Every year we make predictions about the NBA in some cases we hit and in others we get unexpected results… this year will not be different… I want to know what is the opinion of the community on the questions presented in the sections below:
Section 1 – Teams
1) Which team will win the title this year?
2) Which team will fail to meet expectations?
3) Which team will surpass expectations?
Section 2 – Trades
1) Who will be the biggest name traded during this season? And to which team?
2) If different from above, who will be the most *shockingly* traded player this season?
3) If different from question 1 above, name the traded player who will have the greatest impact on his new team’s playoff run.
4) Post your favorite team, and one player on your team that you expect to be moved this year. (Answer may be the same as question 1 or 2 above.) If you’re bold, also name the acquiring team and at least one piece of the return.
Section 3 – Players
1) Who will be the next big breakout star at each position?
2) Which player will fail to meet expectations?
3) Which players will retire in 2015?
Section 4 – Awards
1) Who will be the NBA MVP?
2) Who will be the NBA Rookie of the Year?
3) Who will be the NBA Defensive Player of the Year?
4) Who will be the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year?
5) Who will be the NBA Sixth Man of the Year?
6) Who will be the NBA Coach of the Year?
7) Who will be the NBA Executive of the Year?
This is mostly just to get your predictions; you are always free to discuss… Just post your own answers and have fun!
