Alright guys this sub is a little dead and to bring a little discussion here I thought it would be fun to make some predications for next season!

MVP : Shai

DPOY : AD

MIP : Victor Wembayama

COTY : Redick

6MOY : Reid repeats

Champion : Thunder

I also predict the Nuggets will have a troubling season if no trades are made. Losing KCP and replacing him with Westbrook is going to be disastrous unless Braun really steps it up.

What’s some of your fun, realistic or even wild takes?

    MVP: Luka

    DPOY: Wemby

    MIP: Wemby (feels weird to say given he was ROY and 2nd in DPOY but think he gets it)

    COTY: Dagneault (Thunder Coach) Repeat

    Darkhorse Candidate: Pop - if Spurs make playoffs I could see him getting it if no other candidate stands out. Partially due to legacy

    6MOY: Malik Monk (has anyone won this b2b? kinda basing it off that)

    WCF Winner: Nuggets

    ECF Winner: Celtics

    Champion: Nuggets (Source: Copium)

    I think you’re likely right on them losing KCP though, they need to hit on most of:

    • Braun stepping up a level consistently
    • MPJ to improve more, I give him a bit of a pass on the cold shooting this year given the situations with his brothers
    • Watson developing some offense so he’s more playable
    • Westbrook sticking to his role and not trying to do too much
    • One of the young guys to step up and be solid for some bench minutes

    I could see 1 or 2 of these happening but they need like 3-4 to win along with Murray playing like their winning season since the margin of error is so slim without KCP and how good the Celtics are.

      I like the dark horse candidate! Pop would deserve it if he can take that team to a top 5 seed.

      I like your picks. Luka is for sure going to be a top MVP getter and I’m ashamed to admit it but I forgot about him when I was making my predictions. Good call out on him and Pop!

        No shame there’s a lot of good candidates honestly and Shai would be my (very close) 2nd pick!
