In the last month the NBA has showed signs of the possibility of the 2019/2020 NBA Season coming back for its completion. However now all is fine and dandy with the latest thoughts on how things are going for the NBA Commissioner, the NBA Owners and the NBA Players. The NBA approved the opening of team facilities for voluntary workouts for the players so players can be in tip top shape when and if the season resumes. The NBA Commissioner made it clear the workouts were voluntary and that no player had to report if they didn't want to however some NBA teams now are forcing its players to show up for the workouts violatiing the Commissioners orders of the workouts being Voluntary. Resulting in the Players Association getting involved and asking the Commissioner Adam Silver to do something about it. The Commissioner also has given an update that any continuation of the season would likely mean no fans would be involved. It would likely mean the season would be taking place with all games taking place in 1 or 2 cities at most and all players quarantined meaning in all likely hood the remainder of the regular season is cancelled and we would just go straight into the playoffs. The Players would lose money as 40% of the income for the league comes from the fans and tickets sales and with no fans that money is not brought in. Discussions have been made on what the league would do to monitor players health and what would be done if Coronavirus was to spread amongst the teams playing. Also what does this mean for the 2020-2021 season with the late ending to this season, the late NBA Free Agency start and more. We will discuss what this means for the league and its fans and do we think its best with Rich Conte (@richconte on twitter), Andrew Vernon (celtics fan and member of the We Bleed Green Celtics Fan Forum Group), Kevin Dixon (host of N The Zone Sports Radio)
