    Wordz on da street is, Kyrie has already convinced Melo and Dwight to join his new league. In order to join this new league that has already Superstars such as Kryie, Dwight, and Melo, you must be a trouble maker and not well liked by your own teammates.

    KD so far is silent, but he has all the qualification to join the new league

    Players starting their own league is not a new idea. It was brought up during the last negotiation lockout. It predictably fell flat to earth (pun intended).

    I doubt also there will be anyway close to 30 that refuses a paycheck.

    Players can talk all they want, but baby mama and sugar babies lifestyle isn't cheap.

    Sugar babies need their money or they going to make trouble for their baby mamas.

    Skip and Stephen A. Smith will be together again.

    LeBron will win the championship and people will discredit it.

    Owners are waiting until the free agent signing period to basically cancell the season based off of contracts with the media.

    The media wants to keep getting paid for as long as possible so everybody waiting to officially cancel the season

    Well, less than 10 days to find out if Dwight and Melo will follow through on their threat. My betting money say Dwight and Melo are all talk and they will play for pay.

    List of amentities in WDW does not include strippers unfortunately or escort services.


    • Athletes will have access to a players-only lounge that includes TVs, arcade gaming, access to the NBA2K video game, ping pong and more

    • A 24-hour VIP concierge will be available to players. The memo says daily entertainment made available could include movie screenings and DJ sets. Escorts and Strippers are excluded from this service.

    • Players will have access to virtual chaplain services, yoga and meditation, virtual mind health sessions, sensual massage, and mental health services

    My first question - Why should the league take on the financial obligation ? Insurance is the players / individual's responsibility

    Kyrie is such a b****.

    He's trying to use this crisis to his financial benefit while pretending to be about the systemic racism.

    Maybe Kyrie should start by making his own Game of Zones episodes, that would be more entertainment for us audience.

    Starting a new league is more complex.

    The NBA will create an anonymous hotline to report potential violations of protocols in Orlando

    Team governors will be allowed to visit practices/games. They will use separate arena entrances/exists, wear masks, and watch games/practices from at least 25 away from the court. They will not be allowed to come into close contact with players/coaches/staff at practices/games.

    Per health/safety memo: Teams will arrive in Orlando in stages and will play their first regular season games in sequences to ensure they have the same amount of time to prepare: the group 1 plays their first games July 30/31, group two July 31/Aug 1, group three on Aug. 1/2.

    Team staff members that violate the safety protocols could be removed from campus without warning to their team. The team will not have the opportunity to replace the staff member dismissed.

    Per health/safety memo: any player who has a positive test for COVID-19 will have to rest and refrain from exercise for two weeks from the later of the date of the player's first positive test and/or resolution of their symptoms, if they have any. That two-week period will apply at any point from when testing starts on June 23 through the end of the playoffs. It will not apply if someone has a false positive (which will be determined via the league's re-testing protocol).

    If any team staff member (i.e. non-player) elects not to go to Orlando, it will be up to that person's team whether or not to continue to pay that person for games/team activities in Orlando, per the newly-released health protocols.

    Mandatory for everyone to wear in NBA bubble: MagicBands, which function as room key, security check points, coronavirus testing check-ins
