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.

Spurs grab Luka in free-agency and absolutely run the West for a while.

Spurs will be wrapping up their fivepeat with Wemby winning 3 straight MVPs and ESPN will still insist LeBron is better

Zion makes an all-nba team and is washed out and no longer a starter in the span of 5 years.

Saudi Arabia has purchased the Lakers, China bought the Rockets, expansion teams in Seattle Vegas Mexico City and Calgary.

The playoffs will reseed teams 1-16 based on regular season records instead of using conferences.

Jokic will have 3 championships and will become a top 15 all time player

[–] AcrobaticFeedback@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In 5 years:

Lebron hasn't retired and plays on a Vegas expansion team.

Jokic is retired with 2-3 rings.

Kyrie, Harden and Simmons are out of the league sooner rather than later.

Ja Morant is dead.

OKC fail to keep all their young core and fuck up again in some way like they did with Harden.

Wemby is the best player in the league but is yet to win a ring - Gets early Lebron-like criticism.

Zion is having a part-time career like Kawhi. Looks unstoppable when he plays.

It is not unusual for players to be still in their primes at 35.

Durant is still playing at a high level 20+ ppg.

The Bulls are still mid.

The Cavs young core never make an ECF.

The Knicks still haven't made an ECF.

The Clippers continue to be cursed.

Hornets still suck.

76ers collapse and enter another rebuild.

The Warriors have one more deep playoff run.

Booker and Doncic somehow become teammates.

Both expansion teams will be playoff teams.

The suns will be struggling to stay competitive halfway through their decade of no draft picks by Isaiah Thomasing terrible contracts to aging/injury-prone players.

[–] Choice-Meeting1143@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jokic and Giannis will add MVPs, Rings, and Fmvps. That will elevate them to Top 20-15 all time discussion.
