The Middle of Everywhere: NWI
Anthony Davis (free agent in 2020) - My pick is New Orleans. Knowing he was disrespected in free agency this year, I believe Julius Randle will be a breakout star this season, and a much better fit next to A.D. than Boogie. They could be ready to compete for the #3 seed (it would be tough for AD to leave that) if they are able to replace Rondo's playing. Signing Elfrid Payton to their biannual exception was a nice low-risk gamble.
Giannis (free agent in 2021) - Milwaukee. New stadium, relatively new ownership, he's not going anywhere. Obviously the 2019 decisions of Middleton and Bledsoe will at least have some bearing on what Giannis does, but in my humble opinion - Both of those guys would have to move on in order to get Giannis to legitimately look elsewhere.
All in all, not the sexiest predictions on my part. But, I truly believe these two guys will break the precedent set by the "look at me" generation, and I think Towns will follow suit when he signs his third contract. Hopefully Oladipo as well.
