I have been a fan of basketball for a long time. Have had many bad takes.
Here are some bad takes. I would like to state that I have also had extremely good takes as well.
Notable bad takes. I was definitely in favor of keeping Curry over Ellis but I did say that Warriors should at least consider a Deron Williams for Curry trade.
I thought the Klay pick wasn't great, I thought the Warriors should have picked Alec Burks. I thought the Kings drafting Nic Stauskas was a good pick as well as Thomas Robinson. Although I did at the time think Lillard was a better pick I thought Thomas Robinson was also a steal at number 5. I thought Willie Cauley-Stein was also a good pick to pair next to Cousins.
Year after year during the Spurs glory years with Duncan I predicted their demise due to them aging. They won like two championships after I started saying this.
More recently I took the hot take that the Gobert trade was good for Minnesota. I also thought Anthony Edwards was a bad choice at no. 1. But then I used the existence of Edwards as being so good that trading draft picks doesn't matter for Minnesota.
That the Kings should trade D'Aaron Fox for Ben Simmons...terrible take. Sorry Kings fans. I think my Kings takes have been the worst.
I'd Doncic and the Mavs actually win the title that would be the biggest carry job since Rick Barry did it in the 70s. Although Doncic does have Kyrie, I just don't think Kyrie is really noticeably better than Brunson at this point and the supporting cast is weaker than when the Mavs last made the conference finals.
