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

Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
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.

I could see him signing a one-year deal with OKC now that they have cats he can win with.

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

We don't want him. If we sign anyone to let them coast to a ring, it'll be Russ

[–] WokeLib420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol ok

Good for your franchise that Presti isn't as dumb as you

[–] Raptorpicklezz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Presti also isn't as dumb as Kevin Durant, who left a WCF Game 7 team to join the Warriors and coast to 2 worthless rings

[–] shinshikaizer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

In ~50 years, Durant will be remembered as a two-time champ and not as the guy who took the hardest road.

Like, we won't forget, but a couple generations later, that'll just be a footnote.

"Presti also isn't as dumb as Kevin Durant"

You talking about the guy who didnt want to pay Harden.. and traded him for Kevin Martin lol

You talking about the guy who drafted Cam Payne, Mitch Mcgray,Perry Jones.

Yeah Presti gets credit now after he already burned down a future dynasty but hey hopefully he gets it right this time with more than 1 finals apperance and 4 WCF.

If any teams gm is as dumb as anyone in this sub, that fanbase should be concerned. But go off king, you seem very smart and likeable

It was hyperbole for saying how on earth would you not want the most efficient shooter in the league? Sorry I forgot how dense Oklahoma is.

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Because there is heavy baggage with KD and literally the only reason he was linked to us was because he played for us before. We can win without him, and he's not the only option in the league for free agency/trades. Also, flair up

[–] NegativeJury8639@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nice edit ;)

[–] TheMadChatta@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What baggage other than internet memes?

[–] AnyEstablishment5723@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m here for the KD redemption tour in OKC

[–] Individual_Attempt50@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He would go to the Sonics

[–] tdupro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

ngl i can see OKC signing russ for a retirement tour but i just cant see them signing KD after what he did lol

[–] Duderus159@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If KD wants to go back to OKC I think they’ll make it work

[–] SolidGoldToast@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah even 40 year old Durant will still probably be a decently efficient 20-something point per game scorer

[–] I_Poop_Sometimes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Durant as a super 6th man would be awesome, 20 minutes of hyper efficient scoring against the other teams 2's.

6MOTY Kevin Durant
