Russell Westbrook wants out of Houston

A good move for me by both parties. Westbrook likes to have a similar role that he holds for a long time in OKC.

But I don't know how it will be granted by the Rockets since "correct me if I'm wrong", Westbrook is under contract and will just have a player option in 2022.

Yes, that's correct. Player option at 2022-2023.
That means he will need to play through this season first.
Also, to endure what is Silas proposing.
It is said in the article that there will be "tweaks" in their plays. "Tweak" is not the right word for me. More like "overhaul".
He wants to change the isolation plays that are Harden and WB specialties. It will be a huge change for the whole team.
They are just not used to it. Grin

There are even reports that some main players of both Lakers and Heat might not play in their early games because of that. I don't know how they will organize their time as not playing without a valid reason is against the NBA terms.

At least their management/team can manage to give that a spare if it's necessary. They've just won the finals and they deserve what they're asking.

Agree to you. They really deserve to ask for a small request. Should not be a problem.

Yup, no problem with that. Skipping probably 1-3 games that wouldn't be a problem in my perspective. But it depends how their management will fix things.
I didn't noticed that Hornets also have a new edition of uniform.

Not for those players who played at the Finals. They didn't enjoy much their vacation and due to the season that will start next month, they will fly away again from their families and be separated for a long. Their practice does have limited time unlike those who didn't play in the bubble or got exit early.

There are even reports that some main players of both Lakers and Heat might not play in their early games because of that. I don't know how they will organize their time as not playing without a valid reason is against the NBA terms.

Agreed any bitching and complaining about when the season is going to start can just quit then. I mean most of the world goes to work every week and are happy to just have a job. I think making millions a year they can move their families to where they are at lol I mean cmon.

That's not the point and don't compare normal people's work to NBA players that played in the NBA finals.

These players I'm talking about aren't bitching or complaining. The majority of the NBA players who didn't play in the bubble or got exit early are now fully in shape because most of them didn't play for years now. They are ready anytime to play. Next season will be more competitive because some superstars will now get back in action and these teams that recently played in the Finals are just starting their vacation. And on that vacation, practice is out of their schedule. For example, some Miami Heat's main players suffered injuries in the Finals and need more time to rest. Lakers, on the other hand, especially those in the main lineup, are putting more minutes per game compared to their average.

These players aren't asking aggressively in the NBA. They want to come back of course. But shouldn't be a problem if from Dec. 22 they hope it will be shift in January. The reason the NBA was considered to start the season is because of the annual Christmas Special. Since no choice, LAL and HEAT will play as that was the decision.

What if Rockets would also want him out, if Rockets will keep Harden, it's not still wise to keep westbrook when they already witness how the two play together and it was not good, they can trade Westbrook with more role players, acquire a good big man as that is what they are lacking in the last playoffs.

The season will start next month as per report, and that means players should be in shape now but continuously practicing to have the best chance to qualify in the playoffs in a shortened season.

There's still a month of preparation for them. But mostly every team is in preparation and shaping up their roster. Any particular rumors about roster changes again? on this moment, it's the awaited news per SE.

I hope we see longer NBA season, unlike the bubble season and the lacks of major super stars such as Stephen Curry, Kyrie or Kevin Durant made the game for Lebron to be very easy. But things is starting to get interesting for 2021 as Derick Rose is rumored to get recruited by the Lakers. I miss this guy in his prime, i hope we see a monster Rose and the comeback of GSW core team will make it very interesting.

The NBA regular season bubble in Orlando was just the continuation after the league halted during the rise of pandemic. The reason why some teams weren't present in the bubble because they got eliminated to qualify to the playoffs (GSW for example). Kyrie and Durant was also injured.
If the NBA decides to open the 2021 regular season inside the bubble, that for sure will be longer than the last one. They are actually doing a 72 games which is 10 games shorter from the usual.

Definitely right, longer and it's more fun to watch as all the NBA players will be present in the same venue.
Seeing many games in one day, that would really add more enjoyment to us fans and especially if we are gambling as we are always in action to bet.

GSW is one of the teams I'm looking up to surprise the ranking this coming season.

