i don't think you have.  you are talking about people like they are property.

Of course all sides would have to agree! I'll go to a bubble for 3 or 4 months for good to great to oustanding pay. Many if not most would. This is all on a voluntary basis. Of course, as LG suggested, people would probably have the option to opt out again. It's far from slavery.

not me, i would have opted out if i was in the  nba also.  these are young guys with families, gf's, bf's, kids, animals.... that's a whole lot to leave 1 parent with...  in your example you mentioned team facilities as a place for them to live permanently.  i don't think you get how crazy that is.  it'll never happen.  never.  a playoff bubble i could see. 2 cities... if we can get there which i think we can if there's flexibility and an acceptance of 'merc' players.

No crazier than the NBA players playing in one spot away from their kids and families.

which they all agreed to with lots and lots of great communication with a guy they actually respect and a player rep they actually respect.  before we go any further do you see where your option has a chance of exactly 0.  and this doesn't take into consideration the 1,000,000 things you haven't considered yet

a playoff bubble seems like it would make sense tbh.  assuming we get that far.

Titans fuged up royally, I think they must have became lazy about the testing. Cam is one player and so far no other positives, I know its early and postives can spring up tomorrow. 

way too early to say regarding positives etc.  it takes days.  thats why Biden isn't even really out of the clear yet completely etc, and why Titans players continue to show up positive. its not cause they are being irresponsible even after they got shut down.

He may just have been doing that

or maybe a mask doesn’t help at all?

They work well in other countries that have Covid under control. Ones that have a strong “anti-mask” movement like us and England are having issues...

A player on the Chiefs tested positive also.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
