The Phoenix Suns will win the 2023 NBA Championship

I think we'd be remiss though if we didn't start out the show by congratulating Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns for winning the 2023 NBA Championship. Congratulations. Yes. Yes. It's his year... I feel like this has gotta be his year... There's no way that they lose.

The Brooklyn Nets won the James Harden for Ben Simmons trade

I disagree. I think the Nets got the better end of the deal. Between Harden and Embiid, you basically get like a three-month period with James Harden where he can truly be happy in any environment before he starts to hate something about his life... Ben Simmons, I feel like the Nets could be the right place for Ben to be because he doesn't have to shoot.

Joel Embiid and James Harden will play great together but Embiid will get injured in March

I think James Harden and Joel Embiid are going to be fucking insane together. And they're going to go on a tear. And then Joel Embiid is going to get injured at like the end of March.

Andrew Wiggins will be the new Jeff Green and get traded constantly

Andrew Wiggins, I feel like might be a new age Jeff Green where he will get traded now. This will start the process of him being traded a million different ways. He's better than that, but a million different teams and everyone will keep saying, well, he's only 26. Well, he's only 27. He's got all the upside.

Al Horford might be a locker room cancer

It could be Al, though. I mean, he was part of the Celtics last year. They were a locker room disaster. People think it was Kyrie. They're a locker room disaster. What's a common denominator?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are going all-in for the 8-seed

Then the Cavs did the opposite and traded for [Andre] Drummond and were like, we're going to go for this. ... There's nothing better than the team that's just like, we're all in for the 8 seed.
