With the NBA’s season starting to hit its stride and the March 25 trade deadline less than two months away, we’re bringing back our weekly live chats at Hoops Rumors.
Each Tuesday at 12:00 pm central time (1 pm ET), join me to talk potential trades, free agent signings, salary cap machinations, or whatever else you feel like discussing!
Today’s chat transcript can be found right here.
Do the players believe this corona virus is a real thing, and deadly killer? If so, why are they traveling all over the country playing basketball?
Isn’t that taking an unnecessary risk, for a few dollars?
Why are college football bands wearing masks with holes in them? That is idiocy on an even higher level than the sentiment above?
Why can players swap sweat, blood, and who knows what else out on the court, but need a piece of plastic to separate them on the team bus?
Lastly, who are these geniuses coming up with these ideas for mitigation? Basic germ theory contradicts all of these prognoses, and its a little perplexing why an expert would suggest everyone needs to go through all this if they are an expert???
Settle down, Donald.
Donald who? The president who went along with all this contradicting logic in the first place?
You are way off base! Stick to the beer cooler, & the lazy boy before you hurt yourself. SMH
I don’t think all the players think the exact same way man. They probably have different views on all sorts of things. But I imagine they are intelligent enough to know that in their age group it doesn’t constitute a threat.
Then yes, false positives, & false negative results contradict ever really knowing if a player has the corona.
And since the players are not at high risk, this is all deemed safe because they are being tested, watched, traced?
Seriously? When does Bull$hit come to mind??
I am already tired of it interfering with my life exponentially, when will the players speak about their unique experience, and these same nuances? I’d have chosen not to play after one month of this hysteria.
False positive, false negative? Who actually has it, and how would you know??
Lmao I can’t believe you’re trying to ask these questions in Feb 2021.
Go back and see what George Hill and Cryree said about all of it over the summer and since.
All your “questions” have already been answered by the players, the league, and a range of scientific institutions since the NBA went to the bubble, and decided against going back to a bubble for the new season.
No they haven’t or I wouldn’t have put it in my comment. I’ve heard your lacking of detail tag line many times. Sort of the problem. I don’t know, or care about NBA players personal lives, and last summer was last summer.
Who cares about questions anyway? Why do I have to have confidence in the B.S. you believe, that is not adding up to me?
How is your cognitive dissonance my problem?
Dude
First of all teams are flying on chartered flight where everyone has bees tested almost daily – it’s actually safer than being at home right now!
With test results providing false negatives & false positives?? How would you know its safer?
Enclosed in the fusilage of a jetplane with 30+ other people is safer than my home?
Because they took tests that produce false positives, and false negstives?
If I sold bridges, you would get a call from me every year.
Stay away from the the Capitol ….
What are the odds of getting a formalized ranking system in place for commenters on the site?
You wouldnt be ranked as high as you think lol
I absolutely would brah
If we all just listed our top 5 or 10 commenters like we do with NBA players, we’d have a pretty good idea.
Makes me wonder if they keep track of replies received, or upvotes; but then some folks change screennames pretty often so…
Good idea, save your thoughts for when we do the all star commenter selections
If we have a top three, we also need a bottom three.
im already bottom 3, only need 2 more. maybe not like your own comments too, i mean really, sad.
Apologies to those expecting this to start at 11 am CT — I messed up the timing we’d planned and will be getting underway at noon CT instead.
Hi
What is your best trade proposals for Lonzo and Redick?
great idea!
14th seed Pelicans
Team salary $130 million
15th seed Wolves
Team salary $132 million
It makes no sense for them to take more salary and pay luxury tax
Any trade idea should not add salary to their teams
