    This is really fucked up. The pictures and videos of Dame's and the other player's kids playing on the sidelines is now a bit worrisome.

    They are saying officially he didn’t, he and now Beal are in “safety protocols” whatever that means nowadays.

    I think Shane Battier would be a great hire. He's been learning under Pat Riley as an assistant GM for the past 4 years but resigned his full time position with the Heat and took a consulting position with them last month. So I don't know if that means he was ready to be done with the Heat or he wants a break. If he needs a break then maybe he wouldn't take the position but a month before that Pat Riley made it clear in an interview that he has no plans of retiring soon so that may have been why Battier stepped away.

    And that’s what I’d think, but if so, shouldn’t EVERYBODY Grant and Beal have been around be locked down too? That would only make sense.

    It does explain why Team USA has been social distancing while playing defense.

    agreed. Dame having a completely unmasked party last night is worrisome

    Well, at least now we will have an excuse for sucking.

    Blame it on the co-co-co-co-co-covid!

    they should go with a big (like Randle or Wood), but i have a feeling they'll simply pick Garland.

    would be interesting if CJ gets a call.

    I Would love for CJ to get the call. I would not blame anybody though if they don’t want to go to Japan right now because it’s such a shit show with this virus.

    Our Olympic team is quickly turning into the Blazers.
