As of now, US have 245000 people infected with covid, do you think it's still right to continue the entertainment while people are suffering?

The answer is simple. Stop and focus on healing and lowering the case. Their not gonna benefit out of this.

On the other hand,

The uprise of players and NBA personnel has growing immensely too. Latest addition was James Dolan that has been confirmed positive on Corona virus. Totalling of 14 confirmed cases. Wow such high numbers would just means a long gap for another season.

Quote from: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/knicks-owner-james-dolan-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-in-self-isolation-with-little-to-no-symptoms

The coronavirus pandemic has made its way through the NBA, with 14 confirmed cases and five players announcing their positive COVID-19 tests. On Saturday, the New York Knicks added to the NBA tally by confirming that Madison Square Garden Company Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Dolan has contracted the coronavirus.

Some of the players and even coaches and staff should really observed social distancin to avoid such addition to the currenr confirm figures.

When you are putting players in Las Vegas and making them play there to finish the league, you are not just putting players there, you are putting coaches, assistant coaches, floor moppers, broadcasters, doctors and many other people there as well, even if there is nobody watching live there in the arena. This is why I think it is quite risky. Could it be done? Sure it could be, but is it really the solution we are looking for? It feels like it wouldn't be fun at all and just would be "lets get this over with already" type of situation which doesn't really worth all the risks involved if you ask me.

Exactly, the kind of analogy I'm looking for. Just like what I have mentioned in my previous comment in this thread, I'm thinking resuming with their business ain't a good idea.
Doctors are essentially needed to the public to combat the virus, than being in a business in this dire situation.
This might be labeled as a selfish act from the NBA by holding some medical experts to continue their business amidst the growing number of covid cases in america.

Yeah right, those doctors and nurses shouldn't be privatize more people are in need of those services and if NBA will drag them since they will
reopen the season it's not appropriate.
Every help for the people should be provided as it can bring life to every people around..

It's a matter of priority now, and the US are surely in need of doctor and nurses to fight the covid-19.
They have no assurance as to when the increase of infection will stop, why would the private organization would not understand that, instead of helping the government, they are just thinking of their personal interest. As of now, US have 245000 people infected with covid, do you think it's still right to continue the entertainment while people are suffering?

There is a fine line between making sure the fans are getting the fun they deserve and making sure that NBA doesn't pay a huge penalty and make sure that contracts suddenly doesn't drop because cap will have to be lower due to lack of money NBA teams made etc etc, but also putting lifes in danger.

That is still a small amount.
When you do groceries there might be more people there than this game.
100 - 200 person? Not much of a problem. As long as they have been checked wherever they will temporarily stay and also checked again before going in the basketball floor.
All of them must be cleared.

14 days is the maturity of the virus. So, if they are now doing the quarantine for those who will go in and out the court then in May it will all be safe for all those person that will be joining them from the cameraman to the mop boy.

No it's not easy as you think and try to think because we don't know on what will be the price outcome of that suggestion since imagine instead the doctor will save lives of the victims of covid they are there watching and monitoring the players health and its a big burden in health care industry since they need front liners for now aswell on where on earth all the players stay? on 1 venue? its not good to see since they are exposing theirselves eventhough they are closely monitored.

That's why its really better to suspend the season and continue this when the pandemic ends for people safety and the economy aswell.

It is indeed a selfish act for them to resume for the sake of profits/business and risking out human lives just for that.It isnt a good idea and i believe they would rather
get criticism rather than praises on resuming in the middle of crises which can risk out human lives.People can wait and theres a right time for that, we do all missed
NBA but we cant do anything and its just dumb if we do force up things which isnt right to be done.

What do you think of the whole NBA organization? Playing a kid's game? lol.

We don't know their whole plan. They are making millions, billions and do you think they will do a suicidal move for a comeback? Do you think they don't care for players and just for money? They have big names, big people and already know every problem they will face. They are 101% prepared before doing that.

Take a break guys and don't think too much. NBA is not that dumb. They have lots of stakeholders, more intelligent and knowledgeable compare to us here browsing in the forum. They know what to do compare to us.

I got the picture you are pointing out and it makes sense.

However, the plan will not be executed right away. It still depends on the situation that's why they take the plan to the month of July which is 3 months to go. In a span of 3 months, we can somehow expect that the USA or any country now finds a way now to minimize the infection and able to control it. And it's not as simple as "come on resume the game now" as surely every precaution, safety, and all important things will surely take place. They will not push for something that is unprepared and empty-handed.

The world will not allow the virus to halt everything in a span of several months. Every country is doing its job. I strongly believed that the situation today will now be different 2 to 3 months from now. Just "trust the process".

