My hot take: clippers do better than what most people expect, and because they have way less pressure this szn they will indirectly/unexpectedly develop a young player in their "bad young core" who will help them.

Thunder still need another season before they r real title contenders, they might make it to the finals and lose but they still dont have enough experience and thats fine, I drunk cried in my bathroom when my celtics lost in the finals to curry n friends. Said the thunder had a 2nd round ceiling last year and I was right and I think they could go all the way to the finals this year but I still dont think they will win it just, or come particularly close to it. Ill start being scared the year after unless jdub turns into an actual 2nd option in the playoffs and chet puts on 15 pounds.
If they get homecourt over the celtics, they could definitely beat them as long as their fans play mind games. That Thunder crowd is loud AF, but the Celtics have made some offseason moves as well, make no mistake.
@@jasonrichardson1999 I honestly think his knees are in better shape than Ja's, the way they control themselves midair has so much more impact than how much weight that they have to control.
@@kjjr3270u forgot that a trio of Steph, klay, and KD did it. Plus SGA is definitely starter but it is possible for Chet and j-dub to at least get wildcard spots.
I partially agree with the first SGA take. Yes, i think we will see a notable drop in his PPG. But everything else stays the same and he gets MVP because theyre winning 63-68 games
Is it me or does this guy change teams every few videos? I could swear I heard him say he was a Thunder fan a few months ago. Is this like a running gag?
brandon miller MIP -- hornets biggest jump bc miller year 2, melo back, williams back, bench much better (grant williams,tre, micic, richards, curry, tidjaine, and nsj is top 10 bench imo) , lee better coach --- 17-18 win jump imo
I dislike Draymond Green so much that I hope that the Warriors do not make the playoffs. My dislike towards Draymond is stronger than my respect and love for Steph. Green should be banned from the league. I refuse to even look up stats from the team or watch highlights, forget a game😂
I think outside of hitting the Reed Sheppard pick, I think the Rockets unironically made one of the worst trades in the NBA offseason, and it is MINDBLOWING that no one is talking about it. We gave the Brooklyn Nets (a team that we know will be awful), their ENTIRE draft future back, in order to get the phoenix suns picks... In order to chase an aging Kevin Durant???? To add to a team of young, athletic players? Seriously this trade is so horrible, that even that moron Suns owner LAUGHED at us for thinking about gettting KD. I think because the Rockets aren't the Lakers, they aren't getting clowned for this, but this trade just looks HORRIBLE every passing day
The rockets still own a 2027 swap with the nets. Also im sure there gonna target booker. Ik kd was the reported target but booker makes more sense if the suns dont work out. Rockets have suns 2025 swap, suns 2027 unprotected, suns 2029 unprotected. Rockets also have jalen green, amen thompson, reed sheppard, whitmore ect. Big young core they could use. Ofc this would depend on how suns season goes. At the moment id assume their a playoff/playin team
@@M8trix6363 I hope it works out but just being a Houston native, Im so used to disappointment. Like if were banking on getting DBook, it doesn't make sense because even if the Suns fully implode, KD and Beal are likely getting the boot and they make DBook the franchise player. But it ALSO doesnt make sense because if the Rockets somehow have an enticing package that convinces the Suns and their delusional owner to completely rebuild and tear it down, there's no way they aren't asking for the entire farm, and then we've traded the farm and the Booker trade is pointless. This Rockets GM has surprisingly made mostly good moves and draft choices, but selling the Nets future back to them was just idiotic. If were chasing an aging KD that clearly cannot lead a team to a Chip, then were idiots. We also have.... Tari Eason? Jabari Smith? Cam Whitmore????? how about we literally follow in the mold of MOST championship teams and actually develop our core around our defensive minded coach Ime Udoka?
The smartest thing the Rockets could've literally done was just... run it back. be patient and wait for free agency. take advantage of the fact that we don't have to commit right away to giving Sengun or Jalen Green a massive contract, and see how they develop, along with Amen Thompson and the rest of our young core. If Amen takes a HUGE leap, we can trade that Van Fleet contract that people were clowning, and all of a sudden if we really want to chase a star, we absolutely can. Or in my ideal scenario, target an all-star supporting piece that can serve as the "glue" of the roster, like a Lauri Markkennen or Dejonte Murray, Donovan Mitchell, etc. We could absolutely bring in an all-star calibur player, and use that cap space to build out one of the deepest rosters and benches in the entire NBA, then adjust depending on who in our young core performs or fails. Idk Im not a GM to be fair, but it just really seemed silly to give away those Nets picks. maybe another team like the Jazz where you wouldnt be entirely certain where theyre finishing, but like we know the Nets will be horrible. just a really boneheaded "win now" trade that is just all too familiar for me being a Houston sports native. So funny that the Texans of all Houston teams seem to be taking the best approach considering for most of my entire life they were the WORST offenders of chasing aging stars (Vince Wilfork, Ed Reed yuck) lol
@@hunchosett i dont think beal will get the boot, his contract is bad. Making 50 mil a yr for 3 yrs and he has a no trade clause so he dictates where he goes. If suns decide to boot then i think books gone because they literally have no future. All their picks are gone besides 2031. They have no young assets and whatever they get from a kd trade hypothetically wont be enough. Books in his prime yrs so he would probably want out. Also i dont think it would take the entire farm for book, rockets got alot of assets.
@@hunchosett the rockets are still developing their young core at the moment. They havent done anything drastic other than the suns and nets draft pick deal. Also that vanvleet contract is technically an expiring since its got a team option. I never thought it was a bad deal because teams have to spend 90% of the salary cap, the rockets at the time were horrible and needed leadership + to start somewhat winning. I think your being a little too negative on the rockets at the moment.
A lot of these are people just saying dream scenarios for their favorite team. That's not having a hot take, it's just being delusional about your favorite team. The Shai one is a good one.
I promise you that if SGA did fall off a cliff in the first few months of the season, he won’t meet the 65 game quota to qualify for MVP.
day 2 of asking for every nba teams worst defender
terrible idea 😂😂
This but every nba teams worst starting defender.
Lebron is the worst defender I. The league…Trae works harder than LeRest
Hater.
Lebron is a top 15 defender all time. 1-5@@DunningKrugerJnr
Yes please do this lol and also every team's best defender?
that SGA take is absolutely outrageous hahaha
It’s just thinly veiled hate anyone with common sense could tell that it’s delusional lol
Checked and hes a Mavs fan, of course he has a take like that lmfao. No real ball watcher/knower will have a take like that.
SGAs body control and mid-game along with his free throw rate and time of possession will keep him at least top 5
He’s also one of the most athletic guards in the league
@@MrBubblecake I think his ability to sidestep is second only to Luka. He knows how to get to his spots.

