Bill Simmons describes hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy:
“I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?
When this trade happened I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
I’m a free agent. I don’t have an agent right now just me and my family.
I know I have a lot left, and I genuinely love this game. I’d rather show you I’m ready than spend my time trying to explain why or flood you with analytics to prove it.
If you’re about winning, value mentorship, and think there could be a fit, you can reach me directly. I’m open to every opportunity right now—I just want to make sure I weigh each one carefully.
I can’t wait to share my story.

Keir Starmer did some good things as Prime Minister and some bad things. Only the bad things were really amplified. He led a government that had no idea how to sell a vision, no clue how to convince people there was a plan and no conviction in dealing with a hostile media, mainstream and social, that goaded them into a leadership crisis.
I wish whoever takes over the best of luck. Seven PMs in ten years since Brexit. All the same problems will exist and as soon as they takeover the attacks on them and their policies will start.
Next general election will be in 2029, plenty of time to sell a vision and get on track with delivering it.
