Summary

We put on our fortune-telling hats and look at what we expect the 2020-21 NBA season to bring. With 4 of the league's top-10 players potentially on the move this summer, the prediction business gets difficult indeed. We pick our Final 4, All-NBA...

Well, this could be a fun one that we do every year before the playoffs start looking ahead to

0:06.1

basically where we're going to be a little over two years from now, our 2021 Crystal Ball.

0:11.7

And look at who's going to be the NBA champion. Very difficult actually. A lot harder than it's

0:17.3

been with the Warriors dominance. And try and pick some on the BAT teams MVP. Just talk about

0:23.3

what the general landscape of the league is going to look like in 2021. And then also this time,

0:28.9

we actually is the 30 year we've done this. We're not quite there, but we're coming up on the

0:34.0

time period. We actually predicted two years ago in our 2019 Crystal Balls. We're going to go

0:37.6

back and look at how those predictions are doing because you know, we always hold ourselves

0:41.2

accountable here on Dunked on. So you some thoughts you want to start with here just on what the

0:46.1

overall landscape the league might look like in 2021. It squares up interestingly because

0:51.8

there should be a lot of movement or at least the opportunity for movement this offseason.

0:57.0

That's why a lot of this is so hard to predict. I mean about half maybe a little more than

1:01.7

half of the league is going to be free agents this year. That's an incredible number. It's not just

like all the bad guys. It's you know, a bunch of stars and we could really see them see them move.

1:10.2

So from a team perspective, that's a big thing you have to deal with something else to consider.

1:14.2

Though I wouldn't emphasize this as much as that, you know, we just we saw Anthony Davis

1:18.4

agitate about a year before his contract expires. So if you even want to look at the 2021 unrestricted

1:25.0

Frage and so the season we're talking about is 2021. So that year and so that's 2021. So after

1:31.5

that season is when Yannis and Damien Lillarder Frage and third among the high profile guys.

1:36.4

So if they wanted to move, they would have probably already done that by then because you don't

1:40.4

want to you know, you want to do that in or before that season. And so that's one one big thing.

1:45.5

And then I think that the other important one and this is actually something I brought up last
