The NBA isn’t close to making any decisions on a potential restart, and it isn’t setting any deadlines, commissioner Adam Silver said Friday.
The league has been shut down since Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 on March 11.
Silver addressed the league’s state amid the coronavirus pandemic in a Friday conference call with media members, but he offered no firm answers regarding the future.
“Based on the reports that we got from varied outside officials, current public health officials … we are not in a position to make any decisions, and it’s unclear when we will be,” he said.

No problem. I’m in no hurry to watch! IMHO
One might go and predict that the fall season won’t start up, and a fair number of teams might be ‘finished’ financially.
Same here. Not having to watch those egotistical players shooting their mouths off with political ideas that in retrospect is Chicom propaganda. Yes there are bright spots in this shutdown,light traffic,cheap gas,kids not being brainwashed in schools. On the other hand the country is turning into a socialist dystopia and money will be worthless. There’s always a trade off.
There’s a little schadenfreude at work for me.
I’d just as soon the NBA folds. I soured on the spoiled punk gazzillionaires decades ago.
I think the last NBA game I watched had to be back in the seventies.
I signed off of those preening China suckers as well.

They are billionaire playtoys. Maybe a couple of marginal teams will change hands, and the next round of player contracts will take a hit, based on league revenue—but they’ll get by.
I forgot they weren’t playing.
The last time I watched the NBA, Dave DeBusschere was playing forward for the NY Knicks.
Yep not thrilled about watching a game of Nairobi Round Ball.
The league will open when LeBron says so.
Lebron will say so when Xi says so.
I watched Dave and the Knicks as a little kid in Manhattan on this new thing called cable.
Years later I met him downtown at a restaurant and he let me and a work colleague check out his championship ring.
He had a sweet game on a great team.
The entire NBA could move to China. That way they can get instructions directly, and he closer to their overpriced shoes. A side effect is that the crime rate would drop in this ciuntry. Sounds like a win win win for all.

Baby Momma cash collectors and grill teeth manufacturers are very saddened.
They’re waiting for a shipment of “Orange Man Bad” hats and t shirts to come in from their masters in China.
I say let them go play in China. Of course most of them have to pay double rent and they will not be welcome at McDonalds, but hey. They love themselves some CHINA.
