NBA Hot Takes Thread for 2020-21

[trick]

Wizards will be top 6 seed

Hawks finally take a step forward and make the playoffs

Lonzo Ball will be MIP and sign his max in the offseason

Raptors miss the playoffs

 

[Captain Crunch]

Wiseman is a bigger Giannis with a jumper

7ft Giannis w/ a jumper would be one of the greatest players ever

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Ja Morant will be All NBA and receive votes in MVP

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Hm.

He has a lot of work to do to be on Ja's level. Zion's game might not age well...it's believable.

It's not like there's zero chance, but it's a real stretch.

Mavs miss the playoffs

rockets with or without harden go deep in the playoffs

suns make the conference finals

Lonzo Ball will be MIP and sign his max in the offseason

Yeah those are some pretty fukking hot takes.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where Rockets/Suns go deep but the Mavs don't make the playoffs at all.

 

[Ironman]

RJ Barrett getting Most improved

 

[Shadow King]

raps and warriors will miss the playoffs

Brandon Ingram is the top player from his draft class

Denver needs to trade for Harden

Steph is terrible and overrated

Dame isn't a top-10 player

Luka is overrated. You gonna put up good numbers when you pounding the rock for 23 seconds every possession

KP is the most important piece the Mavs got.

Dame isn't a top 10 player and will see another 1st round exit.

Nets are taking the title

Harden stays with Houston and the Rockets finish top 3 in the West

Are we sure Tatum is the best young player on the Celtics?

Wiseman is a bigger Giannis with a jumper

This thread is living up to its name

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Pelicans will get a top 5 seed in the west. Ingram and Zion will be all stars.

Mavericks will be a 7-10 seed.

Heat lose in the first round.

 

[Paper Boi]

i don't take any hot take serious if it's just a post that can be easily forgotten.

if you really believe that shyt, make the thread for later bumping

 

[Swagnificent]

remember that time ppl talked mad shyt about trae young in order to big up luka?

Both are trash.

The NBA right now is as low on talent as I can ever remember.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

All the other shyt I posted was posts I read, but this one is my own hot take:

Deni Avdija is already a better NBA player than LaMelo Ball and will remain that way.

 

[Copy Ninja]

This just posted in Lonzo vs Jaylen thread -

Im taking zo still


Zo bout to have his breakout season

Celts wont win nothing brown a 3 not a 2 and he not a playmaker like zo

Hot take season

 

[NatiboyB]

Luka Doncic WILL play at least one game in Black face!

 

[Professor K.]

The Hawks will be a 6 seed or higher and the way they utilize their depth and rotations will set a new template for team building in the "post-superteam" era.

 

[Ironman]

Phoenix will have a better record than the Mavs

 

[TOAD99]

RJ will win most improved player


Jaylen brown might actually be better than Tatum
