It's hard to blame the NBA for trying to restart when states everywhere are reopening willy-nilly in spite of the obvious dangers to their populations, ensuring that hundreds of thousands more Americans will die. The public wants sports, there is money to be made, and they'll be damned if they are going to stand outside the zeitgeist.

I agree with matt. 325 players who have not tested positive is 325 players who are susceptible to infection in a situation that appears to only be getting worse. cancel the season
― k3vin k., Thursday, 2 July 2020 20:11 (three years ago) link
the inevitable outcome of trying to start the season is that players or close contacts will continue to test positive and the league will just end up with egg on its face and have to abort. just give up imo
― k3vin k., Thursday, 2 July 2020 20:15 (three years ago) link
yeah k3v otm stop pretending this doesn’t end up with half the players positive in like three weeks

I won't lie though, I'm excited to see sports. But I am totally fine with canceling the season; it's definitely the smart move.
It's likely though that next season is toast absent a miracle vaccine.
