    Harry Giles will get some burn then...Melo's wife is an actress...could be someone she is working with tested positive so contract tracing would be protocol

    Are you sure?
    Stotts might try the janitor first.

    He was rarely within 6ft of any Rockets on defense.

    Perfect. CJ/Kanter/Melo for Harden. Since it works on the Trade Machine, (can't be traded till Feb 5) it must be true.

    Janitor does have seniority. That’s how it works isn’t it?

    Contact tracing? Wouldn't it just be easier to buy new contacts?

    These ones are very special. They blind him so he can't see open teammates. They're on the court somewhere or perhaps the lockeroom.

    I don’t get it. If Carmelo needs to go through contact tracing and he was with the entire team 24 hrs ago, wouldn’t the whole team be in the same boat?

    Maybe he was in contact with someone infected after the game when he was away from his teammates

    That would be a small window of opportunity but I guess possible. Someone didn’t go straight home last night......

    Maybe he went with Harden to the clubs. Introducing him to Portland.

    You’re talking real contact tracing like South Korea. This is USA style CYA contact tracing.

    Melo's wife is an actor....I"d guess that's ground zero in Melo's case..she could have had contact on set.

    Great, this is step 1.
    Step 2: Blazers lose both games in LA (because they have been playing like crap)
    Step 3: I have to deal with "see, Melo should be starting" b.s.

    Alternative reality:
    Step 1: Melo misses both games.
    Step 2: Blazers WIN both games in LA (because Melo has causing the bench to play like crap)
    Step 3: We start seeing support for "Melo should be cut".
