2025 NBA Season

[matchi2011]

That's correct but the risk is more on the audience as not all of them are healthy and not all of them have the capacity to spend money when hospitalized, when the crowd is in big risk, the NBA can't sell their game to the crowd.

We really need a vaccine where people will not be affected by the virus and that they will be cure right away once infected.

Right, that's the sad reality.

As for the vaccine, I'm not expecting it will be made right away but I hope for a good. Once it made, except that only a limited production will be made and the cost of it is also a concern. We are still dealing with the previous viruses without a vaccine.

That's why as part of precaution just in case, let's say the world now finally controls the situation 3-4 months later, the NBA can use another couple or more months for extra works to make sure everything is ok for the current NBA season to resume. Not rushing for the return. It means the game will continue but the plan for no audience will still push. The season will continue even it will take place next year. No need to reset. They will just sacrifice the 2021 NBA season or whenever they will return but damn, thinking it will happen means we still need to deal with the current situation for a long period.

I like the idea of extending the limitations of the audience presence, if they can proceed with that plan after this virus find the vaccine, it's much better to think of safer resumes both for the health of the players and those people behind this league. Though there's also considerations regarding to profits and the management needs that to continue this business. It's a balance that's needed to take place.

They are already calling those who already recovered from the virus to donate some blood to examine it.
That means they have the antibodies by now and they could find a cure right away.
But for me, this just tells that we still lack the best doctors in the world if it is going really slow.

I don't mind if they will shorten the 2020-2021 season and I guess the fans won't mind that too.
With all that had happened after this virus effect, I bet getting some good entertainment will be a key for us to forget it somehow.
To make everything back to normal again.

I'm not sure that's how antibodies are created, from the movie I saw, they got the blood from a person that wasn't infected with the virus even if people surrounding him got infected.. if you saw the movie entitled "The FLU", it's korean movie actually, you'll know what I'm talking.

I don't mind if they will shorten the 2020-2021 season and I guess the fans won't mind that too.

I don't mind it too, but we are talking of a possible return but we don't have an idea when this virus will be contain.

That's really the big problem, we can't estimate when the NBA will resume when there is no cure for this pandemic yet.
I mean when people are worried about the situation, they don't think of something that will entertain them, they pay more attention on the news.

It's a war between this two country..unfortunately, other countries are affected, and thus far, China won the war.

That's the problem.
Instead of uniting to find the cure it is still about who is the strongest of them.
Even China want the NBA players on their side offering so much money right?
Gilbert Arenas, Lance and a lot more. Even European and other countries players.
They are making their own NBA just to prove they are one of the strongest even in the market of entertainment.

Well, as of the virus there is still no proof if it is really a biochemical weapon or just a sickness from animals.
Even the media could tell lies just to provide a scoop.

They are getting an NBA players as an import maybe because they know American players are great players with good skills, especially the Black.
Well, I guess if China would compete, they will not beat the NBA, not in this business as the best players of basketball are in the USA.

In part of social medias, they can ruined everything if they wanted to, since they are always aimed for more viewers even they are not telling the truth the can spread things and make it looks real.
Whatever causes this virus, leaders should look for the solution and set aside this blaming /pointing fingers, they can discuss things after.

Yeah its not time for blaming and pointing fingers since this time cooperation is needed to conquer this virus but we cannot really control on what's running in the minds of opposition since they used the current situation to create anger and to distablise the administration and thus is happening in Philippines.


Hopefully this virus will end up soon so that we can see our favorite players running at banging on the hardcourt.

I think they are still looking for an option for faster recovery.
As of the Korean Movie, sorry I haven't watched that yet. But I will sure do. I already put it in my movie list to be watched.

I don't mind if they will shorten the 2020-2021 season and I guess the fans won't mind that too.

Yeah, but if they want a champion for this year then they might still continue into where they had left it.
Although they will have a large problem with the next season schedules.

Next season schedule in just one thing but since the current outbreak of the Covid-19 is happening way too fast I believe the current season is the mean issue also according to the espn sports new today many NBA teams are united in hopes of encouraging the league office to push the date of the June 25 draft until no sooner than August

There are lots of conspiracies that floats around and even 5G was involved into this situation thats why we cant be sure if its a biological weapon or truly a virus that came from animals.
It doesnt matter on whats the origin yet the most important thing now is to create the vaccine to solve this global problem.Almost all things in the globe had been affected.
In between or talks about Nation ranking in terms of power then i dont really care much.

