USA is still going worse and worse, thousands of people die every single day, Corona has killed more people in the past 1 month than any other war USA has fought and that says something considering USA stays alive thanks to wars. Even if they are perfectly healthy with no issue at all in 5 months, that would be September or so, bringing the league back that late would be suicide, what are they going to do about next years season if they bring the season back at September.
Just make it a 2 month thing, and then give a week break and start the new season all over again? How are they planning to do free agency, trade deadlines, drafts? All of that has to be taken care of very quickly. All in all cancelling this season without a champion is still by far the best option.

And for the return, for let's say the virus is now controlled after 2-3 months (damn, I hope so), they can use another 2-3 months for a complete assurance that everything is now controlled. From there, they can now push their plan of having games without fans and have a PPV instead.
I am hoping they will not put an expensive price for PPV. If they need profits they might want to get it from advertisements instead. I would not mind having 20 seconds of commercial break.
We all want the entertainment back of course but for the right price.
Actually, I'm also in the position that NBA should be canceled but I don't want to think that way since claiming NBA is done for good also means that the world will be owned by the virus for long. The USA and other big countries are surely working hard to control the pandemic virus. Hoping for positive news in the upcoming months. Cross-fingers.
Somehow, I thought they were the kind of people who don't want anyone handing over them things. I also thought that USA is a large country where people live too far away from each other.
But we can see the numbers now and that means I am wrong.
Anyway, I kinda miss the NBA games, we could've've been close to the first round playoff games by now.
Just a week to go supposedly before the playoffs. April 18 if I'm not mistaken.
We should now see who's the winner at the bottom West where the competition is so close.
Looks like the history is not allowing Spurs to break their playoffs streak appearance lol. They are now surely eliminated for the first time in many years but not officially lol.
Grizzlies played 65 games while Spurs have 63. Even if they win those 2 games it wont be sufficient to get the 8th spot.
Same goes with the other 3 below Grizzlies.
Harden and WB, I dont know what to say but lmao 
Harden should not think of shaving his great beard.
People will just say. Who is the new guy? Did they win a trade?

Wtf!
They seem like a real existing face in the NBA, except it's really weird and funny at the same time.
Look at AD, he looks like the long lost brother of Gobert lol, and Leonard look likes Tim Duncan's small bro.
PG fits perfectly with Leonards hairstyle.
Lebron should try to grow a hair like that, he looks younger with AD's hair lol.
Harden and WB, I dont know what to say but lmao

In fairness, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are looking good at that style compare to those 3 other duos lol.

Has anybody heard about what the salary cut thing resulted with? There was talks about something between 25% to 50% cut for this years money..
It can't just be finalized right away within a short period for some reason. Let's wait for the update.
~snip~
Thanks for the share up and this one made my day at least. Has anybody heard about what the salary cut thing resulted with? There was talks about something between 25% to 50% cut for this years money, I don't know what happened with it.
There are still no updates in regards to that one
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/coronavirus-nba-wants-players-to-take-50-percent-pay-cut-union-counters-with-25-percent-per-report/
Lets wait on what would be the final decision if they would agree with 50% or 25% would be granted.
I am not entirely sure if that is even possible, I mean think about it if there were machines that could test withing minutes, the whole nations would have gotten it by now, it would have been basically done to every single human, however instead we are dealing with tens of thousands of people a day right now, still a good number of course but not unlimited like this article makes the machine sound like.
In the end it is always good to see NBA working towards corona virus, they are super ultra rich and the money they are putting into this would help NBA (which is why they are doing) but it would eventually help other people as well indirectly.

Lol, I thought that was CJ McCollum besides westbrook.. the one who edit that post has nothing to do, maybe he is done watching all the NBA highlights.
now, he is making fun of the NBA stars.
... for sure there's more pictures like that out there... time to smile for awhile in this situation we are at now. People are people and instead of worrying that much with this spreading virus they choose to stay happy. We are not sure how long this might take
the only thing now is to stay safe and find time to keep yourself busy, good example is from this people who made this awesome pictures..

In all fairness, NBA is doing their best that they can. From the testing, assuring players health, compensation and everything into their expense and this will make their players eager to contribute and help them secure that most of them are clear, good and safe.

This is a good idea.
But this might be another big expense for the NBA management.
It will be a good idea too if they will let the players contribute for this one since they will be the one using it for their own health.
They don't want to be the one spreading it too.
The USA and other big countries are surely working hard to control the pandemic virus. Hoping for positive news in the upcoming months. Cross-fingers.
I agree with that, but months has pass and until now they have not found the vaccine yet, although they put a lot of effort but we want to see the result the soonest possible time as more lives will be at risk if there's still no vaccine yet. The NBA if they'll resume will not get a big crowd that they use too, this experience that we are at now will leave some trauma especially to county that are heavily affected. As per experts told on the media it will take long to develop a vaccine since this is a new disease but on thing is good happening right now is some of the other country have a potential medicine to cure those infected person and if they found the solid among those medicine tested for sure we can see a better result and might we can see the games back and expect a high intensity game since for sure players are hungry to dunk or shoot on the hard court after the long quarantine days period.
Potential only but it has not proven yet that it can cure covid because if it is, then people should not panic now, and they will be going out the street once again to get back their normal life. We really have no idea when the medicine or the cure will be release and as we are unsure with it, the NBA season will also be uncertain like other sporting events in the world.

Now I can tell that this is the good news, they will know right away that a person is positive or not, not in our country that it will take days to determine if a person is positive with covid or not, hopefully this will be available soon, US needs to use this for early detection and to minimize the spread.
Be thankful that you guys have some materials to take only days to know whether a person is positive or negative to CoviD-19. In our city we too almost two weeks for the test to show, by that time when the person is positive, he may already pass the virus to others. Our city is one of the city that cannot afford some testing kit like the USA have. Having a fast and accurate testing kit like this will help the people to slow the outbreak in each of their cities.