Part of the Bucks problem is Dame is their only real perimeter threat now that Holiday is gone. Middleton isn’t that guy, he’s way too inconsistent to be a 3rd scoring option.
@@MrBubblecakefunny you say Middleton to inconsistent when that’s also dame problem btw 😂
That Steph take is basically a Warriors fan making an educated wish
Bro thought he could use the same sabonis clips for the kings from the center video and we wouldn’t notice 😎
kings fan here, totally agree, we have a shot but it definitely is in terms of circumstance or a breakout year from a couple people

probably likes the thunder but he's definitely an nyk fan
Need more of this
i hate how hot takes are mainly delusional fans (especially warriors fans) or contrarians
Kings are sneaky 4-5 seed
after the sga take did dude really say alex caruso wasn’t know for his defense
Missed the thread but my late submission is that the Hornets are gonna make the play-ins
Hot take: Tatum will get his first 1st place MVP vote
Hot take:
Kings in the western conference finals.
As a biased Warriors fan I like that last hot take

Tyrese Haliburton averages 28 and 12 leads the Pacers to 60 dubs and wins the MVP at age 25.

Green should be banned from the league. I refuse to even look up stats from the team or watch highlights, forget a game😂
Brunson finished 4th in MVP voting, just a correction for you
I think Hornets make playoffs and do way better than expected
My (possibly) hot take: Scottie Barnes is All-NBA Third Team
Me who has the Lakers as the eight seed😂😂😂
Not even a Hot Take, Mavs winning it all 🤷🏽♂️
LOL to that Lakers/JJ Reddick take.
If the thunder fail to be in the top 4 seed, def can see Shai out of top 5 mvp
Atlanta take could fasho happen, they have a very similar roster to their 2021 ECF run.
