Offseason Predictions:
-Chris Paul does not resign with the Clippers. Instead he signs with the Hawks in a sign and trade for Lou Williams, Deshawn Stevenson, and Jeff Teague
-After another drama filled summer, Dwight Howard chooses not to resign with the Lakers after earlier in the year verbally agreeing to a 6 year $125 million contract. He also decides to sign with Atlanta, in a sign and trade sending Devin Harris and Al Horford to the Lakers
-Josh Smith resigns with Atlanta..... you see where I'm going with this...
-13'14 Hawks lineup: Paul, Morrow, Smith, Pachulia, Howard
-Hawks become instant contenders in the East
-Kobe decides to retire in after the 13-14 season and says he just wants to have fun his last season.
-Thunder fails to match James Harden's offer with the Phoenix Suns
-Durant and Westbrook tension arises deciding whose fault it was that Harden left
-Durant and Westbrook frequently take shots at eachother over summer
-With Lakers out of the picture, and Thunder in team turmoil, Nuggets emerge as a top favorite to come out of the west, with Iguodala slowly turning into an established star
-Tim Duncan suddenly retires after a rarely sufferely torn ACL injury in the playoffs
-Manu Ginobli on trading block during off-season

^ Just some random predictions. Oh well, you guys catch my drift. I know they may seem crazy, but I honestly think this shit will go down.

 

[Showtime]

Nuggets over Lakers? Don't think I've ever laughed harder. Like that will ever happen.

some nice predictions in there I suppose, although prediction records is impossible as you never know when a major guy could get injured or have a random guy bust out in a big way.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

DPOY: DeMarcus Cousins
MVP: LeBron James
ROY: Damian Lillard
MIP: Jrue Holiday
COY: Lawrence Frank
Sixth Man OY: Marshon Brooks

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

DEMARCUS COUSINS PLAYING DEFENSE? MY SIDES

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

I think he'll be around 14 REB/2 BLK/2.5 STL

Solid shit.

 

[SAIYANS]

DPOY: Dwight Howard
MVP: LeBron James
ROY: MGK
MIP: Jrue Holiday
COY: Tom Thibodeaux
Sixth Man OY: JR Smith

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

Jesus and 20 PPG? That's MVP type numbers I don't see him doing that well.

But if he does...well shit.

 

[PHX]

This might as well be the official NBA thread so I just changed it to that since predicts is a good way to start anyways.

Won't do all my predicts but just will guess awards.

DPOY: Serge Ibaka

MVP: Dwight Howard

ROY: Anthony Davis

MIP: Micheal Beasley

COY: Doug Collins

Sixth Man OY: James Harden

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Jesus and 20 PPG? That's MVP type numbers I don't see him doing that well.

But if he does...well shit.

I just jinxed him. Better trade him to me.

 

[Showtime]

3 players have ever posted 2+ steals and 2+ blocks and of course WWF is dumb enough to think Cousins will join that list.

I'm hoping he was just joking.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

You're fact checking my predictions?

 

[Showtime]

nah, I just thought your prediction was absurd. So I wanted to see how many times it actually has been done and realized it's even more absurd than I first thought. Hell, you probably only picked Cousins to win because you don't want Dwight to win it.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

You think I hate Dwight?

 

[Showtime]

it's either that or you're a moron. evon:

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Those are my troll predictions. I could post my legit ones if you'd like.
