WEBVTT 00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:02.760 align:middle line:10% - I will say that there's a couple of big questions. 00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:04.800 align:middle line:10% One, it isn't spelled out how many 00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:10% positive tests it would take for the NBA 00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:08.189 align:middle line:10% to consider shutting this down. 00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:10.410 align:middle line:10% It's left open ended other than that the NBA 00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:13.800 align:middle line:10% acknowledges they're expecting multiple positive tests. 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.763 align:middle line:10% The other thing is, one of the big factors 00:00:15.763 --> 00:00:17.430 align:middle line:10% for the people going into the bubble is, 00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:18.990 align:middle line:10% can somebody be kept out? 00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:21.830 align:middle line:10% Can somebody be barred because of pre-existing conditions 00:00:21.830 --> 00:00:22.730 align:middle line:10% or medical risks? 00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:24.300 align:middle line:90% And the answer is yes. 00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.210 align:middle line:84% The NBA has a medical panel that has 00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:30.060 align:middle line:90% the ability to bar coaches if-- 00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.009 align:middle line:84% if they don't believe that they can go there, 00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:34.120 align:middle line:84% and this potentially opens them up to a lawsuit. 00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:36.120 align:middle line:10% And the hope is that this will not come to this, 00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:39.920 align:middle line:10% but the NBA will have the right to say that you can't come in. 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.350 align:middle line:10% And, you know, the other-- 00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:43.350 align:middle line:10% you know, the other major factor, obviously, 00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:45.000 align:middle line:10% is the life inside there. 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.250 align:middle line:10% The players are going to be in three different hotels, 00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:49.230 align:middle line:10% but for the first two weeks down there, they're 00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:51.270 align:middle line:10% not going to be able to associate with anybody 00:00:51.270 --> 00:00:52.800 align:middle line:10% outside their hotel. 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.290 align:middle line:10% So, if your good friend is on another team, 00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:57.600 align:middle line:10% you're going to have to stay-- stay with FaceTime. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.610 align:middle line:10% In addition to when you arrive in Orlando 00:00:59.610 --> 00:01:02.070 align:middle line:10% up to 48 hours in your room. 00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.432 align:middle line:10% You may not leave while you quarantine. 00:01:04.432 --> 00:01:05.640 align:middle line:10% - So, there's a lot in there. 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.375 align:middle line:10% And I enjoyed just from a distance looking at the way 00:01:09.375 --> 00:01:10.500 align:middle line:10% they broke down the hotels. 00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:11.967 align:middle line:84% There's one that we work for ESPN. 00:01:11.967 --> 00:01:13.800 align:middle line:84% We [INAUDIBLE] Disney World a million times. 00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.410 align:middle line:10% The Grand Floridian was always my hotel of choice, 00:01:16.410 --> 00:01:18.690 align:middle line:10% but that is neither here nor there for the purposes 00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:19.590 align:middle line:10% of this discussion. 00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:22.830 align:middle line:10% What is important here is the June 24th date 00:01:22.830 --> 00:01:24.490 align:middle line:10% that the players have to inform teams 00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:25.740 align:middle line:10% whether or not they're coming. 00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:29.090 align:middle line:10% What do we expect to see there?
