Notice The Return of the NBA

DeSantis is a complete idiot.

Numbers are jumping quite a bit across the country. It's very disheartening.

 

I'll be surprised if Disney follows through with that. On the other hand, all they really care about is their bottom line, so I also won't be surprised if I'm wrong.

 

They probably don't even need to. I bet they already have enough fine print in the terms and conditions when you first buy your ticket.

Orlando airport executives clarified the numbers Wednesday, clarifying not all 260 people are workers nor were they part of the group of 500 workers tested as referenced by the governor.

 

I think it's a dumb move to put profit before public safety...especially for entertainment, non essential risk if you ask me...if I were a player I wouldn't play in Orlando period until they sort this pandemic out..people need to be smarter in this country if we're going to beat this thing

Inside the NBA's plan to use smart technology and big data to keep players safe from coronavirus

• The NBA is using wearables in an effort to keep players and staff safe from coronavirus when the season restarts in July at Disney World in Orlando.
• Players will have the option to use a wearable ring to provide them with a wellness assessment.
• A social distancing alarm will notify players when they are within six feet of others.

 

NBA players will be there July 7th.

 

It may be 2022 before the pandemic is sorted out though.

 

I think we'll have a vaccine next spring....I also think we should scrap this season and next season but it's not a popular view I know...

 

I'm sure they're going to play through this season the way it is....hope it doesn't hurt anybody going into next season just to make a quick buck

 

But people eat that bullshit up anyway. It's ridiculous.

 

I’m all for being cautious, but remember that the players are not in a high risk age group. The NBA has said that anyone with significant pre-existing health issues, including players, coaches or other staff can be excluded from participating. They’re in a tight bubble with regular testing. In sum, these guys are likely going to be at less risk than the people working at your local grocery store. It’s their choice whether to play or not. They’re well compensated, but for the average player careers are short.

 

i remember willie caillie-stien has the sickle cell anemia trait and that they are at much higher risk to develop severe conditions. sorry but am unsure if there are anyone with other risk factors out there.

 

Lamarcus Aldridge battled enlarged heart issues in Portland a bit...that's a high risk condition if he has arythmia..I think Channing Frye had a similar issue

 

How about the coaches? Their age group and demographics are likely to put some in higher risk groups. Pops is getting up there D’Antoni too.
Edit just looked their ages up and need to add the pelican’s Alvin gentry to the high risk group of coaches

 

Mike Fratello is as old as dirt too...good points
