That’s why I knew from the beginning that the idea wouldn’t work. Imagine the uproar if Lebron or Giannis caught the rona and was out the rest of the playoffs.

Thats sports tho :yeshrug:
Show me one team who ever won a ship with a 100% healthy roster from start to finish.
That's why it's a team game and a team sposed to be able to overcome injuries if they want to win

Idk I'm split. One hand hand safety is always going to be a concern, on the other hand it's in the most simple form your job.

You can't stay away from your family for 3 months?

The salary cap hit ist real and players will feel it too. Just fukking play.
These are NBA players. Not truck drivers, not astronauts, not soldiers. The longest their job ever requires them to be away from their family is maybe a 2 week opposite coast road trip, and even then they can always bring their family with them if they want to. Being stuck in Disneyworld for 3 months is nowhere in the job description :francis:

This plan is horribly thought out and planned. No visitors til after the first round? They really expect these players to go that long without sex?

Replacement players?

latest



I love the passive aggressiveness of fans like their complaints matter and they're giving the players an ultimatum, "hey if the players want to miss out on millions of dollars, that's fine with me:hubie:"

Well yes, in normal times thats accurate. The NBA has done much for its players and it feels like players and the league have a good relationship.

Take one for the Team. Its only a couple weeks and the salary cap hit will be smaller.

This is wayyyyy different and uncharted territory though. A entire team could end up needed to get quarantined and essentially forfeit their chances of winning a championship.

Take for example most regular people aren’t happy with working during Covid and don’t even wanna be going back to work even right now.

One footlocker employee told me today after his store opened back up he didn’t wanna work cause “home was lit” :heh:

Imagine 3 months off basketball relaxing with your family watching everything going on in the world and just dropping it all to get back in shape/move to Orlando and play for an 8th seed or 1st/2nd round exit :snoop:

It's funny because I have the opposite reaction. I'm dying to get back to the office and away from home. But it's probably because I live with my girl and these pets. It might be different if I was solo. Also, I have a job that requires me to travel and meet people so basically being at home is a hindrance.

So we go from one player to a whole team? :pachaha:

They already said any individual who catch it gonna be 14 day'd by themselves.
If a whole team catch it then :yeshrugs: thems the breaks. Wouldn't catch nothing if they chose not to play but then it also wouldnt be a champion if they did that.
Damned if you do damned if you dont scenario.
