OKC Thunder: SGA for MVP. Best record in basketball. This team is scary young and scary good. Cleveland Cavaliers: Donovan Mitchell is playing the best basketball of his life. The Mobley leap is real. Wembanyama: 3.8 blocks/game at 7'4" with a three-point shot. He's breaking basketball.
Phoenix Suns: Three max players, zero chemistry. The Beal contract is an anchor. LA Lakers: LeBron at 41 can't carry a roster this thin. The supporting cast is a disaster. Brooklyn Nets: The tank is on. Zero direction. The post-KD/Harden/Kyrie era is bleak.
Houston Rockets in the top 4: Sengun and Green are the most fun young duo in basketball. Spurs in the play-in: Wemby accelerated the rebuild by 2 years. Knicks as legit contenders: The Brunson-OG-Towns trio just works.
Thunder beat Celtics in the Finals in 6 games. SGA wins Finals MVP. Wemby wins DPOY. The 2026 offseason will be chaos — half the league tries to trade for a star to keep up with OKC.
