Thank God you have a logical Boss!! Whoa!!! Yeash. Gonna get cancelled because players are gonna refuse to participate.
Due to the "force majeure" clause in the CBA and negotiations with the NBPA the owners have until the end of September to terminate the current CBA and start renegotiation. Most people around the league think they will do so since the league's financial future is up in the air and that will give the owners an advantage in the negotiations.
https://www.si.com/nba/2020/05/11/nba-collective-bargaining-agreement-deadline-extended So they have already, because games have been missed and revenue has been lost due to an epidemic, deemed the pandemic a force majeure event which is why they are docking the pay of all but a few players whose contracts are guaranteed even in the case of force majeure. That being said they do have until the first day of October to decide if they want to cancel the current CBA. Many reporters and pundits (Woj and Paul Pierce are the first two that come to mind) think they will tear up the CBA regardless of the success of the restart because owners are in a unique position to have the upper hand in negotiations due to of the revenue uncertainty moving forward. So the narrative that the players are playing just so the owners can't back out of the remaining years of the CBA is a false one. The best reason for the players to play is to earn more money now and show good faith going into what will almost certainly be negotiations on a new CBA. This article, even though it's not from a major media outlet, has the best explanation of what I'm talking about and best quotes from the people saying this will happen. https://www.basketballnetwork.net/i...-paul-pierce-believes-we-will-have-a-lockout/

Looks like the Lakers might dodge a Bullet! https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nb...ix-season-again-silver/ar-BB16sloN?li=BBnb7Kz
I get what you're doing here but the Lakers are the team that wants this season to be played out the most. The Bucks have a great chance at the title and so do the Clips but the Lakers are most likely the favorites and as far as LeBron goes, lets just say he's not getting closer to his prime. Giannis isn't even close to his peak and both Leonard and George are five years behind LeBron. So if the bubble does pop... the Lakers and LeBron specifically will be the most angry and will likely feel the most like they have lost an opportunity that will be harder to get back. Oh and as far as dodging a "Bullet" goes, the Bullets haven't been in the league for decades and the Wizards are hardly the Lakers biggest threat.
