Now that we have a month of basketball, we can start reflecting on our predictions. If you want to move on from one of your picks, let me know. Remember that older correct picks are worth more than newer correct picks.
We had a couple new participants join the contest in October. The contest is still open to new folks as the season rolls on.
Here's the current state of the competition with your max possible score next to your name:

I'm not quite ready to move on from Luka, but it's not looking great for Dallas. The nice thing is that Giannis and Jokic are also on struggling teams.
The pot is still only about 4k, but I'm sure it will continue to grow.
If you want to join this contest, just leave your predictions for MVP, Champion, and All-NBA 1st team in the comments. See the June post for more details.

My picks still look perfect. Giannis is going to be MVP and win me some fiat which I can sweep into Bitcoin and the Pacers have turned the corner. They managed to win a game!
reply
Do we have the option to edit or it's just one time pick?
I wish we had an NBA and an NFL Prediction pool like the one we have for Cricket.
reply
You can change your picks whenever you want. Just be aware that later picks are worth less than earlier picks.
Getting off of that Pacers pick would be fairly wise.

Thank you for the update.
I want to remove Wemby and Brunson from my All NBA picks and change to Tatum and Giannis. Thanks!

He's been playing very well despite his team sucking.
reply
Do you think he'll get traded?

He might ask for a trade if they continue to suck. Or maybe force them to trade Dame for something. The Bucks is in a really bad position right now, as they have no picks, no young talent, and not much expendable assets to trade for what they need: defense and 3 point shooting shooting.
reply
The question would be if they can get enough back for Dame, Lopez, and whoever else has positive trade value, to rebuild a contender in the next couple of seasons.
If not, then trading Giannis is the move to make while his trade value is still astronomical.

Spurs should trade for him. I want to see Giannis and Wemby on the same team.
reply
Maybe this is who OKC should cash in their chips for.

Yes to the Raptors.
We will the Bucks Dick in return.
reply
I imagine they'd be excited about taking Dick for Giannis.
I'll see myself out.
