What are your best guesses about the NBA 5 years from now? (alien.top)

After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought...

What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you......)

My hot takes are

  1. Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
  2. The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
  3. LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife's uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.

Could see that tbh. Do you see Dame and Giannis working out together over the next few years though? A Giannis decline after 2 more championships will be glossed over, but if the decline is instant I could see a lot of drama amongst media

I think once he becomes 31-32 we'll see him declining, as it stands they have 2 or maybe 3 seasons before Dame starts declining, seeing as he's already 33

I see that, could also see dame taking a lesser scoring role but still contributing as a facilitator. Guess his defence will become an even bigger liability at this point

Dame will turn less into a facilitator and more into a pure shooter I think.

During the bucks preseason games it seems like they default to “give giannis the ball” rather than “let dame take it at the top of the key and direct the floor” so it’ll be interesting to see what they do with an elite point guard if they don’t trust them with first touch.
