Donovan, other players considering not playing

[oneye]

Can we just put the SLC Stars out there for the rest of the season? Donovan has almost nothing to gain from this bubble scenario

Actually he and every player does. Ratings drive revenue, and the amount of revenue that will be lost for not playing is in the billions. It will impact how much he and everyone makes because it will kill the cap for years. They have every financial incentive to play.

it's suspicious.
FIRST - we do not know how COVID affected his playing skills.
SECOND we do not know what is his relationship with GOBERT.
NOW he is speculated about his money - I understand it's a lot at stake but GO and prove You are worth IT.

Should've just called it the season.

So Don was live tonight, he’ll play if the season resumes he said, and he 100% is the only player who hasn’t been to SLC and still isn’t since the season ended. On the entire roster lol. Kinda pathetic tbh.

Frankly, you don’t know what your talking about.

I could care less that he’s not in Utah or where ever. He’s taking care of his business whatever that is. My god you’re a busybody at its worst. I’m kinda sick of your ****.

Simple solution here. Instead of insurance allow them to sign their extensions before the season resumes. The insurance policies are expensive, dumb, and will be hard to get the money or prove lost revenue even if there is an injury.

Seems like a pretty good solution to me as well, and I can understand it at least a bit from the young guys perspective. This is their chance to secure real wealth for their families going forward, you don't want to take any chances with that you don't absolutely have to.

Sick of my ****? I’m sick at the fact of an entire 14 man roster I’ve seen every single player two-way and even Stars players come back to SLC, use the training facility and do things except for one guy, and that guy happens to be the....well.... “face of the franchise”....if you’re a leader for your community and franchise that’s 110% not how you do it. He’s about as terrible of a leader and franchise player as you could ask for. He avoids any conflict, is too cowardly to talk to local media when he creates drama, and can talk a ton on twitter but not with his voice or face at any point and time. Why am I so hard on him? Because he acts like he’s such a great leader, and he’s really trash at it.


In fact if you’re the Jazz, save your cap space and make him wait an entire season more, he ain’t staying around either ways o do what’s best for the franchise and not the crybaby entitled star.

Okay oneye Bart

This is pretty simple. If I don't show up to work I don't get paid.
These players aren't special. In fact if the players don't come back you'll see the owners rip up the current cba. They need to be smart.
With the new tv deals and the forced reduced seating in the arenas revenue is going to drop the value of every single professional franchise. The estimate I've heard is the estimated drop will be 20% right off the top.

Your obsessive hatred for Donovan has surpassed Franklin's obsessive love for Corbin. People are sick of your trolling. STFU, please.

Link?

Link?

It’s on his Facebook page, he streamed for like 2 hours I just happened to see the part where he said it lol, I have no idea what part of the stream it’s on. Someone asked if he was against restarting the season he said no, then mentioned the insurance for injury thing for a second then basically said if he’s called in to work he’ll go to work. He said it, I promise.

This isn't good. If Don is going to play half heartedly not wanting to risk his big payday, he is going to be worthless. Same for JIngles if he is worried about picking up the virus. If it is true that several dozen players are not enthused about restarting the season, I'm afraid the NBA will put a sub par product out there.
