Steph Curry’s opportunity to have another truly relevant run with Golden State is over; the Warriors are going to waste the remainder of Curry’s productive years without giving him another meaningful championship-level run.

Steph Curry will not publicly complain about how Golden State is handling the end of his career.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

Golden State will not find a meaningful move with its remaining assets that changes its current predicament.

Jalen Brown will get the contract extension he wants from Philadelphia.

⚠️ Disagreement: Simmons strongly doubts Philadelphia will give Brown, Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe max contracts.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

00:09:10 | BILL SIMMONS

Jalen Brown’s offensive role in Philadelphia will shrink substantially, with Simmons projecting roughly an 18.2% usage rate.

⚠️ House disputes that this makes Brown a loser, but does not really dispute that his usage will fall.

Indiana will be more likely than Miami to reach the Eastern Conference Finals; House says there are “under no circumstances” in which he would take Miami over Indiana.

If forced to predict the NBA Finals right now, Simmons has the Knicks facing San Antonio in a Finals rematch.

LeBron James will play fewer than 55 regular-season games this season and therefore will not play enough games to win the NBA assist title.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

00:30:25–00:30:26 | BILL SIMMONS + JOE HOUSE

LeBron James will play more total games for Philadelphia from this point forward than Joel Embiid will over the remainder of Embiid’s Sixers tenure.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

00:33:32 | BILL SIMMONS

LeBron’s Philadelphia stint will not resemble Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay run or Brett Favre's with Minnesota: Simmons does not expect LeBron to produce an MVP-level season or similarly dominate as an aging superstar.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

00:48:39 | BILL SIMMONS

LeBron is not entering his completely washed-up final stage this season; he is roughly two years away from a Celtics-Shaq-type end-of-career decline.

House agrees.

Brandon Aiyuk will not end up with Washington; at best, another NFL team will offer him a tryout, and that team will cut him at the first sign of further problems.

The Raiders will still be starting Kirk Cousins when they play New England in Week 5, because Fernando Mendoza will not be ready.

Paul George will exercise his player option because no other team will sign him to a better deal.

Simmons effectively agrees.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

01:43:10 | BILL SIMMONS

Paul George will exercise his player option next year, making the final year of his contract an expiring deal that Boston can use as part of its next attempt to build a contender.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

01:50:09 | SPORTS DAD

Paul George will again be injury-plagued with Boston and provide (sarcastically) “four good games” this season.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

01:50:58 | BILL SIMMONS

Jalen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe will all play heavy minutes and be capable of carrying Philadelphia through the regular season when LeBron James and Joel Embiid miss games.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

01:57:16 | BILL SIMMONS

Jalen Brown will have to assume a Derek White-type complementary role in Philadelphia rather than functioning as a primary star.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

TBD

Paul George will get injured early, jokes specifically about 19 games into the year.
