Western Conference
Lillard will never win shyt as a #1....team needs reconstruction. That WCF appearance was a fluke
Bagley going #2 over Luka is a way bigger blunder than Trae/Reddish. Dude will never be an Allstar
Suns will be a perennial playoff team soon
Nuggets will make another WCF or two but will never get over the hump
As long as Bron is in the league, he will be a top 20 player
Clips will not win a title with Kawhi
KAT is prob the most talented big of his generation but will never make it past the 2and round, if he even gets that far
Even with the million draft picks they have, OKC wont make another WCF while Presti is there
Pop will retire next year
Utah made it as far as they ever will last year, team hit their ceiling
Luka is great but drastically overrated....he's nowhere near a true MVP candidate
This year's Rockets squad is the most talented they've ever had. Wall will have a bounceback year
Zion is great but will never finish top 3 in MVP voting. Its Ingrams team and BI has turned corner into being an actual baby KD that many predicted he would be

That’s more "probable" than hot take, I think.

Well, these are the betting odds for MIP...
  • Jaren Jackson Jr. +1000
  • Jamal Murray +1000
  • DeAndre Ayton +1400
  • Coby White +1400
  • Tyler Herro +2000
  • Malik Beasley +2500
  • Wendell Carter Jr. +2500
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander +2500
  • Zion Williamson +2500
Markelle is listed at +5000.
