2021-2022 hot takes thread

[infection]

Bring out your ridiculous predictions. I’ll start:

- Conley won’t be an all-star, but Bojan will be.

- Someone on the team not named Rudy will make an all-defensive team. I don’t know who that will be.

Jazz find their Marc Gasol/Jrue Holiday type move. Win the championship. EZ

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Hassan Whiteside will be good. (All the preseason evidence says this is wrong… he’s sand bagging and waiting for real games)


Jared Butler’s emergence leads the Jazz to trade JC for a different bench piece… JB makes an all rookie team.

Yep I’ll roll with your Butler there and add another layer of steaming hot to the take by saying they then trade JC to Houston for Exum and fillers to upgrade the perimeter D lol

Donovan Mitchell wins MVP

 

[NAOS]

Donovan Mitchell will play some defense every now and then.

Here is a shocker, Rudy will win Defensive Player Of the Year...yea, you heard it here first...

Quin develops a specialized hockey like rotation called "the 5 outs" specifically developed to disrupt 5 out offenses. It catches on and becomes the new trend in the NBA next year.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Paschall/Gay will play more minutes at the 5 than Whiteside/Udoka

Paschall/Gay will play more minutes at the 5 than Whiteside/Udoka

Maybe JZ wanted Quin to adapt but he won’t go small unless the big is terrible and dumb… then he signs Whiteside to a deal… problem solved?

I’m still in the “let’s give Whiteside some time” camp but I am 100% in the let’s play with some small guys camp.

I think the Jazz just have bad backup 5's so Rudy's +/- gets boosted.
