What if the Delete 8 teams joined Orlando?

In recent days, rumors suggest that the idea of ​​a second bubble in Chicago has been abandoned by the league, but the latter are still trying to find a way for the teams of the Delete 8 (that is to say those who are not in Orlando) to be able to train and play games. The franchises do not want to go 7 to 8 months without being able to train when the 22 other teams have done it and have found their way back to competition.

The NBA told owners they spoke to a few days ago that they are continuing to explore different options. One of the options that would be studied by the league for a long time already according to The Athletic, it would be to bring these 8 teams into the bubble already in place, in Orlando. They would replace the 6 teams that will leave at the end of the classification matches and the next 8 at the end of the first round of the playoffs on September 1.

An idea that the league would have evoked with the owners and which seems a good solution, at least the least bad of all. Michele Roberts, at the head of the players’ union, expressed his skepticism about a second bubble if the latter does not have the same protocols in place.

To see how this idea will be received by franchises and if it can materialize.
