Disgruntled players have contracts. When you don't do a job, you get fired and don't get paid.

I believe that with the help of anthony davis,with the incredible bench like danny green and waiters and mcgee and with the best player of our generation,lebron james,i think that the lakers will win it all but i can also see the clippers win it all

So what do you think about the NBA reopening in the so called "bubble" in Florida?
They did a good job really, they testing, testing and testing and more testing and more testing...
Let me give you an example.
If a team sign a player who wasn't tested at all, in order to join them in Orlando the player needs to be tested negatively 6 times in the row before he can even fly to the Orlando and then he enters 48 hours quarantine and few testing in between and then 7 days must pass before he can have contact with another team.
This is for new signings.
The players who are already there they have been tested for last two weeks regularly, every day or two days...
What do you think? I think that's the first good step to having games.
Then there's a problem with the form of the players, they didn't play and they have to jump in to play competitive basketball. The teams who are already in the playoffs are in the advantage, big one because seeding doesn't have any sense because there's no home court advantage and especially in the west all teams are more less very strong.
Your opinion?

The idea is good. But in my opinion there will be many injuries. Rondo broke a finger on his hand. And this is just the beginning.

Well Finger can be broken during the normal season but you're possibly right and possibly wrong. Why?
Firstly all players didn't stop working out but the game form and physical form are two different things.
My opinion is that the teams who are already in the playoffs have that advantage to go slowly and introduce players and not pushing up their minutes but the teams who fights for the playoffs must go hard from the first second, there I can see possible injuries. But injury is a part of the sport the same as running up and down, every single player was injured at some point.
I think it's going to be from case to case depending on the dedication of the players and how they worked out.
I still have concerns if the bubble is going to work, especially because Florida is a Hotspot for the pandemic right now

It also seems to me that the bubble will not work. Someone will get the virus and the season will be closed forever. What I definitely didn’t want to see. But we believe that everything will go fine. And what about injuries. For any athlete, restarting is stressful. Therefore, this increases the likelihood of injury several times. And training at home is not the same as training at the base with trainers.

Everything is correct. But I missed basketball so much that for me these matches are like playoffs)))
