Some NBA players may protest by boycotting playoffs

just cancel the season and plan a fresh start for next season. No need to risk the health of the players with the upcoming second wave of the rona, have some common sense.

not playing next month means they not probably not playing for 2 years atleast

where is bron when it actually matters.... Bron no where to be seen, he talks a big game but when the cards on the table....?

it's pretty clear he would want the season to resume, however he'll be fine if it doesn't.


it's smart for him to stay out of it.

He’s a free agent this simmer

they don’t play this summer the cap crashes

he goes from maybe getting a 4 year 60 million dollar deal

to some shyt that’s half that .

He’d get fukked

nikkas like Kyrie already got their bag . They talking reckless

Even if they did return to play he's probably getting fukked. They aren't going to make back ALL the money they lost which may have cap implications whether they play or not.

nah, only the top guys like Kyrie mentioned are "wealthy"
most of these guys are rich but not wealthy where they can sit out 2 seasons of bball
CJ McCollum said 1/3 of the league are living check to check

I mean that makes their position even more respected.

If the ones who are not wealthy don't have a problem sitting out, then no one who is posting on this board should either.

We already know where LeBron stands, he didn't wanna stop play when it happened, and had been vocal all quarantine about being ready to play whenever it's time.

Also Bron's position is now compromised with the new Racial element.

He's been vocal about BLM yet, now seems insensitive to the movement when it applies to lesser known talent in the NBA

Even if they did return to play he's probably getting fukked. They aren't going to make back ALL the money they lost which may have cap implications whether they play or not.

but its better for him to adjust the current salary cap down instead of the owners tearing up the CBA and starting from scratch

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

the cap is crashing anyway.... unless well...... they change the CBA.

Yes it’s going to fall

but some revenue will be salvaged if the season is resumed because of TV rights

if the season is suspended totally all that is out the window and on top of that the CBA is tossed in the trash .

It’s a dumb move

 

[Brozay]

Kyrie is the NBAPA VP ? That’s why I’m surprised he didn’t stand up during when they agreed to the restart proposal? Or was he just outvoted during the process?

 

[GilSho]

Only Lakers & Bron stans are DESPERATE for the season to return. Let's be honest.

I agree. The problem is that there may be other christian woods out there that understand this and STILL dont want to play.

50% or whatever the number is better than Zero money And a new CBA

sure but Kyrie saying he will give up everything is different than Ja Morant or Donovan Mitchell saying the same thing
Kyrie already set, 2 max contracts already
As long as those players realize that then cool

The CBA is likely going to be starting from scratch or adjusted regardless of what the media says.

Fans likely won’t be back in the stands next season at normal capacity, so there’s no way that owners are not going to want next season to be started under current terms. Especially when there’s no timetable of when things will be back to normal.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Dont mean that he doesnt feel like that.

Could mean that hes upset that they are releasing his name

thats how I see it, multiple reporters are saying he was a part of. Dude probably doesn't want name getting out though because everyone on twitter is anti-kyrie right now

 

[ALonelyDad]

I hate this clown so much, never had one good take but this one might take the cake
