2025 NBA Season

[stadus]

Given the current situation, big people behind NBA starting from team owners to players surely will not have a problem with contract adjustments. Soon, they will rise up again once the situation got back to normal so a bit of sacrifice is necessary at these times.

They have to understand each other, team owners and the players both suffers on this pandemic, in short they both lose money.

For players, I thought they only lose the opportunity to earn when they got suspended, injured and after no one will pick them, and I'm sure this kind of situation is something new, they haven't experience it in their life so they are also facing some problem now, at least some of them.

We know that NBA players making big money, but if they don't know how to save on this kind of situation, then they are struggling and might be complaining now, but at the end of the day they'll realize it's a global pandemic that stop most of the sporting events.

After this virus Team owners will start their business back and players will regain the contract that being offered to them previously. They just needed to adjust from the current situations as no one really knows that this pandemic virus will hit hard the entire industry.

Keeping everything in good shape, both sides needs to agree and make a good deal to both survive this ongoing virus.

Let's go back to some good news and fun despite all the the problem against the virus and the finance of NBA.

As Curry narrated, he distributes the material once the teacher is done with their lecture. After that, Steph hilariously shared that Riley told her mom that dad is a three-star teacher. The three-time champion jokingly ranted about how his daughter treats him after investing a lot into her future.

The NBA and ESPN are working on televising a H-O-R-S-E competition involving several high-profile players, sources say. Players would shoot in isolation – presumably in home gyms – and match shots against competitors. Details are still being finalized.

They are still making ways to play some ball.
Yeah, it will be fun. As long as they are far away from each other.

I guess we have something to see soon, this would entertain the fun but not making money for them. So with this, since they are not thinking of the season anymore, I think we can assume that they are really stopping the season, waiting for the announcement now

[boyptc]

Woah, you really have said it just yesterday. That's very much the solution as they have been into expenses as well but without coming in for the cash flow. NBA players have made that much and it's ok for them because everyone is in bad situation.

What if someone didn't agree of what they are asking?

Well, that will be their problem since they are all in contract.
But here is the thing. They are all in NBA contract and if it is the management who will change something then it can happen.

I don't know about the law though. Perhaps they will also need the help of the players association so that players could sign an agreement.
A lot of money will be at stake here. They don't want their own employer which is NBA to go bankrupt or else they will lose their own jobs as a basketball player.

They can make certain changes to the contract if they want to or don't need any of it but only the approval of the players.

NBA Bylaws 6.23: If the season ends prior to April 1, the team with the best record in the year the NBA Finals will be held shall be crowned the undisputed champion.

https://clutchpoints.com/nba-bylaw-states-champion-will-be-crowned-via-best-record-if-season-is-cancelled/

I didn't even have the slightest thought that there is such a rule.
But the image looks wrong which is the Lakers holding the trophy.
It will be the Bucks.  

I have never heard of the rule before as well, that looks like a rule that might have never been used before, I don't know if in the history of NBA season has ever ended before 1st of April, even during wars and such they continued so I doubt it has ever happened. However considering this is decades old rule, they could simply change it whenever they want as well, just because there is a rule saying something like that doesn't mean they have to follow it.

Adam Silver could come out tomorrow and say that they no longer have a rule like that and league will be cancelled and no championship will be rewarded to anyone and everyone would be forced to accept honestly. Plus, I doubt any team would want to win a championship like that, it would be basically humiliating to have a ring this way.

Lol! They believe on fake news how could the lakers win for that situation? for sure the other team will file a protest since its unfair decision to be made if they implement it and good thing there is a clarification regarding to that post so that it couldn't mislead for those people who didn't know the situation these days.

That is not a fake news as the author of the article put a message in the end that it's april fools.
Well, for some who are not reading the whole information, they might come with the conclusion that Lakers did really win, but April fools is for everyone.

If this is not some fake news, why I didn't get any further news other than this, I mean too early to this kind theis strange rule to crowned who will become the Champion team this season. this is now how it should be, let's just wait for another months because we wouldn't know what would be the outcome of this pandemic after a month. let's just hope that'll disappear and we can continue watching the real game in the court.

That's why its fake because it's created intended for public annoyance, It scattered everywhere and many people actually believe that it was true since I saw in social media sites that there are people congratulating the lakers already  .

