Put them in a high school gym in Wyoming.

I wonder if the players even want to do some kind of modified playoffs with no fans. Whoever wins will forever have an asterisk next to their tittle

Hopefully they don't play. NBA needs to learn a lesson for overpaying these lazy ass players

That won’t work. NBA is in serious trouble and the optics are bad trying to finish this season

That seems overblown to me. A quick tournament would get great ratings with or without James. Paul is the leader of the players union, while James & Leonard are the heavy weights, but I think it's the middle tier masses that have the most sway ...unless James & Leonard offer to pay their bills :^0

I expect it will go ahead, but not any time soon.

I have little doubt the legacy chasers will want to do it. I just wonder if the role players and veterans will be really into it. Anyway could be a handicapping angle if they do play again
