I got that impression, too, when he was an assistant coach here in Portland.

ESPN story on growing uncertainty among NBA players about entering Orlando bubble and allowances league plans to make for those deciding to stay home. https://t.co/tW7p8sKloH

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 10, 2020

I think I’d put money on this season not happening

i understand some of the trepidation but the time to raise these concerns would have been before the nbapa agreed to the league's restart plan.

Sources: Players deciding against participating in Orlando could be replaced by a substitution player. NBA plans to allow replacements for players who test positive for COVID-19 or suffer injuries. Replaced players become ineligible for the rest of 2019-2020 season. https://t.co/6J62J0k8Nv

whoa!

Insane

lil honey

he went out an bought some skinny pants, too!

i understand why the players don't really want to be sequestered for 3 months but the other option is no season?

yes

again i don't get the point of posturing about it now that everything has been voted on, but i'd be surprised if more than a handful of players elect to not come back.

to generalize broadly, for the role players and bench players it will be about their paychecks. for the max players and all-stars it will be about how playing or not will meet their personal goals. I think they'll play and it will feel extremely strange at first, then we'll all get used to it.
