And you could theoretically still do that if you went to an overseas site, but I'm guessing the NBPA would have a problem with doing games in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

I doubt the players care a lick about the American audience and when they're able to see it. They've got bigger things to care about. Health, salary, personal comforts during all this, etc.

The league wouldn't agree to doing it during the typical local time slots where they'd be located because they'll be very early in the morning or in the middle of the night in America and the NBPA wouldn't agree to do it during the American time slots because they'll be very early in the morning or in the middle of the night where they're located.

You're close. The NBA wouldn't agree. The NBAPA couldn't care less. They just have to show up, play, and collect the checks.

I'm sure the network partners would not accept airing these games in the middle of the night where they can't sell advertising. If the bubble was overseas, the players would need to play the games during times when the American audience is at its highest. Take the UFC for example. ESPN is broadcasting shows from Abu Dhabi which begin at 2am local time and end in the early hours of the morning.

If they did this in, for example, Tokyo and they wanted to maintain the same air times they are currently that would mean games would begin in Tokyo between 1:30AM-10AM.

I don't think the NBPA agrees to that

Are there age questions concerning Makur Maker? How old is he?

He HAS to be a Buck.

Age doesn’t matter to the NCAA I think I might even have eligibility left

Hope he actually goes to school. It’s always been assumed he’ll skip college.

If he does go though, I literally live across the street from Howard so I might have reason to actually check them out.

Gordon Hayward will enter the bubble but has said he will leave for the birth of his child, which is due in September, if the Celtics are still playing. But also said that he would hope to re-enter after quarantining afterwards

Understood. Just wondering if he's 18, 19, 21, 23, 28.

I definitely don't begrudge the young man of getting his money eventually. As long as it's not from the Milwaukee Bucks organization (if he's older than advertised).

I'm too lazy to look up the yearbook data, but I think it was determined that all of them were 1-4 years older than advertised.

They had an extended conversation about Oladipo on Windhorst's podcast yesterday. In light of that conversation, let's just say this information is interesting to say the least

Can I ask you a question?

When the season resumes, are you going to be cheering for the Bucks to win a championship? Or are you going to be cheering for the virus to shut down the league?

If the Bucks won the title, would you be bitter about it?

Honest questions

Possible changes in seeding and draft position. Thought it was obvious.