But one thing is sure in near future these all conpirancies are going to be solved because time will come when this all will appear as fact I am feeling its biological weapon and created by some country for destroying this all its nothing new because trade war happen many times and these things changed the all world very badly still hungerness is biggest issue in this world but no one interested so its not solving its going on.

If CBA wants to get NBA players they totally can, they can definitely build an amazing league there but they are not really going for it that much. Think about it, there is a salary cap rule in NBA and CBA could just remove that from their lives and offer them unlimited amount of money. We are talking about a nation that manufactures basically everything in the world or their knock off at least and they have trillions of dollars of american bonds so they are quite rich as well.

So, what stops them from offering Lebron James one billion dollars a year? Not saying they should because they can't make that money back, however they can afford it, even if you can't get players like Lebron or Durant or Kawhi, you can definitely convince lesser players with a lot more money, give the 10-20 million dollar dude 100 million dollars a year and a 5 year contract worth 500 and you can bet your ass he will go to china to play. None of this really means anything about pandemic and biochemical war at all, just wanted to say economically it is possible.

Conspiracies make a certain page, news, articles, websites popular by gathering views. More viewers, more traffic, more money.

That kind of conspiracies is not worth reading as it will just lead us into fake thoughts. Until the US government itself or any top countries stated this officially on the live television together with proofs, that's just the time I will believe in it.

I just want to add that if ever NBA will come back, as in the environment is now healthy, they can skip homecourts at those heavily affected like New York. It was done before when New Orleans temporarily used Oklahoma as their home court due to Hurricane Katrina.

[Captain Corporate]

 Why not look at what we already have and not how it originated? There has been a lot of talks about how "china made this virus to kill 'muricans" or whatever but even if that was true, how the hell does it change the recovery? I mean we are talking about thousands of people die every single day, how it originated could maybe help us figure out who the enemy is after this is over but it does literally nothing for today.

 You know what the real paradise would have been? The most optimum and ideal situation? Governments of the world do not overcharge the public for stuff and pocket the change, they do not make buys or offerings that are widely different that costs the public tax money and makes some business people rich that bribes the politicians, everything goes perfectly and these governments thankfully save some money because of this. What do they use that money on? Well obviously they are buying stuff from the companies who are having trouble keeping the lights on, and they are giving it to public, and paying everyones money like nothing happened at a level where it is not too much but it helps them stay alive.

 I know I wrote not NBA related stuff for a long so Imma stop there and not make this a wall of text but none of that happened and USA continues to get worse, everyone eyes May as the time we are gonna get better but I still have my doubts. Hopefully we will get better but it really doesn't look like it and NBA may not really recover that quickly neither.

Mankind's history is riddled with conspiracy theories, heck even Jesus himself. Let that conspiracies float, hype it as much as they want but at the end of the day still boils down as who you are going to believed this crazy story.

Back on topic, NBA is doing their best and looking at all angles so see if there is a viable solution to somewhat get around with this pandemic and continue with the season or totally scrap it and wait till everything is safe.

I do not like conspiracies and for me it is just a waste of time because it is just speculation after all. When it comes to NBA, there is conspiracy where they say that the season is cancelled where it will restart next year. I do not think that it will be announce by the commissioner because it is really unfair to those top 8 in both seed. As long as this crisis will not become worse, the NBA will comeback in this year.

Which also good for the sake of those players and fans that will watch the game, we can remove the fact that even there are still possible threat of this virus fans will always be fans, from the eyes of those people they will take the risk just to watch their favorite team/players.
Using other homecourt that is also near from the host teams can be done if there's a call to ensure the health of everyone.

Yes, but let us face it.
CBA is also getting a lot of attention because of the NBA players which they are pulling in their league.
I saw Arenas being interviewed by First Take or Fair Game. IIRC. (a show where a lady interview the players in a couch) 

Arenas admitted that he is making more money than he was at NBA.
He is kicked out because he brought a gun in the locker room and also pointing it with another player.

Yeah, they can offer large sum of money to this players but I think they will need popularity for the advertisements to also pay more.
Of course they will need profit or the very least, money back.
