In the data released to the public, the NBA revealed that more than 17% of players have triggered health and safety agreements and have to truce, physical observation and treatment. But in reality, more and more teams have to use a large number of short 10-day contracts to sign players to ensure that their lineup has enough rotation players, otherwise they will have to apply for postponement with the NBA.
As things stand now, more than 20 percent of the NBA's players may have triggered health and safety agreements, and if those players are given a 10-day or more suspension, the entire NBA may soon have no players to play and the league will be shut down.
As a result, NBA officials are actively trying to deal with all this. It is certainly not possible to guarantee the health of the players, but too many players are suspended, which is also unacceptable to the league. In addition, signing so many players who are not good enough, the level of competition in the entire NBA will also decline seriously. Eventually, the NBA will suffer serious losses in terms of finances, and sponsors will be dissatisfied in the first place.
According to reports, the NBA's advertising revenue during the Christmas war can probably be 25 million to 30 million. If the alliance shutdown is declared before the Christmas war, this loss is unbearable. In addition, there are many stars who can't play now, and the Christmas war will become very ugly.
In this way, the solution given by the NBA is to shorten the observation period of the health and safety protocol. Previously, players triggered an agreement to suspend for 10 days, and now it may only take a 6-day truce. A considerable number of NBA players said that although they triggered the agreement, they did not feel anything, which is one of the reasons why the NBA made this arrangement.
But in any case, this is a kind of ear-covering behavior, and the NBA side has been close to ignoring it in order to continue the game and make money.
