So I would the assume the eliminated teams are locked in place for lottery order.. And if the Wizards lose 8 games, they will not jump ahead of anyone in lottery order.

we can hope that’s the case. Would think the 8 teams not invited would be locked into the top 8 spots of the draft.

would they do an 8 team lottery?
Yeah, no idea how that works.. Feel like they'd have to keep the 14 team method, but does seem unfair to the teams that didn't get to play more games.

Now that this is settled, are we going to have the annual Chicago x3 tourney? I'd really like to know, for the kids.

13 from the west, 9 from the east, I guess they are now sharing disney world with regular people?
which seems impossible.

The NBA for the most part has the best plan in place. Isolate everyone and their families in one place, get started, get it over with. I dont know about the if one player from one team tests positve the whole team is out is going to work or still part of this.

Sounds like no one knows yet. The problem would be starting the next year. If it started on Christmas day next year thats less than 3 months to the start of another season.

Well, way I figure is they already got 3 months off. 8 teams are going to have at least 9 months off.

Only person this will be a problem for is Kawhi Leonard.

Think about what happens if LeBron gets covid, and is asymptomatic in the middle of these playoffs.

Or will the NBA make some special exceptions.... LOL

Who the hell knows. I personally don't care what happens to LeBron. I'm more concerned if that happens to Giannis.
