    What's up @NBAsxn ? It's been a long and exciting off-season, but I can't deny that the past few weeks have been slow. Training camp is right around the corner, so I think it's a great time to start discussing our predictions for the upcoming season. I'll be doing just about everything, but feel free to post as many or as little as you want.

    We can lock the thread when the season starts and reference it throughout the year.

    @Ordinary Joel Completely slipped my mind that Hoiberg is inheriting a top 3 team in the East. Unless he sucks he will definitely win Coach of the Year.

    All I know is that my Lakers are gonna sweep the season 82-0 and win the Finals 16-0 and Kobe is gonna get the MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, and he's not gonna get injured halfway through the season and then I woke up.

    @Big Mitch Otto Porter is a solid pick for MIP, he started playing really well towards the end of the season.

    Indeed he did! And I think he'll have a chance to make a big impact this season with Pierce gone for LA. Bradley Beal is also another player to watch for MIP. Wizards are a few years out of serious contention IMO.

    Yeah big time. They're all still pretty young. I think they need to move on from Nene though he looked like s--- in the playoffs.

    Yeah definitely. I bet a lot of Wizards fans wouldn't mind seeing him dealt. They have cap room for KD next year too, so if they can get a solid center plus KD in FA next season, they'll be scary.

    Idk I've always felt like KD would stay in OKC. He seems to like how low key it is there but who knows? Maybe as he's gotten older he wants to be in a bigger market.

    A lot of teams will have cap room so I'm expecting the off season to be even crazier than this years.

    I forgot to mention that I think it's a long shot for KD, but you never know what can happen in FA. But yeah. That's why I love the NBA I think it easily has the most entertaining FA period in sports. Next summer will be epic.

    On the real. I had a dream yesterday that the Bucks won the Championship over a team (can't remember which team smh). Snoop Dogg hit 11-20 something threes to be Finals MVP.

    I could see that, but he really needs to improve that jumper. The fact that he couldn't consistently knock down a shot outside of 15' killed him against the Bulls in the playoffs.

    Yea, I expected him to do better last season, but maybe he'll really step it up this season with a healthy squad :jordan:
    As a Bucks fan, the best we can do is hope.

    To be honest, the future of the team depends on Jabari's knee. Not a good feeling, and that's coming from a diehard Bulls fan.

    I'm not familiar enough with NBA to do the template but I certainly think Cleveland are the team to beat this year. I'm a Nets fan though so I've kinda settled for mediocrity tbh...
