they are pretty lucky that the regime in China pay the money they do or they'd be stuffed.

Which has been significantly reduced now due to China's HK Morey censorship request being declined. On the bright side it will end the ridiculously high contracts mid-tier non-household names were signing.

Just how tight is this NBA bubble going to be?

There is still going to be people coming in and out of that Disney bubble.

There were record numbers of infections in the US today and a big record increased specifically in Florida. I dont see how this goes ahead.

I don't hold anything against any player deciding not to play, least of all Betans. There's no reason that the Wiz should be there in the first place.

Lakers were 13-1 without Bradley so this is not the end of the world. Respect to Bradley for putting family first. Caruso will have to get his minutes.

Bradley holds offensive players to their worst shooting % in the NBA when guarded but Caruso is #4 on that list so he’s no slouch at the defensive end either.

That's the thing right to be wary but like Fournier basically said when guys are now sitting out NBA regular seasons to not risk injury in the hope of cashing in as a FA the following season it's a bit too much.

What is crazier is that Bertans will be sitting out with the Wizards blessing as they hope to re-sign him next season. I imagine he will likely get ostracised by his Wizards teammates if he re-signs though.

Another wrinkle to this is the only reason Bertans is even in Washington and not still at San Antonio is because Marcus Morris backed out of the contract he verbally agreed to with the Spurs so they traded Bertans to the Wizards prior to fit Morris in only for Morris to turn around and sign with the Knicks instead. The Spurs were incensed.

The NBA's never been in a bigger hole of it's own making, IMO.

Bertans has torn his ACL twice so is probably right to be wary.

Trevor Ariza and Davis Bertans have pulled out too and DeMarcus Cousins has chosen to sit it out until next season as well.

Evan Fournier took a shot at Bertans on Twitter about bailing on his teammates.
