But I am concerned that, you know, sometimes you have to just walk up on the table and just take your losses and move forward and focus on next season, focus on trying to make sure that the 2021 season is going to be something that fans want to, you know, see and witness and participate in.

I think that this right here, just to make money for this season, I honestly feel like,

I hope it turns out well.

That's really all.

I mean, I love basketball.

I love the NBA just as much as anybody, if not more than a lot of other people.

So I want to see this succeed, but there's just so many signs that make me just question.

I mean, I know they want to complete the season.
