    I wonder if anyone on this team really wants to get back at it. Maybe Murray.

    Dreadful decision if this goes ahead. There is a massive * on this season and people are still dying in American alone by the hundres per day to this virus.

    Only for individual workouts, but still seems premature to me.

    Guys going to work out are going to be sweating and breathing all over everything. What are they gonna do, sterilize the gym between every session?

    Thousands. We’re almost to the point of a 9/11 every day, and that’s only officially counting hospital deaths. If they restart the season, they’ll just have to stop it again when players start contracting it. If you do, it’s considered standard procedure to quarantine until two weeks AFTER symptoms stop, so you’ll miss 3-4 weeks.

    There is not going to be a season. Not a chance in . The players and owners desperately want one but you're going to do what three weeks of training camp, a couple of weeks of regular season, and then the playoffs and no one in the league is going to get COVID in that time? I've got a better chance of ing Scarlett Johansson.

    And yet we're opening the economy and nearly everything in it in a few days since red states and Trump are sick of paying unemployment. And Trump doesn't want to throw another crumb to the people since they don't need it to pass another corporate bailout. Mnuchin can just give another $450 billion of low interest loans to them nine more times as a condition of the original bailout bill.

    They will just replace COVID victims with G league guys if they have to. Cash is king. Will be stunned if they dont finish it off.

    Yeah, Dalton Hommes would be a good sub for LeBron or KD.

    One guy on the team gets it and that whole team quarantines for two weeks. Every team they played quarantines for two weeks. Every ref to call their games quarantines for two weeks. Unless you want to move the entire NBA to Greenland it's not happening.

    You are being facetious, but I've actually heard serious chatter suggesting something like this. (South Korea)

    The only thing I can think could work is quarantining EVERYONE involved (team and travelling staff, NBA officials and staff, refs, onsite media, hospitality staff, some non-NBA guys for a replacement pool) for a full month, starting a training camp halfway in while testing the out of everyone along the way. Then play a tournament involving every team without even pretending it's a regular championship. Call it the Tribute Cup or some bull . Do the whole thing in Disney World or some complex in a cleaner locale and separate them by a virtual airlock from the world for the months it will take.

    It's probably going to be way more restrictive than the players are gonna want. Then don't do it.

    . The LAST ing thing S Korea would do would be to admit planes upon planes of Americans into their relatively under control covid19 minimal country.

    Someone has to prepare and serve them food, clean their rooms, handle the luggage. This beast lives on paper and plastic for up to 72 hours. There’s just not a way to keep a group of people this large clean that long, not even if they go with a single elimination tournament.

    I included hospitality staff. They'd all have to be part of the moonshot. Could only be done if public health dudes designed it. I am only a rube with a napkin and a pen.

    Pay the players enough and they will do it.

    I can't see it bringing in enough money to make that happen, though.

    Networks are dying for new programming and I imagine there is pent-up demand for live sports. I'm gonna see if I can find how Taiwan baseball broadcasts are doing with robot audiences.

    Seriously. Let's put 30 guys in close contact, let them breathe and sweat all over each other, and let them all touch the same ball over the course of 2 hours. And that's not even factoring in staff, refs, crews, etc...

    Then let's do it on a night-by-night basis with 16-30 teams.

    How can that go wrong?

    It's more likely that next season gets postponed than this season actually finishes.

    I think it's much more likely the next season gets cancelled than this one not being cancelled.
