https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2020/06/ ... s-say.htmlSince the season ended, the Cavs have considered a number of possibilities. With limited salary cap space -- and a desire to avoid the tax -- they couldn’t claim Theo Pinson or Allonzo Trier. While they revisited a deal with Trier after he cleared waivers, the former Knicks guard was looking for more money and a different contract structure than the Cavs were willing to give. Members of the front office also questioned his fit alongside young guards Darius Garland, Kevin Porter Jr. and Collin Sexton.
Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but I think we’ll see less positive tests once they get to Orlando. While it’s not exactly a bubble since Disney employees will come and go, I can’t imagine they’d be any safer back in their home markets. Constant testing, social distancing everywhere but the actual games.
I guess it depends on how many people in the Orlando area are dying each day.Split T wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 11:25 amMaybe I’m being too optimistic, but I think we’ll see less positive tests once they get to Orlando.

I didn’t mean in the bubble, I’m actually surprised it’s not half the league testing positive right now with all players being tested. I don’t see them as the type to have been sitting at home for 2 months.Split T wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:18 pmThere’s also a rush because every nba player had to be tested before going into the bubble.
Are you saying you think they’ll leave the bubble? I guess I’m not sure how the nba plans to enforce that or not, but ya that could make things problematic. I’d guess a lot had been fairly careless during the break, hence why we saw 16 test positive, but that’s why I figured they’d be safer in the bubble. That’s assuming they stay in it though.
You don't see them having the type of discipline they need to stay safe for the next 2 months?specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 9:14 pmI didn’t mean in the bubble, I’m actually surprised it’s not half the league testing positive right now with all players being tested.

I mean you have to have a lot of discipline to be one of the 450 best in the world of whatever you do, especially something that so many people would love to be and doesn't require a tremendous amount of money or education to achieve.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 10:23 pmDo you?In2ition wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 9:18 pmYou don't see them having the type of discipline they need to stay safe for the next 2 months?specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 9:14 pmI didn’t mean in the bubble, I’m actually surprised it’s not half the league testing positive right now with all players being tested.

I also think they’re 20 something year old millionaires who are used to going out and meeting girls.
