What prediction hot takes do you have for the upcoming season? This will be a nice spot for keeping track of receipts and “see I told you so” predictions. My prediction hot takes: 1. Dalton will be in the conversation for Rookie of the year. I think JJ’s going to give him the minutes he needs as long as his defense isn’t atrocious. 2. Austin will have a break out year. I think Austin will average around 20 per game and increase his assists drastically. 3. I think the Lakers will finish 4th in the West IF we get Vando back early in the season and no long term injuries to AD during the season. If not we’re probably 7th or 8th.
All that. …. and I think Bronny is going to surprise with how rapidly he’s improved since the combine and continues with that through the season. Hachimura improves and so does Max.

I'm expecting similar results to last season out of the gate tbh. I do think, that we will be looking to trade several guys by December. Depending on the trade, and injury situation with Lebron and AD(lack of hopefully) we are going to end up in the Conference Finals. I seriously doubt that the squad, that starts this campaign, will be the same one that finishes it.
I predict we will play our best guys and trust whatever the analytics show us. Hopefully that results in more wins and JJ ends up being a good hire.
