Jordan Poole gonna average 30+ on 25% shooting

[@chalnervassor9430]

Nah he gonna be a little better than that because he is allowed to cook but I ain’t expecting more than 45 percent

[@BoxingisgoatedBoxingisgoated]

If his rizz mode is active than he puts up 40 point per game with out it like 12 on 12 percent (just a joke by the way)

[@TimDaGoof]

It’s the playoffs that matter bro

[@dericksalvoro930]

Hot take: Trade Kyrie for J Brown. Helps both teams.

[@brandongordon2392]

My five hot takes…. Note these are hot takes, I don’t expect them to be right, as a matter of fact I think that three of them are completely wrong and not going to happen, see points 2, 3 & 4 I just want to have fun and look back at them as say, well damn… 1.) Anthony Edwards will finish top three in MVP Voting… 2.) Neither Victor Wenbayama or Chet Holmgren will win Rookie of the Year 3.) Dillon Brooks will win most improved player of the year… 4.) The Oklahoma City Thunder will be a top four seed in the West… 5.) The Celtics will split up Brown/Tatum after another failed Eastern Conference playoff

[@yourebreakingmyballs4787]

1 and 3 are very unlikely. 2 is actually likely imo

[@TheDesisgarf]

Rudy, Rusty & myself could be the other starters along Kyrie and Doncic and we’d still be an elite offense, they really need a game changer type of defender to compete for a ring, if they can get their hands on a JJJ type of guy, they’re definitely contenders

[@thecryptkeeper5]

Zero chance Embiid is better without Harden. I will take that bet all day every day. For real. Someone put money up on this.

Hot Takes -Herb Jones will be a DPOY Candidate -Tyrese Haliburton will be in MVP talks(Top 8 in voting) -Knicks are going to be a 50 win team -The Utah Jazz will be a play in team this year -Gabe Vincent will be in 6MOTY talks

[@ilovebmo]

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

Hot takes: 1. The Orlando Magic will easily make the playoffs and possibly make it to the 2nd round. 2. Jordan Poole will be an All-Star 3. Chet Holmgren will win ROTY or DPOY. 4. Markelle Fultz will win MIP 5. Tyler Herro will have a better season than Damian Lillard

[@quintupleovertime]

Mavs are tough to predict, they could be contending or they might be fighting in the play in

[@trentonpearson7353]

For real on #5 ranking the West top 11 is really tough. They all have potential to be in the playofs. Let alone Utah could be in the mix as well. There are only like 2-3 teams in the conference that have 0 chance.

[@TRA-Grouse]

Dillon brooks gets the rockets to the play in

[@fredrodni3552]

[@fredrodni3552]

Rockets ain't making the play in ☠️

[@Sqeaky6969]

What a nice teammate, he's buying tickets for the whole team

[@EonArashi]

The Wizards have a number of interesting guys. Tyus getting to be a starter could average 17/4/8 on good efficiency, Corey Kispert is a walking bucket who pairs elite shooting and strong off-ball movement with good cutting ability, and Daniel Gafford could have a breakout season as the primary 5 for this Wizards team. Coulibialy (I think that’s how you spell it?) has tons of defensive potential, so he’s worth watching. Avdija is a guy who can do anything, just not necessarily *well*, but if he can find a role instead of being shoved out there just to complete the starting 5, he could finally reach some of that lottery-pick potential. And Johnny Davis also exists. Do I think they’ll be good? Nah. But definitely interesting, especially for statheads like me.

[@holdmyweight3597]

Hot Takes: 1. The Suns win 70+ regular season games. 2. The Cavs get the #1 seed in the East. 3. The Grizzlies miss the playoffs. 4. The Hornets make the playoffs. 5. Sixers get off to a bad start. Embiid and Nurse clash/have their differences resulting in Nurse getting fired within 20 games. 6. The Spurs fire Popovich some point during the season. 7. Austin Reaves makes the allstar team. 8. The Knicks win the in-season tournament and their fans act like they won the title. 9. If still on the Heat, Tyler Herro leads them in ppg. 10. The Bulls blow it up, trading Lavine, Derozan, and Vucevic before the trade deadline. 11. Jordan Poole averages 30+ppg. 12. The Warriors end up waiving Chris Paul.

