

[Spursfan092120]

Are people around here honestly saying they'd rather have DeJuan Blair than Barbosa? ROFL Now that... is hilarious. You can't even mention his name, because even you know it sounds absolutely ridiculous.

We got DeJuan Blair, Gist (or Hairston, not sure which), and cash for Dragic...yes...I would rather have that than Dragic...it wasn't Barbosa.

Bill Simmons is greatness. I can't believe many of you don't like him.

Some of his Boston stuff gets old, but he knows he's a homer and doesn't try to hide it. I just ignore the Boston stuff.

I listen to his podcasts all the time and they are great.

[manufan10]

3. Bilas said Griffin could "finish with either hand" twice in eight seconds. I'm 39 years old. It still made me laugh

[Marcus Bryant]

I'd like to thank Steve Kerr for giving us DeJuan Blair in exchange for the point guard they never play.

Lest we forget about Hairston (jury's still out) and the cash...
