This league will be basically 8 games and also playoffs, which means if the players can return somehow they could still quarantine for a 10 day period if they need to and they would basically still be in the playoff games. Specially Montrezl Harrell because he is at Clippers and we all know Clippers is going to playoffs plus they will be going further as well which means they will be playing for a long time, at least 3-4 weeks and that is why Montrezl could still return in time to reach the team on a good period.
However, it would be hard to get into match shape when everyone already played 10 games and you are just coming in. More importantly of course is that I hope both Zion and Montrezl wouldn't have death and I hope everything goes back to normal for whoever has illness in the family and gets back up in their feet without issue hopefully.

Correct, it's hard for someone who just came in to condition well, while others are already playing and already catching the rhythm. More importantly of course is that I hope both Zion and Montrezl wouldn't have death and I hope everything goes back to normal for whoever has illness in the family and gets back up in their feet without issue hopefully.
This is very important, mental condition is far diffectn from your physical health, you can go right away and play as the body that being built to this sports is there, but once your mental condition is unprepared it will be tough for you to play the same types of game that you usually have, hopefully no more deaths that will take place for both players relatives.

Correct, it's hard for someone who just came in to condition well, while others are already playing and already catching the rhythm. Harrell might lose a lot of minutes. Either way, he can still gear up himself for a while as their games isn't in a daily basis, am I right? Well I just hope he would still be able to play as tough as he did previously, 'cause he is a significant player for his team to win though. Not to mention that playoffs is a pretty solid game, that's why he is really need to be on the floor. Dunno 'bout Zion but he needs to get back as quickly as possible. Now that, Pelicans have to put a real battle for similar teams vying for the 8th spot .

When its a family matter of medical issues and maybe even death, all other things can take a back seat, no championship, no rings, no games would ever get you the minutes back with the family member that has any illness, there is a chance you may never see them again. You can lose tens of millions of dollars and if you invest wisely and promote it yourself and basically all around work for it, you can make that money back eventually but you will never get the chance to be with that family member if anything happens to them.
Plus I feel like if any player just straight up doesn't want to be there, should have the chance to reject it and they do, nobody should say anything to players who decline to be with the team, its a scary issue to be in a bubble far away from everyone, even if you do not think that you would get covid, its still scary just because it might feel like jail to people, I personally couldn't handle being in a hotel room for that long and just go watch games let alone play them, I would want to get out and thats why I wouldn't get in to begin with.

Dunno 'bout Zion but he needs to get back as quickly as possible. Now that, Pelicans have to put a real battle for similar teams vying for the 8th spot . There's no statement yet on when he will come back and on what is the specific reason of that urgent family matters. But here's the statement from the NBA. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29474441/zion-williamson-leaves-nba-bubble-due-family-matterIf his absence lasts seven days or fewer, Williamson will quarantine for four days upon his return to the NBA bubble if he has a negative test each day he's outside the bubble.
If he is gone longer than a week, he will still quarantine for four days if he has a negative test for the final seven days he is gone. If he doesn't have the required testing, he will quarantine for 10 days. So you are right, he needs to come back as soon as possible so he won't miss the first game which they will play the Jazz this July 30, 2020.

No one is rushing him since this is a medical family matter. But, he also know that if he consumes over 7 days outside then he will be quarantined for 10 days. Which could also mean he may not play for the 1st and 2nd game out of 8. If I am in the position of Zioon and I still have the goal of making the playoffs, I won't waste that. So, expect he will be back soon just like the other players. How about Melo losing some fats too. Carmelo Anthony talks about how he became ‘Skinny Melo’ | NBA on ESPN

Yeah, I'm expecting that he will be back soon as their playoff life is at stake here, he knows that Pelicans without him will struggle, so let's hope to seem him soon and he will be able to play all the important games when the season resumes. I am surprised with Melo here, he looks young and I'm hoping he will be faster with this kind of look, he needed that as Blazers are always playing a fast pace game and he is a starter now with this team and this team is his shot for further good contract if the team succeed. 2 teams vying for one spot, but only one of them will succeed, what team would it be?

Yes, it is about to start. But, I say that don't treat any team as a 'small team'. Each of them have greatness although some may be treated as underdogs. I treat all of them to be big teams despite the roster, with or without superstars and young talents.

I was also surprised to see Melo so slim, we haven't seen him for years with body like this. As compare to Lebron who really takes care of his body, and its good that this pandemic has change his physically and I agree that this is going to be a plus for him in Blazers so that he can go and run with the team so that he can contribute more.

