....and here we Go! Hawks COVID cases. UPDATED! 13 Players to H&S

[Gray Mule]

If I understand this Covid thing:

You test positive, meaning you've got it.  Therefore, if you've got it, you can share - give it to everyone else.

I must wonder - How did our four Hawk players not get it?  We know that they were exposed.  All the other Hawks have it - Including some coaches and broadcasters.

I think we're just down to one now right?  Mays?

oh and Cam.

[macdaddy]

Cam being 7'4" is too tall to get it.  

 

I don't think we even have to agree on how it spreads.  I think we can all agree that most people have no idea what asymptomatic means.   I keep talking to people who have it and they say 'I'm fine.  just a headache, or just a little sinus stuff probably allergies'.

If you stopped counting people with no symptoms as "sick" it WOULD be much more contained lol.

How many of the Covid cases in the NBA are players actually ill? How many seriously ill? MJ played an entire finals game with the flu.

This makes no sense at all unless those other guys are really sick. 

[macdaddy]

What about Trae?  He got out under the new rules right?

Really NBA? Why? Why would players be under different quarantine times just because of when they started the new rule? The sensible thing would be to make it retroactive. This is the most non scientific bureaucratic bullcrap I've ever heard.

Just make Miami sign Rony Seikaly or somesuch and keep the same energy. It's not all that far-fetched. After all, they already string along Udon{{Abducted)).

So basically we are being punished for signing 10 days guys. You think Pat Riley is gonna play with a team of 10 day scrubs? Hell no he won't.

[mrhonline]

It seems kinda obvious that there should be a cap to the # of 10-day contracts a team can give out. If those have been exhausted and you still can't get to 8 healthy players, then you postpone the game.

Expecting teams to endlessly sign minor leaguers has been a terrible idea.

Best solution I've seen yet. 

[JayBirdHawk]

I'd be ok if Trae, Cam and Capela sit out the game in protest. Just throw the All GLeague squad out there.

This is all BS at this point. I need TS to grow a pair and stand up to the NBA. He is trying to play by these biased rules and sacrificing actual games in the process. We should have shut ourselves down a long time ago. Screw everyone else.

[Guest]

Right now we would have the 11th pick in the draft.
Just saying ...

Trae tested out with two negative tests.

"asymptomatic" aka not sick, and not contagious. Let's stop being stupid and allow not sick players to play please. 

So if a player says he's asymptomatic the NBA is just supposed to trust them? Not arguing your point, as I also think its getting ridiculous... Just sayin. Players will lie if they think they can play and still get paid...With that said, how about a simple temp check before the games for asymptomatic players like they did at the strip clubs for a while(I was told, I wouldnt know.)
