Forget about Williams potentially costing the Clippers a chance of winning it all, but his selfishness might not only infect other players following the rules but also all the staff in the bubble and their FAMILIES.

That's why someone here asked if the NBA was going to ship in some escorts errrrr ..... company for them.
Also you need to research Lou Williams dating preferences

Will lou one of my favorite guys who writes/podcast etc about the raps. Hope they can have a nice sit down, think they could both play along and make it a funny interview.
Kinda sucks for him in a way that he has credentials and access now. He was always like a RR poster here would hype the team but also joke about the guys (Wouldn't be surprised if one of the accounts here that isn't active anymore is him from his RR days).
To be the champs you got to beat the champs

Windhorst has an interesting article up on ESPN:
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...yroll-problems
Talks about how some teams might be really strapped for cash next season and a lot are already in serious debt. Could see some roster turnover or money pinching moves to get some relief.
Some teams that might be in trouble include the Rockets, Pacers, Heat and Thunder. With the Clippers doing remarkably well thanks to Ballmer's deep pockets (who made even more money this year). Gilbert may be one of the richest owners in sports as well. Yet they have a really crappy team. Lebron factor I bet is still paying off.
MLSE wasn't mentioned.. but I could see them struggling. Would they get anything back from the NHL bubble? Are any of those games being played at the Scotia Bank Arena (still hate that name)?
But one more interesting tidbit is that draft picks might become available for cash. If Masai wants to move up in this draft coming up, he might be able to.

I think it's very tricky to commit to anything right now. From the looks of things this virus isn't going away this year. What will happen 2021 If no treatment is available that would put this pandemic to bed ?! Another season with empty arenas?! Would the owners accept losing more money?! If things dont change with the border would the Raptors be forced to play Home games elsewhere down the States like the Blue Jay's if America opens up fully?! Some players aren't going to look kindly to signing with the Raptors (in the offseason) if there will be extra restrictions placed on themselves or family/friends everytime they come in and out of Canada.

And what about Nurse and Masai? Those 2 guys still aren’t locked up. WTF? C’mon Larry T, what are you waiting for?

If any Canada’s covid response may add to players, coaches and front office employees desire to stay. Everything that has happened since March has just highlighted how much more stable/progressive Canada is compared to the US.
I don’t think Masai is going anywhere, as long as we compensate him appropriately. Nurse seems loyal and appears to see the value of living in Toronto (he’s a mid-west guy anyways).
As for players, I think we are getting a better reputation. The franchise has elevated itself, winning and culture have been top notch. We’ve been able to retain the players we have, minus Kawhi but he wanted to be in LA regardless. I really think we are on equal footing with maybe 26 of the other teams. LA, Golden State and Miami will always be a big draw. But other than franchises I think we have equal chance to get guys.

They are currently playing in the US. They have to play all teams from the US. I'm not so sure this matters. Perhaps they might want to live in Canada after they're done playing should this COVID19 pandemic turn into some sort of US shattering event, but beyond that, I don't see how this matter to them. They're essentially living in ground zero right now. There's no escaping this if they want to be NBA players.
