NBA has made that format already, we are in pandemic so things are different here.

First we have a game without a crowd, now the number of games played are lessened, we can't be surprise with that as it's expected that there will be a lot of changes given the situation we are facing now, and also take note, the reduction of player's salary hasn't place yet, what more if that will be placed, I'm sure a lot of players will complain, but they have to understand that NBA was not anymore making money on its usual revenue.

Cooperation and understanding is what the NBA needs now.

They've given us one of the best comeback in sports even in the midst of the pandemic. I think that's more than enough what they can offer. And if they have to lessen the next season then be it.

It's different what we used to see but if it's needed and necessary, we have to adapt.

Well, it's not certainly the economy will stop but I think sports can still wait and should must if they want more revenues to come up for example on the tickets as this one been affected the most IMO.

Sports does not need to stop, even with crowdless venue, they are still making money as they have online subscribers and advertisers, the only difference is that their revenue will reduce, and I think it's good to stick at this set up now that the virus has not been contained.

Exactly, the NBA are still making money in the bubble, and since they have a success in their last one, expect that they will get more revenue as the next season will open up, however, we can't compare it to the old situation as the entertainment industry has been struggling due to the pandemic, but nonetheless, they are making ways to survive, and that's what NBA is doing.

As long as they are doing great in handling the safety of the players and staff, then it's alright to continue the season. Sports can wait but they already prove to us that nothing can stop sports, even during this pandemic. So there are no reason for them to not do it again next season.

And why do they need to wait for more revenues if they can continue earning even a small portion compared to pre-covid, it's still better than not earning and just waiting for the virus to be gone.

I think that's different in the bubble. If all the teams goes back to the bubble following all the protocols and health safety, they will be allowed. He can give it a consideration as it became a success and the next season is about to come. But it's also worrying that it's likely that the bubble will stop but to classify it with gymnasiums, we don't know what's next. Right now, I don't think that it will affect the upcoming season. Hopefully, it won't and he won't focus stopping the league because of covid as it has proved to be an effective style to continue.

Yeah, don't want to be pessimistic here.
I want the game to go on. Not as normal as it was but still a better way to entertain people while staying at home.
Lockdowns will work properly if they can turn on the television and can watch live games.
Perhaps, that's a good reason to push Biden (if he wins) to let the NBA continue in the bubble.

Biden wins, he is now the new president of the USA and I think the NBA bubble is not really a problem since they already had a success before. The bubble set up will continue and NBA will continue to give us the kind of entertainment we enjoyed last season, and I would say, the new set up worked.

Yeah, I don't think NBA will be affected regardless of who are going to win the US presidential elections. Everything has now been set up for next month start of the NBA and by that time, there could be improvements in the safety protocols because for sure NBA has learn a thing or two during the 2019-2020 bubble games.

There could be more self isolations, players being tested more frequently, contract tracing, etc.

I'm always welcome with that kind of protocol as all we want to see is a successful next season, more test the better as it will ensure that no virus will enter the venue. This time is bigger because it's the whole NBA teams that are going to play, so they need to make sure the place is safe from the covid-19 as we don't want to see delay of games or worst cancellation of the NBA season.

It is still early to discuss on what will happen in the next season because there is still pandemic and there is a recent projection saying if the NBA starts at early January, they may incur losses amounting $1 Billion and above because audiences are still not allowed to watch inside the stadium to prevent the spread of the virus. I'm sure that a lot of audiences especially the bettors like me who are now excited to watch and make a bet a game again in NBA. I do not know if the commissioner will form a bubble again to start the Pre-Season.

What do you mean it's too early to discuss? The next season will open on December 22 as stated earlier, go back read and you will see that someone posted a link already, coming from the players association approving the said date. Of course audience are still not allowed because of the covid-19 situation, but it doesn't mean that NBA will not start a new season as it has proven that 'The Bubble' was really a success.

It looks like this offseason will shortest in NBA history with only 71 days, and I hope most players will be able to recover after the playoff.
Otherwise, we will see many injuries in the next season.

This wasn't the first time he is complaining in relation to this from what I know he is also against the fact that the NBA is playing 82 games per season as compared to other leagues out there, I mean I totally understand him. He started to play in the NBA at a very young age and he is reaching this years where he wants to spend time with his family and do non-Basketball activities. I think its fair for the league to give them this short period for offseason as they have shutdown the league for a long period before they resumed giving the players some time off from the game.