[@bapbaj1389]

Rockets gonna be a top defensive team with brooks and thompson (when they arent tanking)

[@whocares3201]

With a defensivly washed FVV, Sengun and Green starting? good luck with that lol

[@CaptainBuggyDClown]

Hell no

[@timmytheinventor4746]

No.

[@shorewall]

I believe in the concept of addition by subtraction, but I think Harden sacrificed a lot to make Embiid look better. And I think without Harden, Embiid will look a lot more normal.

[@cahrles2687]

I'd tend to disagree, he averaged 30 without Him or ben he can do it again. Although It'd be nice for him to get more playmaking reps because this team has no true passer/playmaker- potential lineup like Patrick Beverely Tyrese Maxey Tobias Harris Pj Tucker(He's trash) Joel Embiid(THE GOAT)

[@jamespratt529]

Y’all should go watch the spurs series on the third channel, Jacob really does a good job with it 👍🏼😀

[@atticus._]

dude idk, warriors fans from what I saw hated poole, maybe in a situation where winning is irrelevant that won’t matter but I could see myself being very depressed having him as my best player

[@conorwatchvidz]

W video, I’d be incredibly shocked if the Mavs win 57 games, I feel like they’re gonna continue to be a mess

[@jacobhadar8572]

I LOVE THE DALLAS TAKE

[@amonkosi4415]

Centers take longer to settle in than guards, you can look at Jokic and Embidd as oerfect examples. They still had to grow into their adult bodies

[@dr.meatsack2712]

Joel has been scoring 20+ every season he played

[@holdmyweight3597]

@dr.meatsack2712 I think he said Embiid cause he missed the first 2 yrs of his career with injury

[@tobi5988]

My top 5 hot takes: 1. The Sacramento Kings will get worse and fall from the 3 seed to the 6th seed/somewhere in the play in. Not because they'll get worse, but other teams will get better. 2. The Boston Celtics got better in terms of talent, but they're most likely gonna get knocked out of the first or second round due to health issues (KP/Brogdon) and some slight choking. 3. The Portland Trailblazers are being phonies trying to get Miami to empty out their assets. They already have Simons, Sharpe, and Scoot, why do they need so much assets other than draft picks? Im speaking as a Portland Trailblazers fan. 4. Speaking of Scoot, he will win ROTY over Chet, Wemby, and Miller. 5. If the Heat get Dame, the Nuggets and Heat will have a rematch in the Finals, but the Heat will still lose to the Nuggets in 7

[@Amari_14]

Brogdan was struggling in the playoffs last year anyways and they were 1 Tatum injury away from the finals and Porzingis had 3 healthy seasons so idk

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

When you have a top 15 player in the league and trying to trade him you suppose To get the most value that you can as a owner and gm that what good owners and gm”s do plus why not since they have leverage it would be stupid for Portland to only take draft picks for a top 15 player because if they do that then it be the same fans saying they should have gotten a better deal and they fumble the trade

[@divin3symphani31]

[@gilly2026]

I think if anything, Luka or Jayson Tatum are next up for MVP. I know Embiid, Giannis, and Joker will be in the convo and you coulda argue that all 3 would be the top 3 candidates too but voter fatigue is real and jt or Luka haven’t won one yet so I feel like it’s going to either of them

[@crystalizedExposed]

luka is gonna be an uphill batte, lukas 100% a better player than taytum but taytum will have a better record and mavericks having a top seed is gonna be iffy

[@fortynights1513]

@@holdmyweight359745% is the highest of his career. But last year he was 43% and he is gonna start being guarded by the best players. We arent taking that into consideration. ALso Shai gets to the free throw line regularly and is super efficient. I can see Poole starting off hot bt now that teams are gameplanning for his specific I just dont see him being as successful as everyone. Ant Edwards was averaging less than 25ppg last season. Foxx has never averaged 26ppg before. i dont see him being more dominant offensivaly than either of those guys.

[@Shortballa11]

@@holdmyweight3597All the high scoring guys share the same thing, lots of free throws. Trae was number #7 last year. Steph is the only exception because he is so efficient shooting. Gobert isnt and offensive threat and KAT didnt play most the season. And its not just that Fox didnt average more than 25 last year. Its that he never has. My point is that its not as easy as everyone thinks it is. You still have to be elite even in this era to be averaging over 25ppg.

The west is never healthy, so I don’t see many teams cracking 50 wins. Unless if they magically are healthy this season, then they’ll have like 4 teams with 50+.
