"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."

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.

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.

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.

It's logical that they don't want to miss Christmas special games and start season early instead of mid-January.
I don't know how they handle all these off-season things in only one month but hope for the best, we should see a covid free season again.
Regular season has 10 game cut, this is not a big problem because people hype about special games and such more.

At least they are back on schedule, only those who are going to be affected are the Lakers and Miami Heat. The rest has enough time to regroup and start to practice prior to the opening.

Indeed. The good thing is they are back on track and fans will see their favorite players and team competing again. They are all professionals for sure adjustment can be done.

In terms of teams to preparations, everyone needs to start conditioning their lineups. We are all hoping to see regular games same as what we usually watch.

Quote

I'm reading Booker potential move to Bucks, damn, if these happens, many players in the bucks are going to be traded, most likely Middleton or Bledsoe could be the bait here.

It's un-avoided as Booker value needs to be catered by the bucks, they need to open cap if they are serious about getting booker to
their squad, not even it cause to let go stars like Middleton and Bledsoe.

Yeah, that means more money. Ads, ads, ads. Grin

I think the leadership of the NBA will use any chance to earn additional money, considering that they lost a lot of money in the previous season. So it's okay if they will start next season on Christmas with another commercial video and many ads.

Eric Bledsoe had $70m 4 year contract, while Devin Booker had $158m 5 year contract in Phoenix. But Booker's value might increase because he's becoming better and better every year. Most specially during the NBA bubble when the Suns has been undefeated while Booker averages 30ppg shooting over 50% fg.
I'm afraid Middleton will be involved If we're talking about the Booker to Bucks trade.

They would not touch Middleton I guess, he was also playing very well during the bubble and by far the most consistent player in the Bucks roster when it comes to generating points and making clutch shots.

Sure the Bucks won't do that, but the Phoenix Suns will surely demand Middleton to be in the trade.
But anyway, I really want this kid Devin Booker to be out of the Phoenix Suns. I mean he deserves to be playing in the playoffs every year. The Suns isn't providing him anyone who could actually help him get to the post season.
It's just a good choice that Booker actually wants to leave Phoenix. I hope he could land a good team like Bucks, Sixers, or Minnesota.

I prefer him to be with the nuggets, miami or boston celtics. These teams were great but they need other key players that could help them lift their chances of winning in every game. It is possible for him to join other team like KD that does want to get an MVP and championship that he was able to join golden states that time when golden states are already championsm. Now KD is doing well with other team also but not able to get a good support in the last season with now show up in the play offs likewise with the GSW.

It's time for the Bucks to take that risk, they keep their players, nothing will change, they will dominate in the regular season but they will tank in the playoffs. I guess some players like Eric Bledsoe and other high payed athlete can be a good trade for Booker.

Bucks will have a big 3 with Giannis, Booker, and Middleton.

That looks a legit big 3, right?

I think you have a good goal here to want Bucks to be strong and take the championship this season.
But, the cap space will always be the wall.
As said by chaser15, it will cost them a lot and that means roleplayers being traded.
You can't do that while trying to fill Bucks with players that compliment the strength of Giannis.

What could be done is difficult than what could be told. It is easy to say something than to do things around. Now with the NBA opening season I think this could be a difficult task for the NBA organizers following the mandate of the WHO new protocols for all people involve in the NBA event. Fans now are waiting for the next season to get fun in watching next season players movement team adjustments and the possible team that could step up to play offs and finals.

Booker could be a good answer for a team that is chasing a championship that is struggling, like the Bucks, if he will play with the Bucks, I think he can help Giannis to be in the NBA Finals as he has the consistency and anytime he could explode.

It might cost them a good players in exchange for that supposed trade. Bucks core will be destroyed in exchange for Booker.

Even Giannis' future is not sure about the Bucks so maybe Booker will not show interest.

But Milwaukee Bucks isn't one of the teams in the rumor. Booker can also consider the Golden State Warriors for his championship goal but I don't know if Warriors will consider giving him a max contract as The Splash Brothers already have a good contract. Wink

Let's check out their payroll : https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MIL.html

As we can see, we still have Lopez and George hill which also has a decent salary in the Roster, even Lopez and Bledsoe would be enough to trade with Booker IMO.

As stated in the article, Booker should chase the championship and that's the reason why he should leave Phoenix Suns.

But it's more of personal views of the author and not actually a report.

And if ever, he wants to switch team, I don't see Minnesota and New York (from the article) can fulfill Booker wants. These teams aren't contenders even with a healthy lineup. Phoenix will also found a good trade in exchange.

Would be big if Devin Booker would want to get out of the Suns.

As of now, he is still in contract with his current team with a whooping $158M for five years, does it mean he wants to be traded to other team?

Still a rumor so I can't comment much about it.

But for me, Booker should give Phoenix Suns at least a season or couple more and see what's their plan about roster rebranding. He is still young so he can gamble at least a few more years while enjoying a good contract.

He would definitely go with Timberwolves for possible options but still the contract isnt over yet then Suns should at least have some plan about change up in roster.

The players has now approved the start date and 72 game schedule.

So it's more than one month from now and we will see NBA games again.

So from the usual 82 games, they cut into 72 games to catchup to the usual pattern (until June or July).

Teams on the recent NBA finals only has a short break and they will now confined again for long in the bubble. I expect latecomers from these teams.

And to add to that, the Rookie Draft will take place on November 18 then will play right away after a month.
