Definitely right, longer and it's more fun to watch as all the NBA players will be present in the same venue.
Seeing many games in one day, that would really add more enjoyment to us fans and especially if we are gambling as we are always in action to bet.

The season will start next month as per report, and that means players should be in shape now but continuously practicing to have the best chance to qualify in the playoffs in a shortened season.

GSW is one of the teams I'm looking up to surprise the ranking this coming season.

I don't t think they are not happy with this because NBA is the reason why they can manage to feed their family. The only problem here is there are not enough trainings and practices because they are the last one who playd on finals. Even if they reached the finals last season, they also need to make sure that they have enough practice or else the come out of winner will be changed easily. Their another big disadvantage is they don't have enough rest  and we all know that even if you are very skillful, if you have not enough rest the skill you got will be worthless

I think the point is can Orlando accommodate all the teams right now? Or do the NBA needs a second arena close to that the players can travel in and out without sacrificing the safety protocol. This is very important for the NBA management to solve and find the solution prior to the opening.

Players will always be in shape, even Lakers are now, but perhaps they just want to have a longer rest, that's it.

Russell Westbrook wants out of Houston

A good move for me by both parties. Westbrook likes to have a similar role that he holds for a long time in OKC.

But I don't know how it will be granted by the Rockets since "correct me if I'm wrong", Westbrook is under contract and will just have a player option in 2022.

That's not the point and don't compare normal people's work to NBA players that played in the NBA finals.

These players I'm talking about aren't bitching or complaining. The majority of the NBA players who didn't play in the bubble or got exit early are now fully in shape because most of them didn't play for years now. They are ready anytime to play. Next season will be more competitive because some superstars will now get back in action and these teams that recently played in the Finals are just starting their vacation. And on that vacation, practice is out of their schedule. For example, some Miami Heat's main players suffered injuries in the Finals and need more time to rest. Lakers, on the other hand, especially those in the main lineup, are putting more minutes per game compared to their average.

These players aren't asking aggressively in the NBA. They want to come back of course. But shouldn't be a problem if from Dec. 22 they hope it will be shift in January. The reason the NBA was considered to start the season is because of the annual Christmas Special. Since no choice, LAL and HEAT will play as that was the decision.


Agree to you. They really deserve to ask for a small request. Should not be a problem.

Yes, that's correct. Player option at 2022-2023.
That means he will need to play through this season first.
Also, to endure what is Silas proposing.
It is said in the article that there will be "tweaks" in their plays. "Tweak" is not the right word for me. More like "overhaul".
He wants to change the isolation plays that are Harden and WB specialties. It will be a huge change for the whole team.
They are just not used to it. 

Why did he moved to Rockets and wanted to play with Harden if he wants out so quickly, what was he expecting when he got there? He was a good player for a great team at OKC when Durant was there, he was a leader of a bad team when Durant left, and now he was a good player in a good team so he was in best of the worlds both being superstar of a team that could make it to finals if they are lucky with seeding.

I don't know what type of situation he could get at this stage of his career, he is a good player, all-star level but he won't be traded to a team that will fight for a title, he has a huge amount of contract and in order to eat that much salary a team has to trade another star, and not many teams would be willing to give their stars for westbrook right now.

There's nothing he can do if he wants to be out of Rockets.

But if he really does and he insists to be out, we know that there will be legal matters for it. But it seems that they will be on fire and has to get the belt for the next season if he really does want out.

CP3 is a good player but something is just wrong about Paul George. No offense, I like the guy playing but something is wrong with him ALWAYS during playoffs. Its good that he is honest but he cost Kawhi another shot at a finals appearance. They are also recruiting CP3 to at least win a championship because he absolutely deserves it because some news appearing that he ain't a good player but its a bad news about him.

Clippers might do what's necessary and will take into the account of acquiring CP3 if that's what Kawhi wants and sees a good addition to the team. A trade is likely or if not, they have to pay whatever is the cost. But that's going to be a strong addition and tandem if that's what Kawhi wants. How many times did Kawhi had some rumors like this? the act that he's choosing the players he want to be with his team.
