The Los Angeles Clippers have been the team who has been most vocal about pushing for more family and friends to be allowed into the NBA's bubble in Orlando earlier in the timeline, according to sources that spoke with Sam Amick of The Athletic.
The Clippers hope the league will eventually allow at least one family member or friend to join players at the start of the first round.
“They’re fighting for that,” a rival GM said.

Other league sources expect the Pelicans to get plenty of prime-time television opportunities in Orlando. “It’s obvious a ton of people will watch just to watch him,” another Western Conference executive said. “Go back and look at how full the arena was at summer league to go watch him play. It will be huge for [him to be in the bubble].”

“Zion has been diligent about taking care of himself,” said David Griffin, the Pelicans’ executive vice president of basketball operations. “He’s in a good space physically and mentally.” Another team source went a step further. “He’s going to shock some people,” the source said.

Zion Williamson is ready to go, and that's good news for the NBA

The No. 1 overall pick is expected to be a marquee attraction when the league resumes play next month.

Nah, you take the risk and bring in KD and Kyrie, then hope for the best.

Even if shit crashes and burns, yall had to take the risk.

Exactly. My preference would be to build on what we started. But getting KD and Kyrie was a no brainer. This isn’t the Paul Pierce/KG trade at all.

I would love for my team to be the Knicks minus Dolan.

That's a team that winning less than 40 games on the season, no coach, has lockerroom turmoil, and is led by not 1 but 2 enigmas.

Couldn't be me. But I get it tho. Lmao.

The Miami Heat are expected to pursue both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Oladipo in 2021 free agency. The Heat would likely need to acquire at least one of the two players via sign-and-trade due to its lack of cap space for two max slots.
Miami's interest in Oladipo was first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The Indiana Pacers acquired Oladipo in 2017 from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It’s all Greek to everyone: Planning for 2021 NBA Free Agency is unimaginable

Teams and agents that normally have their financial ducks set well in advance are guessing, with one of the best classes ever a year away.

Don’t listen to a knicks fan about matters like this they don’t know better

The bolder is the problem lol

I get it fam. You a nets fan at heart but fell deeply in love with d.wade and became a heat fan.

The perception of the Knicks have to change. Players seem to hate their experience playing there. Make it a must play destination. You can’t have former players getting thrown out of games that doesn’t help at all.

Dolan just gotta sell the team. Need to find some dirt on him and force him out like sterling his bitch ass.

It wont take long at all for the Knicks to be a top destination as soon as Dolan is gone.
