His kid has a compromised immune system...I can’t knock a man for putting the life of his child over playing pro basketball

Jazz losing their two best forwards within a couple of days..I don't blame Ingles knowing the NBA's proposal. Idk why he is considering full on retirement though..can he not return when its fully safe?

I'm not mad at him that's supposed to be his first priority.

He's forcing the Jazz's hand. This is his way of asking for a trade. Wuhan Coronavirus is going to be with us for a very long time even with a vaccine.
lmaooo
oh wow...crazy as it sounds I forgot about that...both him and mitchell had that shyt so I can see him being apprehensive
this rushing back to start the season is ludicrous and manipulated by greed/selfishness smh...the league is risking being shut down again...slightly OT but I’m curious how karl anthony thomas feels about this rush to return
who’s the other one?

Exactly. Absolute no brainer.
Don’t blame him. Not worth it at all, imagine contracting covid and your kid has it and possibly dies something you’ll never get over . All for some money when you are already rich
Rudy Gobert being his teammate has nothing to do with this. The virus is all around the world due to china allowing that shyt to happen. Who knows how long and severe the virus will be once they open up the borders and planes start flying again. Since he made millions already, he's easily set for life. He definitely won't be the only athlete who's considering retirement because of chinese virus.
Any man respects the decision wholeheartedly, especially when the NBA doesn't even try to have a concrete plan to keep players safe. "We're not keeping players isolated, we'll just wait for players to test positive before we force isolation." Although people carry it without knowing, which is why you locked down in the first place, so what good is your plan at that point? Nothing but respect to Ingles for taking all the steps he can to protect his family since his employer won't, might be hard to believe for some but there are things bigger than sports.
But I see responses like
"Bye nikka I need muh sportz"
"He's only doing this because he wants out on his team"
Safe to say throughout the ample downtime we've all had, there's been plenty of time to sit back and observe people and make theories. You find out about the nature of men in times of uncertainty type shyt etc. Two things I've learned is to the scale of just how much greed runs the world, the other is most sports fans are massive degenerates. The adrenaline rush from it and them using sports as a crutch are the only few things keeping them going. I've heard that before but it's different when that lightbulb goes off in you and it makes sense.
