2023 offseason thread

Maybe years from now I can see it. Next season? Nope. Way too soon.

C'mon...get on board. We are doing BOLD predictions this AM.

Just watch is all I can say, I believe it

Jokic, Embiid, KD, LeBron, Tatum, Giannis, Luka, Steph, Dame, etc… I’m not seeing it.

That’s ok. Oh, SGA is on that list.

Yeah I have him top 15

 

[DJ]

I'm tired...this getting older shit is some straight BS.

 

[thunderc]

Yeah I have him top 15

We will see if he can back up his first team all nba.

Wish I could say it gets better

Embiid on the Thunder with all that young talent?

They could be a contender if they add him and another disgruntled star....they have the picks to add a few studs.

They have to make a move with all those picks at some point. Pair another star with SG&A + young talent and they are contender in 2 years. No reason to keep or use all those picks. They could throw 6 or 7 on Embiid and still have a ton of picks

 

[Shanemansj13]

I’ll make another prediction, at the end of the upcoming season Jalen Williams will be considered a top 10 player in the league. That’s how good I think he is.

I'm sure we will have a predictions thread soon. I love the kid but saying he will be a top 10 player will mean he will form into a borderline superstar or high level star player in year two. Not likely.

For example, Donovan Mitchell probably isn't in the top 10 player.

 

[Mebert]

I know....they could trade for 2 stars...

Or 1 star and KAT!

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm not sure what Dieng will be one day but the only young guys safe on OKC's roster is probably Chet and Jalen. Everyone else can be thrown in with picks. Giddey keeps improving and his value you will be pretty high.

Yup, Williams is going to be much better than Mitchell.

Chet at the 3, Towns at the 4 and Embiid at the 5. Who is stopping that? LOL

That is fine but not this year LOL

Think thunder might disagree with this.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Think thunder might disagree with this.

Why? Giddey is not safe if they trade for a superstar. Y

They will keep Giddey but if you are trading for Embiid you can't just throw them picks. They will want a young star. Giddey is most likely out in that scenario imo

 

[thunderc]

Think thunder might disagree with this.

Eh not necessarily but what matters is I’m confident Presti disagrees with it. Dort can guard 1-5, not easy to find.

You would trade Giddey and SGA?

Just depends on the deal, I doubt Presti would.
