The hot takes/predictions thread

1) Bucks have significant problems this season and Mavs trade for Giannis at the TDL when the Bucks are on pace to be in the play-in. Giannis is happy to play with Luka and his youngest son, Maverick, is thrilled.

2) Kyrie asks for a trade by the TDL. Mavs outperform expectations before and after the trade.

3) 76ers will miss the playoffs and will have a fire sale by the TDL

I actually have the dead opposite view of Kyrie. I think Kyrie is going to be extremely motivated to prove his doubters wrong and he's going to be completely locked in to be successful with the Mavs, not just this season, but for the duration of his contract. A lot can happen in three years, or even one, but I think Kyrie is serious about wanting to spend the rest of his career here.

And I think we will an elite offense and win 50+ games.

Mavs go 38-44

OMax becomes staring SF after mavs trade Green at TDL. Mavs dont want another Brunson situation.

Kyrie quits on the team by Christmas.

Luka starts hinting to be traded toward the end of the season.

Powell is our starting center on day 1 and game 82.

Doom and Gloom?????
Yes... I dont see any reason why Kyrie would become anything different than what he has been. We already saw the small sample size and how that turned out.

Jesus christ, why don't I just blow my fucking brains out already rather than follow the team if it's this bad?
