I wonder how many players on teams that probably won't make the playoffs or even 7/8 seeds are going to opt out. If i'm a pending free agent on one of those teams i'd think long and hard about it.

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 12, 2020 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I don't get the logic behind this. Only Players on lock down. This is no bubble. Things are getting even more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the key on this one: per a Disney union official Disney needs to negotiate with their union to work out some kind of bonus, pay premium, etc. to get a staff that are in bubble. Perhaps Disney is asking the NBA to pick that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, no play, no pay. You'd think they would have a better understanding of NBA's business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they would have a better understanding of NBA's business model. It has already been noted that players who will opt not to play in the bubble will not be paid. It just seems that the players weren't asked by their respective team reps if they wanted to play and under what conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 12, 2020 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I wonder if Kyrie is recovered enough to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I can't blame Kyrie for feeling that way but if his team was actually contending, would he be so bold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted June 12, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I also wonder if Kyrie's money is at risk if he is too injured to play. Seems like it might not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
