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.

I think history will show no matter what era it is, it is extremely difficult for lanky 7 footers to stay healthy.

This is why as a Celtics fan I want nothing to do with Porzingis. Some fans are excited for his potential on this team but my concern is pretty valid and simple: we have literally never seen anyone in the history of the NBA that looks like Porzingis help lead a title contender. Every single lanky/goofy big dude over 7'2" inevitably has injury/durability issues and they never hold up to the demanding workload of a regular season + a long playoff run.

And he's the highest paid player on the team, so if he goes down it's not like they can replace him with a decent backup. If he goes down the team is fucked.

Just looking for white dudes? KP used to look like Kareem but he got hurt and put weight on and slowed down, I thought you were asking for dudes 7'2" and above, not white guys
