NBA says it is talking with Disney about resuming season
The NBA is in talks with The Walt Disney Company on a single-site scenario for a resumption of play in Central Florida in late July, the clearest sign yet that the league believes the season can continue amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The National Basketball Players Association is also part of the talks with Disney, the league said Saturday. Games would be held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a massive campus on the Disney property near Orlando.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the conversations were still “exploratory,” and that the Disney site would be used for practices and housing as well.

NHL Draft Lottery will be on Friday June 26. The Nos. 1, 2 and 3 picks will be up for grabs. Fifteen teams — the seven who are no longer playing plus 8 more currently identified as Teams A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H — will be in the lottery. Same lottery odds as prior years.

It is a complicated way to do the draft. While I applaud the effort it makes much more sense to wait until the elimination round is over. But I guess they are hungry for any type of action. But with this system there is potential for two phases or two draws. Complicated. But hey, should we lose in the elimination round there is a chance we get the 1OA......

I feel Detroit should get the same opportunity to drop to 4th that we did

Apparently Byfield is dropping. Not been very impressive in tournaments.

He looked pretty basic in the wjc. I'd take Drysdale before Byfield every time

Definitely. The kraut is a stud too.
Byfield has that lack of dexterity that may indicate his skills failing at the higher levels. I'd be wary of spending a top 5 on him

So he didn't show too well in tournament. This kid looks awesome. The early part of this draft is really good.

So, for the first time, I was just looking over the draft loto procedure + play-in matchups.
And I think if we beat Minny and lose in the next round, the pick will prolly be 18th-ish (Joisy's pick in that case of course).
But if we lose to Minny we keep the pick and it will prolly be 12th-ish with a shot at top-3 (depending on what happens in the 1st phase).
Does that sound right? Cuz if so, that's not too shabby!

If correct, it’s not too shabby at all

I believe it's roughly correct, although I had a rough night last night and am in rough shape today.
(maybe shoulda said 13th-ish instead of 12th-ish)

It’s a win win situation if this aborted season goes ahead. Win and you get the fans behind you and go on a run. Lose in a tight series and the kids get their feet wet with “post season play” .... and they get to draft in the first round of a rich draft. Win a round or two and the pick for JT Miller is 18-25ish.
