Wednesday’s Game Over starts with a surprise drop-in from Bill Simmons, and of course they have to talk movies after Bill’s seen 'The Odyssey' twice already. Pat Riley made some comments about players needing to avoid reacting to their name swirling around in trade rumors (6:05). Did those rumors contribute to Jaylen Brown’s trade out of Boston? Deuce McBride spoke about role players in the NBA; do his comments align with Rich’s stance on starring in your role (19:55)? Bill wonders if Rich is going to be running a team before the year 2033 (25:34), and does his best to convince Rich to get LeBron to Golden State. Then, which fantasy basketball trio would win the most championships (50:24)?
