Wonder if this could be holding up some deals, in general.

Who He?
What are you celebrating?
I thought that was Marty's Michael Jackson impersonation.
Ah, that's where I've heard it before. I can just picture Marty with a single white glove.
It's also the sound Link makes when lifting something heavy in the Legend of Zelda.
Who! He! Hey! Listen!!

Another survey from the NBA today to season ticket holders. Asked about if you would be willing to go get tested within 48 hours before a game to show you are covid -, or if you would be willing to be tested at the arena 2 hours before game time, or if you would go if there was no food or drink served. Lots of stuff like that.

That's really interesting. My guess is that almost all of these questions will get a pretty negative response. People don't like being forced to do things like get tests and show up early or things of that nature. And this has become a politically polarized topic. I'll be curious to hear what measures they think are acceptable and which ones they think are too unpopular to implement.

I think this is the 3rd one I got. The questions changed a bit (all the ones about testing were new). I didn't mention the questions about "where do you get your news" and "do you trust your local government or federal government about covid info" and a couple others that were similar.

They asked that? That is v. interesting. That’s basically like asking your political affiliation.

Interesting move for OKC. Thought they were trying to cut salary/years.

Does somebody know, are they going to play a full 82 games, or are they cutting some games off the schedule?

I imagine they'll use Green initially for some veteran leadership and then try and flip him to a contender for more assets?

same as Schroder, though. I guess they are thinking they won't have a chance to resign him (or don;t want to).

Yeah. If they knew they weren't/couldn't resign Schroder, then getting a pick for him and then being able to flip Green for another pick at the deadline, they basically turned a dead asset into 2 picks.
