Makes sense. You can't really run a draft for next season without even knowing if this season is done yet.

Playing for time. They need to stay in the news. When they cancel the season, and they will, they drop out of the news cycle for months.
i agree with that, they just need time to figure it out and imo it's less and less possible that they will maintain the end of the regular season.
Can't believe it has only been a month and a half since the season stopped. DeRozan choking games away and Pop's insistence on treating Forbes like the next Leonard seems like ancient history.
I read the article outlining what they’re calling The Bubble. That’s all the people who need to be quarantined for three months. Players, team personnel, refs, score keepers, hotel personnel, media, media support. They were very thourough, but they forgot the hookers. None of these guys are going three months without strange fur. Incidentally, their estimate, sans hookers, was 1500 people.
No way players are going to stay quarantined for 3 months no freaking way. The NBA is just plain desperate to think they goi g to be able to pull this off just call the end and work on what they going to do next season
Just put a Gold Club at Disney World with the same 30 skanks for the entire league.
They desperately want the Fakers and LeBrick to win the le.
Hey robdiaz man, your dad doing alright now?
Bubble is impractical for that long. They need to drop the facade of finishing the season. This is just going to be a weird exhibition/experiment to learn from and give people something to watch. Some kind of tournament so ty teams and their personnel can go home sooner and the league can have the draft then concentrate on scheduling national broadcasts of good matchups.
Im not watching any of that if it comes back this year.
The discussion of some of the players is: "what about my summer vacation with my family that we as NBA players are accustomed to? Playing through the summer will ruin that." I'd would say, "yeah, whateves, live like the rest of us do!" But also, I'm thinking that the NBA would have to shorten what's left of the 2020 season if they were to play through the summer because the 2021 regular season begins in October, unless they delay that too, and shorten it as well, to eventually get back on track for the 2022 season. As much as some of the players and fans hate the possibility of washing out this season, with the understanding that championship quests and possibilities are at stake, but in reality and logistically, it's just too much of a feat to fulfill, in my opinion. The NBA should just go ahead and cancel the season, and look ahead to the 2021 season. Sorry LeBum!
You got a link to that? I mean how tone-deaf is that to hear millionaires ing about their vacations while thousands are dying every day from COVID?
3 months wont fly. Better just end the regular season now, then have WNBA type, 3 game series till it closes. Lebron gets his half a le and the NBA is happy.
If that's the players' union position I'd force majeure them out of their paychecks and tell them see you in December. isn't normal anymore and a couple months MGM Grand or Disney World working vacation with the family while people are dying isn't the worst thing that could happen in your lives.
Bringing family too? That shuts down my Disney World Gold Club idea then.
Yeah man, thanks for asking. He recovered rather quickly once he left the hospital. My mom on the other hand was just just released about 2 days ago. She tested positive for covid, was scary for awhile but it looks like she's out of the woods now.
I think that was part of MGM's offer. I don't think side pieces or groupies were mentioned. I can't see single dudes from ty teams staying in the bubble for three months playing for nothing, that's why I keep pushing the shorter tournament scheme. Lottery teams can be whittled down in single elimination against each other then best of three the rest of the way. Show multiple games live on TNT/ESPN/ABC/regionals and make all the replays available free with commercials on NBAtv apps. Donate a ton of proceeds to food banks, say this is for the fans and 'merica/Canada and the world and hopefully we can get back to $10 Bud Light pints next season.
Great news!
the NFL is already looking at changing the time training camp starts no way in can NBA have any games anytime soon. If I was a player I would say “ No” if you make me go I am going to sue your ass and win.
Damn, glad to hear things eventually turned out ok. That had to be scary as .
Then they don't get paid. There are ways to do it but it's going to be so weird and isolated who knows if anyone would actually want to go through with it?
Even that seems way too difficult to implement. You test and have a two week self quarantine in the bubble, then a two week training camp to try to get everyone back in half basketball shape, and then a two week tournament and that's already a month and a half. Doesn't sound doable IMO. That two week tournament isn't going to be worth it to the players because no way it's going to come anywhere close to the 25% of salary they have lost. I'm sure the owners would love it for the extra cash since they wouldn't be the ones going to the bubble. They just need to cancel the season.
Thanks man, I appreciate it.Great news!
