Terrence Shannon Jr will have at least a couple nice dunks.
West goes undefeated against East
We win more than a single game in the conference finals, ik scorching hot take
The Wolves move Rudy, either before or during the season.
Naz Reid will win a unanimous MVP
For the entire league, my hottest take is that the Bucks make the Eastern Conference Finals and I also have the Clippers missing the Playoffs.
Wolves Specific – Mike Conley bounces back and is a guy counted on to close out games and plays well enough that he is signed for one more season in 2026-27.
Not sure if it’s truly hottest, but I see OKC getting bounced in 1st or 2nd round after a lackluster regular season.
Rudy masters an 8-15 foot push shot (please god)
TSJ for MVP
Naz Reid is gonna Naz Reid
I expect Divo to be a way better player next season, came in without training camp and for the first half of the season the whole teams vibes were way off. I can see him winning 6MOTY or even getting a starting spot if Ants playmaking continues to improve.
The Timberwolves will win the 2025 NBA Championship… because Rudy Gobert unlocks telepathy.
Halfway through the season, Gobert enters a deep meditative trance during a cold plunge in Lake Minnetonka. He emerges—silent, glowing, and incapable of missing a rotation. Teammates report that he no longer calls out switches; he simply thinks them into existence.
Opposing offenses short-circuit. Guards throw passes directly to him. Shooters pump-fake themselves. The Nuggets try to run a pick-and-roll, and Jamal Murray suddenly forgets how to dribble. Nikola Jokić retires mid-series to herd goats in Serbia and “rebalance the spiritual plane.”
Meanwhile…
Anthony Edwards ditches sneakers and starts hooping in Timberland boots, claiming it helps him “stay rooted.” He drops 40 a night while reciting Maya Angelou poems mid-drive.
Naz Reid becomes the first Sixth Man of the Year who also DJs halftime from the bench. His mixtape, “Boards and Beats Vol. 1,” goes triple platinum.
During the Finals, Gobert levitates during a jump ball. Adam Silver faints. The Wolves sweep the Celtics, but no one remembers Games 2–4—just hazy dreams and static footage. Gobert gives his Finals MVP speech entirely in binary code, which analysts later translate to a perfectly optimized defensive scheme.
The league will shift into a “let them play” mode instead of the frequent and constant whistles for marginal contact or offensive players initiating contact and getting rewarded with FT.
I’d love to see a huge OKC/SGA slump.
Skinny Luka will be no more durable than Fat Luka.
Ant will win MVP.
Rudy will take and make a 3.
SGA won’t be able to foul bait anymore as it will become a point of emphasis just like the putting a foot down under the shooter foul got hyper analyzed. This will result in players like Caruso and Williams not being able to hold players constantly and OKC will fall off.
We still have a PG problem at season end and don’t make it out of first round
Edwards will be the best player in the league
Randle is gone by the deadline. McDaniels averages 17/6/3. Book it.
Dillingham ends up starting more games than Conley or Donte.
Beringer doesn’t push Rudy out of the starting lineup, but shows out enough that there will be talks in the offseason.
ANT will be all NBA first team and average 30 or more PPG.
Rudy Gobert will develop a Kareem like skyhook that will make Shaq hate him even more.
At this time next year, we’ll be talking about this TSJ being clearly the second option behind Ant. The vision will be to build around a TSJ and ANT back court.
