Fun fact: Patrick McCaw and Lebron James have the same amount of Rings, in 33% of the amount of finals appearances as Lebron.

This is exhibit A of the reasons why player’s lists not only aren’t better/more educated than random people on the internet. But they are often worse.

Players have agendas and biases. The way they rank their peers should not be taken very seriously or used as evidence of anything.

Probably been mentioned somewhere but I haven't read any news items in detail, but what's Toronto suppose to do? Last I saw Canada still has its border closed. Tagging @raptorlife4 since he might have more details

From what I hear is if there is a season the Raptors will play somewhere in the US. Anyone crossingthe border is required to quarantine for 14 days. Which wouldnt work obviously

I'm sure they'd make an exception considering the president is pushing sports.

I figured as much game wise but what about workouts? Are they just gonna move all their team functions to the states right now because their players can't enter the country to work out at their team facility.

The only way the NBA is coming back is with the bubble idea. They aren’t playing in home cities. Too much risk. So all Toronto will have to do is train stateside to prepare.

Harden not wanting to come back until the threat in minimal, that’s alright James, Russ will take your shots no problem.

That is fine. He can stay home.

Will be just like every other year in the playoffs.

pretty confident he spends more time at the strip club than at home during the playoffs at least.

Ah so maybe he wants to wait until he's comfortable getting stripper strange on the road

Workout facility is open now. 1 player at a time.
I read that there are about 8 players still in town.

Bubble idea anyway if that even works
Fingers crossed. Still feel like it will take a miracle for this to happen

You do realize it is basically a lock that the nba is back right?

I wouldnt say anything in this world is a lock right now

Once they agree on terms. Testing still needs to take place. Im betting may players will not come back until things are more under control.
I for one would love to have the Raptors on defending our title. I hope it works out .

You got it, that is where he wants minimal risk.

Testing will obviously take place. That isn't a issue. They're not going to bring players back to play games and not test anyone.

They already have a date in mind for games and the playoffs from what Spencer Dinwiddie said. Also they just took a poll of players last week to see if they wanted to return. These conversations would not be happening if it was even close to a 50/50 split. Almost certain most players said yes they want to continue the season
