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
- Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
- The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
- 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.
If Seattle and Vegas are the expansion teams, Minnesota should be the team relocating to the Eastern Conference.
Minnesota travels more than any other team in the league due to being very isolated in their division
Considering Seattle would most likely join the Northwest Division and Vegas would most likely join either Pacific or Northwest Division, it makes more sense to move the Timberwolves and not the Grizzlies/Pelicans who are both in the Southwest Division
Historically Minnesota teams in other sports have bigger rivalries with the cities that are currently in the Eastern Conference (Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Milwaukee)
