Bill Simmons Rips NBA Owners Robert Sarver, Dan Gilbert: Twitter

Bill Simmons Ripped Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and Cleveland Cavaliers Owner on Twitter. Here's What The Sports Guy Said

Let's face it, the 2011 NBA lockout isn't all that interesting. With the NFL and college football in full swing and baseball playoffs on the way, not too many folks are paying close attention to the NBA lockout, which, in case you haven't heard, isn't going well.

Bill Simmons is trying to get us to pay attention. The popular ESPN columnist ripped NBA owners on Twitter. Specifically, he ripped Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert.

Here are the Bill Simmons comments on Robert Sarver and Dan Gilbert:

-Keep hearing Gilbert/Sarver are hurting NBA lockout progress from owner's side. This pisses me off for a variety of reasons, but mainly...

- Sarver overpaid for team, spent last few years slicing $$ and turned Suns fans against him. Not he wants to blow up the system? Go away.

-Gilbert also overpaid for his team, overpaid players FOR YEARS and would love the current system had LBJ stayed. Now it's no good for him?

-None of the newer owners who overpaid for teams should have any real say in this lockout. It's not our fault they made dumb purchases.

-NFL lockout was led by Kraft, Jones + Richardson, 3 of the shrewdest and most ruthless businessman we have as sports owners.

-NBA lockout has owners like Dolan, Gilbert, Sarver and Taylor prominently involved. Look how they run their real teams. I have no hope.

-And on the other side, you have the 5 best agents trying to pull a fast one on Billy Hunter and bump him out. What an f-ing mess. The end.

We would love it if Sarver and Gilbert took Bill Simmons' bait and responded to his rant. In Gilbert's case, he would no doubt reply with an angry missive written in Comic Sans.
