TANK WILLIAMS: All right, Chris, with the NBA season starting this week, I got to thinking, which NBA players can go into a NFL team and fill a glaring hole immediately. So this is a kind of funky little twist that we've got going on here, but kind of stick there with me and see how it goes.

CHRIS SIMMS: OK.

TANK WILLIAMS: All right, now, number three, I have LeBron James going to the Chargers, because the Chargers need fans like none other. And after LeBron's comments in China, I feel like he can probably use some fans as well, so this may be the perfect merger of two teams and players.

And now at number two, I have Derrick Rose to the Bears, because, obviously, they thought they picked the premier player in Mitch Trubisky, but that ain't it. And so, since Derrick Rose didn't completely fulfill his destiny in Chicago, how about we bring him back one more time to finish the deal with the Bears.

CHRIS SIMMS: Ah, yeah, one more time. OK.

TANK WILLIAMS: And then, at number one, I have Kevin Durant, not only going to the Giants, but the Jets too, because he's already in Brooklyn. But after Danny Dimes was out there playing-- you know that Sandra Bullock movie? What was it, with the bird-- the "Bird Box," where she couldn't see, because he couldn't read the field.

CHRIS SIMMS: OK.

TANK WILLIAMS: And then Sam Darnold literally seeing ghosts against the Patriots on Monday Night Football. I feel like they need to get Kevin Durant on his burner account and try to help them with the media, because they about to get roasty and toasty in New York on those quarterbacks this week. Thoughts?

CHRIS SIMMS: Oh, they definitely are. You're right about that. They could use some of Kevin Durant social media awareness, certainly, yeah, so he could use that burner to stick up for them.

I mean, how about the Pats? You brought up LeBron James. They need some tight end help. I mean, LeBron looks like a tight end to me, all day long.

TANK WILLIAMS: Even though they're still playing with Gronk, so you know they need someone to fill that middle.

CHRIS SIMMS: They knew-- and right now, LeBron looks like he weighs more than Gronk. I mean, if you told me Gronk was getting in basketball shape, I'd go--

TANK WILLIAMS: Taco Tuesday!

CHRIS SIMMS: Every time I look at him-- yeah. Every time I look at him, he's lost 10 pounds. OK, and somebody needs a wide receiver in the NFL, OK? We can say whoever you want. The Green Bay Packers are the team I look at the most, but Russell Westbrook? OK?

TANK WILLIAMS: I thought about that one.

CHRIS SIMMS: How do you not put him on somebody's team at wide receiver.

TANK WILLIAMS: I thought about that. Yeah.

CHRIS SIMMS: Yes. I mean, he just looks, like to me, the guy I'd want to throw to. Oh, he's man-to-man, Russell Westbrook? Look, let him run by somebody. See ya.

TANK WILLIAMS: How about this thought? How about we go Wisconsin and Wisconsin, put Giannis with the Green Bay Packers and give A-Rod another receiver.

CHRIS SIMMS: Jump ball heaven. They get down in the red zone, and it's over. He's just going to throw it up and alley-oop that crap every time. Who's your team in the NBA?

TANK WILLIAMS: Uh, I mean, I guess I got to go with the Warriors since I'm out here in the Bay Area. I love watching Steph and Klay throw bombs over everybody. Yeah, just call me a homer or a bandwagoner, all that stuff.

CHRIS SIMMS: Yeah. Yeah.

TANK WILLIAMS: But those boys play ball, the Splash Brothers. You got to love it.

CHRIS SIMMS: No, I do love it. I respect it. I actually like them now more that Kevin Durant's gone, OK, because now the NBA's fair again. All right? That's why. I don't know, but, oh, my gosh, a Golden State Warriors fan, geez.

TANK WILLIAMS: But hold on, let's go to one more team though. How about the Philadelphia Eagles? Because that secondary gets roasted on a regular basis. How about they get Joel Embiid back there? Now, he may not be able to play DB, but at least he could swat down a couple balls at the line of scrimmage, and then at least give that secondary a hope or a prayer.

CHRIS SIMMS: They need something. There's no doubt about it. That secondary stinks right now. They're toast. And they could use a receiver too, without DeSean Jackson out there. Maybe they're the team for Russell Westbrook. Maybe they get Kawhi Leonard out there at some corner.

TANK WILLIAMS: Yeah.

CHRIS SIMMS: I could see him jamming people, playing on a island.

TANK WILLIAMS: Defensive specialist.

CHRIS SIMMS: I like Kawhi's D skills. I could see that too.

TANK WILLIAMS: Now, you were hating on my team now. Now, who's your squad?

CHRIS SIMMS: Well, my team is the Brooklyn Nets, baby. Yeah.

TANK WILLIAMS: Oh, OK. OK. A little Kyrie action.

CHRIS SIMMS: They were in Jersey when I was growing up, so I followed them over to Brooklyn. And now he got Kyrie and KD.

TANK WILLIAMS: And so that's why you're glad that KD's gone now. Now it all comes together.

CHRIS SIMMS: You know it. You're very smart, OK? I'm a LeBron fan, I'm not going to lie, but I'm a Nets fan when it comes to teams. And I'm big on the Nets. Watch out for us. Watch out, Golden State.

TANK WILLIAMS: OK. OK. Y'all got to get by Philly first.