I think the point is can Orlando accommodate all the teams right now? Or do the NBA needs a second arena close to that the players can travel in and out without sacrificing the safety protocol. This is very important for the NBA management to solve and find the solution prior to the opening.

Players will always be in shape, even Lakers are now, but perhaps they just want to have a longer rest, that's it.

I don't t think they are not happy with this because NBA is the reason why they can manage to feed their family. The only problem here is there are not enough trainings and practices because they are the last one who playd on finals. Even if they reached the finals last season, they also need to make sure that they have enough practice or else the come out of winner will be changed easily. Their another big disadvantage is they don't have enough rest and we all know that even if you are very skillful, if you have not enough rest the skill you got will be worthless

Maybe they will able to accommodate 1k or so people with keeping social distance. And I think it's okay, considering that every arena has around 19-20k seats.

For a 20,000 max capacity for audience area, I think 1,000 is too small if we would only consider the social distancing. These people are still required to wear mask or even face shield, so it's still safe, I guess maybe 30% of the max capacity is already reasonable and that would translate into a figure of 6000 people.

Those are considerable numbers yet if the max is 20k then 6k people will really able to attain that proper social distancing and of course they should always follow those strict

health protocols to prevent another problem.Hopefully this decisions would push through because it is entirely different when you do saw that theres a crowd beside on a actual basketball game

not just only seeing those LCD screens on having some faces but I wont be surprised if we would stick into that once again.

They would want this, but this is actually so expensive for them since they have to test the fans going in the arena, less capacity and other related expenses, I think the ticket would be too costly as well.

Yeah its one of the problem because testing kits and other supplies would really be needed on checking out those people who do tend to enter the stadium or arena.

Aside from time consuming then as mentioned where tickets would neither be doubled or triple the price to compensate the average earning/income of the standard seating capacity.

So its still need some debates and discussions about this proposal.

I think the latest decision was that it wouldn't be a "bubble" like the last time, teams will move around and go to each other's stadiums to play this time around because it is a whole season and not just part of it, it would be nearly impossible to keep that many people in one place for that many months.

However I think the stadium and fan deal will continue, it may lax a bit and have few family members and friends for a limited amount of people, like maybe 100-200 people at most and probably not even 200 all sitting separate and far away from each other. However I believe it will mostly be online web cam join type deal bubble had. Hopefully NBA will take care of any risks involved and constantly tests players non-stop everyday just to make sure we do not face any trouble or breaks.

Adam Silver also hopes that teams will begin next season in their home arenas.

“It’s certainly our goal,” Silver said, referring to playing in arenas. “But it’s dependent on some additional advancements. Rapid testing may be the key here.”

I haven't got news yet of what the set-up will be.
But if you do please share.

Yeah, if Orlando cannot accommodate all 30 teams then it will really be a problem.
Plus, practices are to happen and they cannot just schedule all of them in one day with one gymnasium.
So, they might really put them in another place but I don't think it will be far from the bubble.
Like a bus ride only to arrive at the next destination.

Last season was like a playground for James, I saw one tweet that GSW stars will be back this season would be a great season for sure. I just hope that no more serious or even minor injuries that will happen to anyone this season so all teams will have their full team playing the whole season.

We all hope for that, as a fan, we want to see the best competition in the NBA and not seeing our favorite stars playing due to injury reduces the entertainment value of watching the game, the excitement will be lessened.

Lakers is will be a jam packed team if they can recruit DRose, I am just hoping that he can comeback better this season.

If they get DRose, Damn, this team would be more better because DRose is still playing aggressive basketball and he could drive the ball in the lane and attract the defense on him.

This is the rumor before, and it says that they are not interested with Derrick Rose.

The LA Lakers will not sign Derrick Rose

Quote

As the trade window deadline approaches, it becomes clear that Derrick Rose has no place in Los Angeles.

LeBron James states that the Lakers ‘have enough’ to win the 2020 Finals, and there are rumors that the Lakers Refused To Trade Alex Caruso And Other Assets For Derrick Rose

But... this coming season, Derrick Rose will be free agent and since Rondo and KP would like to be free agent too and will likely get signed by other team, so this opens up an opportunity for the Lakers to sign Derrick Rose.
