Wow!, talk about topsy- turvy. Funny that some players want looser restrictions as far as movement through Disney World. Again, then what's the point of a Bubble? Workers will be free to come and go from the so-called bubble. I would have figured they would have tried to give incentives($$) for workers to quarantine as well. Playing out the regular season in each team's(all 30) arena, then going to the playoffs regular style, makes as much sense now since the "BUBBLE" really won't be a bubble at all.
Just move on to the conference finals we all pretty much know how this will go... https://bleacherreport.com/articles...-final-seeding-and-round-by-round-predictions 2020 NBA Playoffs: Final Seeding and Round-by-Round Predictions
Actually, given the crazy conditions, the 4 months off, and no HCA, I bet there will be a lot of upsets.
No fans NEXT season too? https://basketball.realgm.com/wiret...mitted-To-Attend-Games-Through-2020-21-Season
What happens if NBA players back out of restart in Orlando? The owners would use the force majeure clause to tear up the CBA and force a total renegotiation, doing so in the middle of a pandemic (the owners have until September to do that. The league will have lost billions in revenue, would be looking at losing more next season, and the owners would target a larger slice of the BRI pie. The players would have little leverage, and they could lose some of their guaranteed contract money for next season. There almost certainly would be a lockout, with the billionaire owners able to wait out the millionaire players to get what they want (there are far more minimum-salary players in the NBA than there are guys making eight figures who can chill during a lockout). This would look a lot more like the 2011 NBA lockout, a situation where the players went into it getting 57% of the BRI and came out of it with a 50/50 split with owners. The players got crushed in that negotiation. It would happen again.
