PJ Tucker has looked mad all season.

What does he expect? He’s already 35.

Rox looked good, as of now.

How is covid transmission is controlled in this environment?

Players can get covid after the game.

This is totally out of the blue but Kyle Lowry’s performance in the 7 game series flopping like a fish never trying to make an actual basketball play until games 6 and 7 when he started to finally hit some 3s was one of the most maddening things of all time. What a loser that guy is. Never lost respect for a player so fast. Wish he wasn’t a Philly guy.

Listening from Windhorst podcast, It doesnt sound like Giannis will re-sign with the Bucks.

I don't care. Lowry should be on our radar. Morey loves him and he could come relatively cheap since he's old and about to become a UFA. He could be the piece that puts us over the top, ala Marc Gasol to Raptors in 2019.

I don't think it will be controlled. Presence is everywhere in society and it will take extreme discipline/isolation to not have a pause in the next few months. It wont happen, but the bubble was a perfect approach. NFL, college football teams are struggling so I'd expect the same for NBA/NCAA basketball.

Didn't Hield look like the Kings best player last night? I cant see them trading him, although it is the kings.

He's signing with the Raptors if they show something this year. If not them, then Dallas. If Miami is smart, They trade Bam for him at the deadline, while everyone still thinks Adebayo is a superstar.

Hmm..

What you say makes a lot of sense

Ahh.. that would suck.

I also dont think it will be controlled. I was just wondering if the league has any special measures to stop the transmission.

So we’re looking at a season with really chaotic rotations. There maybe some games cancelled with teams not enough roster that are negative to covid?

Hmm..

I think that can work.

Just make sure everyone you’re living in just be careful.

Most of these players live on mansions so if one of their household members got positive, just quarantine them in some guestroom. Hahaha

Basically you can create an “artificial” bubble.

These guys are rich and the teams can also help.

I’m sure there will be rounds of people getting it but it seems like the best they can do. The league has every incentive to limit cases as much as possible.

I also assume the league has or will enter into an agreement with one of these companies to get players, coaches and so on vaccinated quicker than they otherwise would. It got reported that the NHL is doing that.

He looked like the hottest shooter with the greenest light, I don't know about best player. His statsheet is a barren wasteland (0 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks).

That would absolutely screw Milwaukee, given what they just paid to acquire Holiday.

I honestly think he should stay. He has an elite coach with an elite system. He'd be a hero and symbol of loyalty in a dire player unhappiness era.. And he has Holiday/Middleton as running mates. He's got more than enough support in place to win a championship and compete for multiple, perennially.

I honestly think he should not.

Winning with the Bucks is not the same with winning with the Lakers. Playing for a large or global fanbase helps your legacy.

Spending your $50M per year in Milwaukee is not the same with spending it in California. Theres a lot of nicer things to spend in California.

That’s why for me LeBron was the smartest player to have ever played.

When he retires, he has 3 fanbases that will back him up.
And at the same time he would not look like not a hero since he won a championship with the city where he grew up.

He experienced what it likes to be a king of his hometown, king of Mia and king of LA. That’s 3 lifetimes for most players.

If Im Giannis, I’ll play for other contenders. Tell Horst to tank multiple seasons and if he do it right, i’ll return.

That will be a win-win for everyone.

But Giannis seems to be a nice kid and is quite idealistic. So he seems to be destined for that Tim Duncan career route of just sticking with the team that drafted him.

*PS. Tim Duncan was very close to signing with the Orlando Magic at one point