Anyways lets hope the whole season will not be cancelled and the virus will be controlled by the authority since its really exciting to see bucks and lakers will face in finals.

LOL! Should've clicked my link for the original post.
Someone quoted me and cut it.
Here. I put in bold. Look at the end. When did someone tell you Happy March or Happy May?

Holy crap!

It will be the Bucks.  

To be clear, the rule states that the team that will be crowned as champions will be the team with the best record for the current calendar year. The Milwaukee Bucks may lead the NBA with a 53-12 record on the season, but it is actually the Lakers who have the best record since January. Milwaukee currently holds a 24-7 record in 2020, while L.A. stands at 24-6. This would mean that the Lakers will be crowned as the 2019-20 champions, handing LeBron his fourth NBA title in his career.

Happy April!

Obviously it was an April Fools Joke since it was April 1.
Who would bump at that kind of date? It is already April 5 guys.
Then someone tries to be a hero.
Oh and then someone merited the hero.

Haha, I guess it is a success of fooling you guys.
But c'mon its way too far to be fooled now.  
You made me laugh, but I hope next time do it on April 1.

It is actually the problem. The approval.
All of us want to save ourselves from getting bankrupt specially at this kind of time.
We are spending more without any money getting in.
Some NBA players might feel that kind of emotion now. Those who aren't even in millions per contract, they will need the money too.
This is not something that will cut salaries for not just millions of dollars contracts like Curry and Lebron.
Everyone will be affected by it. They will need to consider that.

NBA season being cancelled and no champion being crowned looks to be an increasing possibility. I mean USA is getting worse and worse everyday for now, they are nowhere near the peak, even Italy is barely at the peak right now, they are very close or maybe already there but it will probably take another week of being like this for Italy at least to eventually start seeing a drop.

Moreover that is Italy, the nation with the worst situation, USA is still just at the start and even though there are medicines that are more helpful discovered, we are still going to see USA go worse and worse before we start to see it improve. It means at least May will be the "getting better" part and probably July or so will be when this is all over, I doubt NBA can come back that late.

Let's get into the latest rumors in the NBA today.

How about this one?

Dwyane Wade Tweets 'I Know Someone' in Regards to Bulls' Rumored Exec. Search

The Chicago Bulls are searching for a front-office executive to hold total authority on basketball decisions, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Woj reported that two general managers (the Denver Nuggets' Arturas Karnisovas and the Toronto Raptors' Bobby Webster) are two candidates, but a certain NBA legend and Chicago native might be throwing his hat in the ring:

Wade throwing himself to this position, interesting. 

What do you think Wade can do to improve the Bulls with him? can he at least put the bulls back to the playoff picture again?

[goinmerry]

The position is critical. Total authority on the Bulls basketball activity.

Dwayne Wade is former Bull so somehow he knows the environment there. However, even putting lots of big names on the coaching staff or in the organization, without them pursuing a good role player, there will be no changes at the Bulls. Even a prime of Phil Jackson holding the current lineup of the Chicago Bulls today, they have no chance at playoffs.

A good coach is nothing without good role players executing the plays.

But he did clarify it was not him.

Wade late clarified that he wasn't referring to himself:

DWade
@DwyaneWade
No No Not Me. I really know someone haha https://t.co/BTJnoaeOuG

So who the hell is he trying to suggest for the Bulls executive position.
I have no names ringing a bell.
It can't be Jordan of course and so does Pippen.

Wade also have a job already for TNT. So he must be messing around or he is really thinking of someone else to fill the exec spot.
Didn't even give any clue.

I have convinced myself that the NBA regular season and post season are CANCELLED. due to the rising number of infected people in the USA.

https://google.com/covid19-map/?hl=en

This will take several months to clear everything and I believe they won't resume until the government declare that the USA is covid free. This might slow down a bit this month, but it would really take at least 2 months to clear everything.

Thanks for the update.
Yesterday me and my friends in the neighborhood are talking about this and we only know 100k was confirmed.
I didn't thought it was that high.
337,278 confirmed. If this goes up in the next month then it will really be a big lockdown for this country.

Yeah, we might not see a champion this year. I don't know how they are going to deal with this since Adam Silver really want to announce a champion. He cannot force it anymore.
