[Bill Simmons] “I don’t wanna defend the Heat, cause I hate the Heat—but it’s crazy they won’t have that pick cause they traded for Rozier who was under a gambling investigation and the other team didn’t tell them. They should get the pick back… I’ve never seen the league fuck over a team like this”

  2. I bet if this happened to Boston or LA they would be screaming about it all over ESPN. Who am I kidding the league wouldnt have let it happen to Boston or LA

  7. They should give the Heat a pick but I doubt it’ll ever happen, any kind of compensation will be an admission of guilt by the league and they’ll never admit they knew about it and still let it happen.

  8. They won’t give us the pick back cause they know it might give our Superstar trade package a boost. We’re still getting punished for the big 3 15 years later 🤦🏾‍♂️

  9. Adam Silver & the NBA is lucky the streaming boom happened under his run. Purely corrupt incompetent league with a barely watchable product.

  13. What did this franchise do to earn such contempt from NBA media? It’s not even just large media platforms either, every basketball pod/commentator seems to have a bone to pick with us.

  15. People saying we should get a compensation pick, why? Why should we get fucked when both the league and hornets knew? Give our pick back.

  17. I love Bill. I just do. I’ve loved him since his early blogging days. Using Anchorman quotes as random anecdotes for the NBA season was genius.

  18. Don’t know how many of you used to watch wrestling but I was a fan of HBK growing up and hated Brett Hart but always respected him and now as an adult respect him even more. I’m guessing that’s how Simmons feels about the Heat.
