A lot of tanking. We could be in for a lot of tanking in Orlando.
A number of players have already opted out of the NBA’s restart. Others have cited injuries as reason for not participating. More have been forced out from positive COVID-19 tests.

There is little reason beyond financial gain for anyone to be there. It is all a recipe for bad basketball.
But worse than bad basketball is intentionally bad basketball.
If not for appearing on each other’s schedule, the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets might lose every game they play in Disney World.