I do not really mind players getting all the clearence and playing in Vegas if they have to (a lot of penalty involved if they don't, these players are making 100+ million dollars in their contracts so maybe they "could" risk more than a regular guy who makes enough money to just survive. Think about it, are they doing a favor or not? Is there a risk of corona spreading around because of them? If they are not careful sure there is, but if they are super careful and all of them just close down a big hotel (all league players + personal + management etc) than they could basically just limit everything and what is better to keep people at home than actually having NBA games to watch.

Right now all sports are postponed, all tv shows are postponed because they can't shoot new ones. You can't go outside, you can't buy something from a shop, basically everything is limited. If NBA restarts with precautions, at least that might keep SOME people at home, that is quite important and should be reconsidered.

As of now, 4 of their players are confirmed negative: Davis, McGee, Dudley, and Cook leaving 13 remaining players who still not disclosing their status.

The LA Lakers players are all cleared and symptoms free by now including the two players who came out positive more than a week a go.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5098208002

I just dont get it, why the Lakers management hid the identity of those two players, when we essentially need transparency for the covid cases for our security.
Anyway, I guess most of the player has been recovered already except for Durant? I'm not sure, but he'll surely recover, these guys have a very strong immune system anyway, imagine contracting the virus without having any serious symptoms.

We will hear news from Durant soon, it's good to see that they are slowly recovering and while some players are even making live video to share their status, some athletes are hiding their status, like the Lakers players who were positive of covid.

I haven't heard of any update yet, maybe they stop hoping to continue the NBA season as the covid-19 cases are still rising in big figures.
I won't be surprise if tomorrow, the number of cases in US will rise to 200,000. #GOD HEAL THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE

From the replied above you, he mentioned that all the players of Lakers are being cleared including those two players that came out positive
meaning to say that they've got another test and luckily they've got negative results. Looking forward for the best and HOPE everything will be fine and things will be back to normal and we will be able to see the continuations of this season, we all miss the league..

ohh,,

- I don't know how I missed that.
Well, that's a good news, hopefully there will be no more players that will be infected so they can go on with their plans in case they would like to resume the season soon. Like I said in my post, it has happened, the total number of people infected with covid-19 in the US have now increased to 200,000.

If they really want to resume, they need to ensure there will be no more cases of infection going to happen.

Quarantine NBA playoffs in Las Vegas? That option is being floated amid coronavirus

“Quarantine the players in July in Las Vegas and to have some form of a tournament that eventually crowns a champion,” Mannix said on the Felger and Mazz podcast on Tuesday. “It’s workable. It’s doable.”

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/nation-world/national/article241676486.html

Not a bad idea though to keep the fans entertained while #stayingathome. But, I also think this isn't the time to stress themselves from overthinking how to resume their business, I mean the number of people who contracted the virus in america has grown every single day. Do they have any steps to help the government in containing the virus so they can resume without the fear for the players to contract the virus again?
But then again, I'm not against this idea, If this is the only step they can do to keep the people to stay at home, so be it.

The idea of trying to find ways to resume this business and entertaining the fans, maybe for now, the people and the government needs help to contained this virus people are busy and also afraid from what they are seeing right now, they need to survive as life needs to continue even this struggles really making things very difficult for many people around the world.

They are with money for this maybe they should postponed the entire season for now since there is a crisis happening and they cannot assure if their players will became healthy since it was proven already that some of the players got positive with the virus. So its best to secure the health of the asset and resume the game when the pandemic ends.

Adjustment is a must here.

Business has to go on, whether we like it or not. World can't just stop because of this, or victims of this virus will be nothing compared to financial crisis that will come soon, if everything stops. Like in that meme; Improvise. Adapt.Overcome. Cheesy

Playing without fans is far from ideal, but it is still better than nothing. Some may say owners will loose a lot of money if they play without fans, but think how much they will loose if there are no games at all? Like in trading, you have to cut your losses, and adapt to the situation. It would be good to hear what's players opinion about this, are they willing to continue? And if not, are they ready for salary cut in that case?

Right, not just because some corona shit happens, the world will simply stop. Everyone should learn how to adapt in this kind of situation. Business owners are losing big chunk of money everyday, but it is better to move forward and think of ways to get around with what is going on currently. We can't just sit here and wait till a vaccine discovered, it might take some time. So it is better that NBA games continue without the fans.

That could work.
I have tried to think about that before as I have seen some of my colleagues living in hotels to do their job.
The company paid for it just so the work will keep on moving.

This could also be applied to NBA players.
Give each of them a hotel room and then check every player in each game.
As long as they will behave then they might really make it happen.
There should be strict rules when doing this. They could not just talk to anyone out there and everything must be cleaned well. It might really work but for a larger expense.