Well, NBA also needs to get back on its feet.
They lost a lot and they want the profits back.
It's still about the money of course. That is priority.
Also, I think they want to resume faster to adjust everything back to normal.
Remember, October should have been the start of the season but because of the pandemic they need to adjust.
Now, they need to catch up.

I think Adam Silver also agrees changing the system but it needs time to be implemented.
Just not sure if they are working on it.

What we are forgetting is the fact that the owners of these teams do not have their only income from these teams, not even remotely close. Actually owners of these teams do not even profit from them sometimes, depends on the team obviously because there are ones that profits but there are plenty of ones that do not profit neither, that is not the point really for them at all.

Warriors literally had a loss one of the years they won the league, like you could actually become champions in NBA and lose money and that would be normal because you paid sooooo much luxury tax on top of everything.

At the end of the day I feel like the increase in teams prices are the real economical reason why teams are bought, what you buy for 2 billion 10 years ago becomes 10 billion so you make a profit, mean while you spent under 1 billion to keep the team afloat, which rich person wouldn't do that.

Forgot to consider that.
Thanks for the reminder.
Yeah, it might be just sweet words but I also agree with his campaign and he should do it in a better way.
Open entertainment in a safe way but without second chances if they don't follow simple protocols. i.e. mask, 1 meter away, and so on.

Quote from: Reid on November 07, 2020, 01:25:43 PM

Now let's combine politics and USA Sports (especially NBA of course) and sports gambling. Grin

"Do not open gymnasiums."

Quote

Biden has appeared more willing than Trump to aggressively address COVID-19 in the short term with hopes that it will curtail the spread of the disease in the long term. He has supported a national mask mandate and said in August that he would implement a national lockdown if scientists recommend taking that step.

"If you have a reproduction rate in a community that's above a certain level, everybody says, slow up," Biden said during a presidential debate. "More social distancing. Do not open bars and do not open gymnasiums. Do not open until you get this under control, under more control."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2020/11/07/joe-bidens-election-and-how-could-impact-world-sports/6160249002/

We all know he is winning.
High chances of NBA being stopped or will not even start in December if ever he will focus on what he said during his campaigns.
Defeating Covid-19 is one of those. That means lockdowns.

That is for sure a nice campaign to go through maybe defeat first the virus so that we have the crowd the next season. Well, I certainly agree with more extensive fight for this virus rather but hope he will a devised plan as we all know that campaigns are only those flowering words comes to those mouth of every politicians and only few or rare ones do want they say worst is not.

The N.B.A.’s players have tentatively approved the league’s plan to start the 2020-21 season on Dec. 22, which would require them to report to their teams for training camps in less than a month

Crowd is not expected yet, nobody would allow them to accept crowd if the vaccine is not yet release, otherwise it will only create more problem in the long run, they'll be doing the same bubble set up IMO.

Exactly. The lockdowns or stay at home protocols are going to make everyone bored and if there's no entertainment like the NBA league, I'm sure that it will create a lot of problems for some that are not contented with the stay at home policies.
But it could not be a big deal for them, AFAIK, he'll sit on January 2021 so if the league will start by December 2020 there's still enough time for it to start. Anyway if I have said something wrong about dates and policies, cmiiw.

Devin Booker is not the type of player that can go to any team he wants and make that team a championship contender. Sure Miami had a finals season which we were all shocked, we were expecting other teams at the finals and mainly bucks but Miami somehow got to finals, but putting Devin Booker in there in exchange of any player like hero or Robinson, you are not going to guarantee championship contention, you are just making sure you are a contender but there are at least 3-4 other teams at that level.

Only way he could actually make a chance would be going to either a team that is too good like Lakers or clippers or bucks, or he could go to a team that could grow with him like Nuggets which could actually get him with few players and they are very young so they could grow together.

You have a good point though, but we never know what's gonna happen as we only see Booker playing in one team on his NBA career and we are amazed by his big improvement especially in the bubble that he always make his team qualified in the playoffs.

His team is not really built as a championship contented but he has the talent that could be very useful for a strong team that has been struggling until now, like the Bucks, or who knows, maybe he could fit with the Heat to pair with Jimmy.

There's a lot of talent for this young guy which I believe any team would go after him.
