BILL SIMMONS RUMORS & GOSSIP
I’m not 100% on board this Bill Simmons trade proposal for Kevin Love
Bill Simmons has dreamed up a trade scenario that he believes will land the Celtics Kevin Love:
Like Love in Minnesota, [Rajon] Rondo can leave Boston in July 2015. And like Love, you can’t trade him unless it’s a team that (a) has assets to give back, and (b) could entice him into staying. Harder than you think. Houston and Dallas don’t have the assets. New York DEFINITELY...

Bill Simmons on the Celtics: "I’m not a believer in tanking, I think you do what you can."
I've been pretty hard on Bill Simmons for the past year or so. That's until now. Simmons has said in the past that the Celtics should tank, or something close to that. Here are some quotes from October when he made a video for Grantland, with Jalen Rose. Simmons: "Clairvoyant Bill thinks Rajon Rondo has 20 games or less left as a Boston Celtic. He will play 20 games...

The New York Knicks lost Jeremy Lin in a widely unpopular move when they failed to pony up the cash to sign him long term following the “Linsanity” phenomenon in 2012. Less than two years later, it sounds like they would love to have him back. Chad Ford joined Bill Simmons on the “B.S. Report” […]

Bill Simmons to broadcast with Mike Gorman for Lakers game
Joe Murphy/NBAE/Getty ImagesWith Tommy Heinsohn no longer broadcasting many road games, it’s been interesting to see who accompanies the great Mike Gorman on air. A few fill-ins have been awesome, and some not so much; I really wasn't a fan of the sultry sounds of P.J. Carlesimo. Last night Jackie McMullan was phenomenal, I really enjoyed her insight. It was quite impressive...

Did Bill Simmons Get Cut Off By ESPN For Talking About “The Decision?”
ESPN and Bill Simmons seem to be on thin ice in terms of their relationship, and the latest incident won’t exactly make things easier. All of this is purely speculation currently, but as soon as Bill started speaking about ‘The Decision,’ ESPN oddly cut back to their SportsCenter studio. This could definitely be a coincidence, but given their recent rocky history it wouldn’t...

CAN'T PHASE SPORTS GUY
Drunk videobomber attracts security
Bill Simmons was giving some postgame comments following Game 7 of the NBA Finals in which the Heat won the NBA title, and a possibly inebriated fan tried his best to interrupt him. As you can see by the video, Bill wasn’t phased, and he took to Twitter to reinforce that sentiment. Well done, Bill. Is there video of the drunk maniac who jumped behind me during the live SportsCenter...

Bill Simmons Takes To Twitter To Slam ESPN…. Again
Bill Simmons has not learned from his past mistakes, or he just doesn’t care which seems the more likely answer in his latest Twitter rant against ESPN. If you remember, ESPN suspended Simmons earlier this year in March from Twitter for a few days after he publicly called out a segment on ‘First Take’ featuring Skip Bayless and Richard Sherman. Well, it looks like another suspension...
