that kicks in that they have to pay as well. so they don t get a reprieve from any of that. but in end you had a policy and then you compromised yourself in pursuit of a championship. my position is again, if you re missing games and you re a p part-time player and somehow some way you still win a championship anyway, then that gives players a license to move forward in the future and say hey, the season isn t that much a priority as long as i make sure i m ready for the playoffs i m good and those 82 games during the regular seasons and people are paying their ha hard-earned money to come to watch people play. you re not there and this will be the perfect excuse for something like that to continue. how in god s name is that possibly good for the game of basketball? i desoen t see that. fair to say chkyrie irving w in his stance on covid in terms his battle with the nba? first of all j, they didn t n a championship yet.
