    Apologies if this has already been posted. Classic Bill Simmons comedy.

    My favorites:

    "8:20 -- Random question: What would happen if Detroit re-signed Rodney Stuckey, then started Knight and Stuckey together? If you start two combo guards, does that equal one point guard and one shooting guard? I say it does; Jacoby thinks it cancels each other out; Wildes solves it by saying, "If you have two Arnold Palmers, that doesn't mean you have one iced tea and one lemonade, it means you have two Arnold Palmers." He's right. Stuckey needs to go."

    "9:07 -- Right before Stern tells us that Philly took Nikola Vujevic with the 16th pick, he glances at the index card one more time with an amused, "Really, another effing foreign name???" smirk. "He's the greatest," Jacoby says. We're all gonna miss him when he retires — name me a more entertaining commish on Draft Night. You can't."

    "9:26 -- TRADE! Ric Bucher reports that San Antonio is sending George Hill to Indiana for the rights to Kawhi Leonard. Like it for both teams. Van Gundy's take: "When San Antonio does a deal, I always think they're right." Somewhere, the people watching this draft with Richard Jefferson are sitting in awkward silence."

    Simmons Draft Diary is one of my favorites every year. The only thing I usually enjoy more is his annual trade value column.

    The only thing I enjoy more is the atrocious GM summit. How long do we have to wait for another one?

    #humblebrag I actually met him during one of the finals games in Dallas before the game and interrupted his chat with Jimmy Goldstein and JA Adande so I could chat with him and I forgot to ask about the next GM summit. :(
