Summary

Nate and Danny on the best contracts in the NBA. First, important context on why these good contracts are so hard to find and negotiate. Then we go through each of our candidates and pick a top-3. We also go into the latest on the NBA continuing its season and the Bulls’ GM search. Then (47:19) Ben Taylor for the Coronavirus Daily Podcast. The CDC recommends masks in public. Then, a look at the reasons for the supply chain issues from everything from household goods to key medicines and equipment. That's followed by news around the USA: the latest from NY, how US physical distancing compares to Europe, the FDA's approval of a machine that can sterilize 80,000 N95 masks per day, and the removal of the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Italy may have crested the curve, but a new study shows that the official death counts may have been low. Plus more from Greece, Spain, Iran (which plans a gradual reopening), Iraq, and Austria. Singapore has also instituted harsher measures to deal with the spread of the virus. You can subscribe by searching “Dunc’d On” on your favorite podcast player.
