After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought…

What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you…)

My hot takes are

  1. Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
  2. The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
  3. LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife’s uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.

      i love holiday and there’s not a more perfect player to fill smart’s role, but one place they definitely differ is their size/strength and ability to guard bigs. that’s probably marcus smart’s biggest defensive strength - his versatility. jrue is also a great defender but he’s much better on the perimeter and he uses his length to swallow up guards. he’s also 33 and he and porzingis have the highest salaries on the team, so if he gets hurt doing that dirty work smart did then it’ll be a huge blow to the team.