It's labeled as skinny, just like what we previously saw with Jokic, looks like it's the current trend now. His body look like Durant's body.. who will agree with me? lol... Anyway, that's not important, what's important if we are going to see them play soon and we will see if that diet they made which resulted to their look is effective. Meanwhile here's the 10 Bold Predictions for NBA's Regular-Season Conclusion, ( https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2900353-10-bold-predictions-for-nbas-regular-season-conclusion) Which one would likely happen based on your prediction? 1-The Raptors Will Emerge as Title Favorites 2-Boston's Other Star Wing Shines Brightest 3-Zion Powers the Pelicans to the Playoffs 4-Somebody Goes 0-8 5-Russell Westbrook Will Outperform James Harden 6-The Mavericks Will Finish with a Higher Playoff Seed Than the Nuggets 7-Giannis and LeBron Combine to Play Fewer Than 8 Games 8-The Anonymous Hotline Will Have a Major Impact 9-Damian Lillard Will Average 40 Points Per Game 10-The Sixers Don't Improve Their Playoff Seed

Just a wild prediction but I am a bit sure on number 9. To number I'm still doubtful on it since it's isn't yet clear if Zion will play on the remaining games or not.

I'll make one prediction only, I think the number 5 "Russell Westbrook Will Outperform James Harden". lol. They will be in the playoffs and they need to win so I think it's time for Russell Westbrook to take over the team and I think Harden are aware of that already since during the regular season, I have seen games here Russell Westbrook lead the team and Harden's production gone down.

2 teams vying for one spot, but only one of them will succeed, what team would it be?
Yeah, it's the new trend. Jokic and Melo. I once bumped into one news that Harden is also losing some weight. We may see a fast paced NBA when it starts again.

Some team will try to win even if it's not needed. My pick 7 (Giannis and LeBron Combine to Play Fewer Than 8 Games) is not exactly what I think. Instead of fewer games, it will be fewer minutes.

I treat all of them to be big teams despite the roster, with or without superstars and young talents. True,. though we can always say that there's underdog and their are favorites that each fans wanted to support super teams that have more than 2 superstars who dedicating the league. But always never forget that dedications and good team chemistry makes that underdog to win against the heavy favorite.

https://www.foxsports.com/watch/undisputed/video/1743420995913That was May 28 2020 news. I don't know if he gained some weight again. Yeah! That is also a good addition. If they have a healthier body then corona won't eat anything from it. They can prevent to be infected in a longer period. No one predicted the number 4, I think this could be possible as they are just playing in the same court, there's no home court anymore so the weakest team might not win a single game, so 0-8 for somebody.
That is all the more reason into why it is not possible. The weaker teams or we call it at the lower seeds needs all the win they could get. It is because they will have a chance to battle for the 8th spot.

9-Damian Lillard Will Average 40 Points Per Game 10-The Sixers Don't Improve Their Playoff Seed Crossed out what I think will not happen instead - Zion won't be back in good shape if he ever decides to play the remainder of the season. If ever Pelicans make it, it's not going to be because of him.
- Westbrook thrives when he's the one holding the ball. He won't have it with Harden being the preferred focal point of offense.
- I don't think Lillard is mentally prepared for the NBA's restart.
I've seen a video of Booker recently and he looks good. It's going to be tough for him to carry Suns to the playoffs but it'd be fun to watch him go all out.

Interestingly, I think none of that would happen. Raptors are decent already, they will be decent and they will get eliminated as decents, boston already has star wing player, I don't know which one you talking about but both of them are pretty well, Zion can't do that, he is not even a proper rookie, 0-8 is unlikely, could happen but unlikely, Westbrook would probably be the support cast to Hardens main hero, Nuggets are just too good for allowing that, combined 12 or less for sure but 8 is a bit stretch, maaaybe 8 might happen but it is still doubtful, Damian doesn't care enough to average 40 from here on out, he didn't even want to play for a while, and lastly Sixers who could improve a lot if they can set things aside but if not that could be the one that happens.

That was his previous statement but he is different when he is in the court, he can dropped as many points as he wants, and most especially now that they need to qualify in the playoffs. Anyway, if it would result to tighter defense, then I don't think he would make that average, but looking at the teams in the West who are aiming for the last spot, most of them are offensive teams, so it could possibly happen once we still see the same Lillard. and lastly Sixers who could improve a lot if they can set things aside but if not that could be the one that happens.
This is a test for them, hopefully with that long break they were able to sort everything out so they can have the necessary chemistry once the season resume.

Holy crap! https://www.nba.com/article/2020/07/19/lebron-james-rookie-card-sold-18m-auctionLeBron James set another record Saturday night when his 2003-04 Upper Deck rookie card sold for $1.845 million at Goldin Auctions. How about that?! We are in pandemic and he is still alive. Lebron's autographs price is going to be expensive in 20 more years. How about his rookie shoes? Where are they? Gotta find it! It's the most expensive basketball card ever purchased and the priciest trading card of any kind in the modern era (since 1980).
