Leonard keeps whining about his team needing to play smarter. Welp, the guy left two rosters filled with really smart players. Did he think he could just snap his fingers, strong arm ownership into acquiring one guy and that would make the Clippers a very smart, very disciplined, well oiled machine?

They have players testing positive for a second time. If the immune response gets weaker over time, it might be an every year sort of thing, like the flu vaccine.

The NBA and NBPA agreed for at least the next two weeks, players and team staff have to remain at their residence in between practices and games (when teams are at home). On the road, players and team staff can't leave their hotel outside of practices/games
Talked about this on the BS pod today. Fact is, Silver isn't cut out to be a wartime commissioner.

Without knowing the why this sounds like a politically biased opinion. Silver has done a great job since he has commissioner. The situation in the US is the worst it has ever been, and they started with asking the players and staff for personal responsibility when that failed (like it has throughout the world but even more so in the states) they have increased the measures. Not much silver can do about his employees getting sick from a pandemic.
1.I personally disagree that Silver has done a great job. From my POV all he has done is let the players walk all over him consistently.
2. 1 is proven out by his weak covid responses. Harden no being suspended for 10 games when it was documented he was obviously going to strip clubs is more than enough evidence he lets people walk all over him.

It has? What evidence at all is there for this? All the evidence I have seen points to stagnation/decline, plus the notion that if anything serious happened to Lebron the whole league would detonate. That isn't good planning or good leadership.
