Listening to Chris Mannix on a talk show the other day
He thinks (rumor) if the NBA was to be able to somehow continue the rest of this season , that it can take place in Vegas
Like a mini tournament (without fans)
Players would be tested frequently (new Abbott 15 mins test kits approved). And players can't wander off anywhere. Just hotel, games etc
Mannix would propose a 3 week training camp to get the players up to speed
My guess from there is, then run quick small March Madness style tourney between the bottom teams (each conference). Then the top two winners from each conference face the 7th and 8th teams in a best of 2 or 3. Meaning if one team wins two in a row, they move on. If its tied 1-1, have a third game to decide who moves on.
Once the 1-8 seed is in place. Keep the same format until conference finals/Finals where it becomes a fixed best of 5.
Some possible roadblocks
* This idea/plan can't work IF players/union do not agree. Though Mannix thinks thats unlikely since they want to be paid
* IF the Feds/governor/mayor do not allow this, since it would still involve hotel staff, chefs, camera crew, basketball center workers and other workers
* IF the Feds implement a domestic flight ban
* IF one person test positive and the tournament cant' continue
Thoughts?
