If there is a finish to this season I think the Clippers are the team to beat. Milwaukee will probably come out of the East but I think nobody is better than Kawhi and company not even the Lakers or the Bucks who are the other two top contenders for a title.

I don't seem them winning in the next 10 years... unless they somehow net a big free agent. They did a good job in getting rid of Gar Forman and bringing in Karnisovas, but there are too many strong teams in the East (Bucks, Raps, Celts, 76ers, Heat, Pacers, Nets) that I don't see the Bulls overtaking in the near future.
That being said, I actually think that a healthy Bulls team might be able to sneak into the playoffs in the 8th seed next year. A lineup of Sato/Lavine/Porter/Markkannen/Carter Jr. with Thad Young off the bench is a decent lineup.

A lot of players don't want to come back. They have started opening up practice facilities for optional practices and there are a good amount of people who aren't showing up.
What is your brilliant idea to save the season?

Since when have employees had option to choose whether go to work or not based on do they feel like it?
This is exactly the reason why they should have strong leader to make decisions and to make sure they are followed.
Personally, i would have called season off long time ago. Like i said before, break have been so long already that it is more like starting new season already anyways, rather than continuing where left off. Lots of things happened in between, from healt of teams ti different training possibilities.
But what ever direction they are choosing to go, something needs to happen and then they must act in that way....
Man, I sure hope the NBA comes back to decide a winner. It'll be a stain on LeBron's legacy if he doesn't get a chance to win a championship this season and say, ends up with 5 in total. We all know he's always going to be compared to Jordan so if he gets 6 plus goes to more NBA finals than him, that'll work in his favor.

The NBA doesn't yet have an official resume date but I've just read a breaking news on Twitter:
Tim Reynolds BREAKING: The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are engaged in exploratory conversations with Disney for a single-site return of NBA games in late July at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex -- for games, practices and housing.
I would pick the Clippers but giving Lebron rest and knowing he would be back in great shape, I like the Lakers. Its all about who’s staying ready. Lots of players are probably out of shape and there’s not enough time to get into playoff shape. I would think they would reduce the reg season games and start close to the playoffs but we’ll see.
It looks like mid-July is the time the season might come back.
