    Is this real life? Oh hell no. Like being on “hoes” arrest.

    Edit: To be fair in spite of my salacious title, it does say all organized team activities as pointed out by Haymitch and they swear that it’s not actually a GPS tracker and only activates when near another device. I want to know Is a road trip considered an organized team activity? The actual article mentions NFL uses it on road trips which is only 8 games. And I say if it’s tracking you...it’s tracking you lol.

    Unless we have team-organized club meetings, this won't matter.

    If true, my thoughts are...Uhm, no. This is hot garbage and there will be no tracing of any kind. You can get bent.

    It is as if the NBA is experimenting on the players. The bubble and all that went on in there to this.

    Just let them get vaccines. We are ****ing up vaccine distribution and wasting time and dosage anyway. Vaccines are sitting in storage unused.

    Nba players are high risk for spreading, the nba will do a better job rapidly distributing than just sending it to your local walgreens with a pdf copy of state guidelines

    I don't see why this is a big deal. It's only for when players are in team organized activities and it can't trace your location, just what device you were close to and for how long. It's based on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology that's on some flagship Android phones and iphone 11 and on. If you used AirDrop, you've used UWB. If you've used 'Find My Iphone', you've used UWB. It's on by default with your iphones.

    EDIT: The purpose of this device is to avoid having to quarantine the entire team and staff if a positive case was found. With detailed information on how long each player was in close proximity of another player, you can quarantine the highest risk players rather than the whole team.

    This won't impact Harden unless he's getting lap dances from Rockets' team staff.
