While the NBA has resumed its stride for almost a week, brand new fans in the league might think it is made up of just 22 teams. Well no, there are still 30 of them, even if eight of them were not invited to sunbathe at Mickey’s house. No luck, they will probably not have the leisure to replay the basket ball by next season, because no secondary bubble project would have been launched by the NBA.
Bad news for Zach LaVine, but also for Nico Batum or Charles-Antoine Villes. If they want to kick a basketball, it will only be with their respective team, and only if the local directives allow this possibility. Indeed, the always well informed Shams Charania of The Athletic indicated that no second bubble should be put in place to allow teams failed by the bouncer at Mickey’s to keep in shape physically, but also tactically and collectively. Bad or good news for the supporters of these franchises, who may be satisfied not to witness again the slammed performances of their favorite team.
“There is a growing feeling among the eight uninvited teams in Orlando that a second bubble will not be set up for minicamps and scrimmages. There is also concern about holding minicamps for collective training within the markets concerned. “
“Nothing is planned, it’s a shame. It goes to the detriment of those eight teams that have been left behind, ”an uninvited Florida franchise executive told Shams Charania.
It is clear that we can understand the annoyance of the organizations that did not have an entry ticket for the basketball colony in the tropics initiated by Adam Silver. However, this time can be used to focus on the future Draft, and also to heal recurring ailments. If the NBA’s decision to start its 2020-21 season in December comes to fruition, then uninvited teams could benefit from a much greater freshness than those finishing just a few weeks earlier. Well yes, the last formations will leave Disney during the first half of October, and will not have much rest before preparing for the start of a new orange ball year. Come on, you always have to see the glass half full, even if it’s difficult for those who support the Knicks.
No second bubble on the program for the eight worst students of the 2019-20 NBA year. Sorry guys, but that gives you more time to wipe through your vacation notebooks and arrive full of new knowledge in the fall. And this time you won’t be sleeping in math class, will you?
