KING

 

Good guy Giannis. I hope the owner is already guaranteeing their paychecks ala the Cavs. Same with the rest of the owners. If Dan Gilbert is the good guy we're all fucked.

 

That’s my MVP

 

Every owner should do the Gilbert/Cuban thing, and every teams star should be able to do this to imo.

 

Rockets announced they are taking care of arena workers which is shocking for Tilman Fraudtita

 

Yea... I mean at least it's something, but just matching Giannis comes off as real cheap.

 

They posted that they'll be matching every donation made by a Bucks player

 

The players shouldn't be the ones having to do all this!!

I know Stan Kroenke isn't going to do a damn thing for any of the Pepsi Center workers considering he won't even let fans watch the games through Comcast or DirecTV

 

Can you imagine what will happen if not all the owners agree to pay the workers AND go after players contracts with that doomsday clause? phew

 

Interesting thought on the Michael Kay show: what if play resumes and the Nets have Durant back and maybe Kyrie too?

 

Psh picking Michael kay over evan & joe. For shame

 

My wife mentioned that thought too and how different it'd feel having the Nets in a low seed with a fully healthy roster

 

Zion is a rookie and paying an entire arenas staff. Absolutely incredible, and owners of teams and venues should be ashamed that he has to do it instead of them.

 

NBA probably should say something about this. Or clarify at least when it’s possible.
I would be pissed if I was Toronto or whoever gets them round one lol

 

It's such a hard thing to enforce though haha I can't imagine how they'd do that at all

 

Imagine thinking you have a relatively easy first round matchup when basketball finally resumes just to find out that KD is dressed to play

 

Yeah this is gonna cause so many situations nobody ever had to consider. Already has

 

Imagine telling a healthy player he's not allowed to play cuz he was hurt 2 months ago in a league that doesn't have very strict IR rules, and then having to enforce those same rules across any player injured including recent injuries

If KD just decided "hey I'm ready to play early" the NBA wouldn't be keeping him off the court

 

i don’t think they’ll run into the issue anyway because his timetable was like August or so. It is a weird thing to try to enforce or have a say in. Would be fun though to watch the Nets end up in like the ECF or some shit tho
