So uhhhhh it’s Mother’s Day, and the wine has been flowing. Unfortunately... or fortunately this has led to me stewing on our current predicament. LBJ says play. Shaq says pack it up...

If a vaccine won’t be readily available for 12-18months (could be wrong), why wouldn’t we cancel the season? Especially since any championship won this year will have a major asterisk and we don’t play for JUST the regular season. But Maybe that’s the #LastDance talking.

Regardless, it also seems like a return to play results in a quarantine bubble scenario. If that’s the case you’re asking guys to leave their families for several months and remain in an enclosed area which seems difficult at best.

Assuming you do go down this route and our desire not to conflict with football you could get the Christmas start date that executives have wanted for a minute and avoid the moral hazard of forcing play during peak contagion.

Would probably look like renting out a section of Disney world and allowing 5-10 or so family slots per player to make it desirable. Test to get in. Organized entry dates if there are people that exit. And do a complete season.

Almost aau/summer league style. Play games from 10am-10pm. Would dominate tv considering the lack of live sports and assuming it would be difficult to continue reality tv shows as well people at home wouldn’t have many alternatives.

Can also make games more interactive, trivia, QR code’s etc that present rewards to encourage active viewership and participation which I would guess would actually boost revenue. (Call me @NBA y’all know I got ideas )

P.s. let’s also not piss off large sections of the fan base to start as well. That’d probably help.
