Kinda unrealted to this, but I did say that sometime next year they may have home testing availble for Carona.

Indeed. The NBA has been very progressive on these issues.

indoor seating... just when the virus will be tearing through the country in ways we’ve yet to see (and likely WORSE than the peak in Spring)? That doesn’t seem responsible or likely.

The NBA is pretty responsive. They are probably hoping for best case scenario.

If true, what a disaster for Houston. They gave up a lot to get Westbrook... and were obviously worse than they were with Chris Paul. I don't know what they could get for him now, on that contract.

Houston should have locked Paul and Harden in a room and made them work out their poo, instead they surrendered to a personality clash and are now likely witnessing their franchise tumble into oblivion.

Maybe someone will bail them out and give them assets for Westbrook. I would guess the Knicks, they're freaking stupid... but they also don't have any assets.

Michael Jordan's gonna Michael Jordan...

That makes some sense with Jordan's relationship with him with the Jordan brand I guess, and they probably have nothing better to do with their cap room.

Houston is a tire fire. Harden is going to want out also I bet. Maybe the Knicks?
