Looks like they mostly deployed Rodman as a Sixth Man in the playoffs, when they were pretty much all healthy, but I'm sure that's not how people remember it

Rodman is 100% a possibly best ever role player but he was third in minutes played for the regular season and playoffs.

They need to make the NBA more like baseball and allow teams to provide their own ball that somehow favors lefties over righties.

While this is all true a whole lot of more vulnerable people are taking worse risks for way less money and if Americas policy is "gently caress it" then we're getting some hoops too.

Advance immediately to playoffs seems like the best option if you plan on having any kind of season next year, and even then I'd assume you'd have to have a late start and a shortened season

At the very least it immediately cuts the number of players, staff, etc that need to be dealt with in half.

So if they start the season in July, and it wraps up later in the year does the NBA just become a spring-summer sport, because I’m extremely down for that

Does this mess up the WNBA season and would the NBA be okay with so much overlap?

I'm aware of that, but we should still be well past peak at that point. No one knows what the landscape will look like in two months, but if there's another major outbreak there's nothing stopping them from delaying or canceling.

Peak only exists because we decreased the R0 by greatly modifying our social behavior. If we revert to how we behaved in early march then the virus will exponentially increase just like it did then with the only difference being to effects from the seasonal weather.

It's not going to revert completely because we'll have better (but inadequate) contact tracing and testing and people's behaviors won't revert completely, but we'll see how far above R0 = 1 it goes.

All thirty teams being disqualified is an interesting idea.

I'm probably in favor of the pure laissez faire approach that you can use your roster as you wish for either short or long term strategy but if there are rules I like more explicitly written ones that treat all players on the roster equally then a general touchy feely play your stars or maybe we'll fine you.

So between that, and the fact the police there haven’t killed anyone unlike here, I don’t think players are about to lineup to attack China any time soon.

Lol the HK police have killed people both on the street and as "suicides" in custody.
