You hate to pump the breaks at a time when there is finally some positive news to be excited about amid this treacherous pandemic, but it should be pretty obvious to everyone that the real decisions are yet to come.
Reaching an agreement on a tournament format — which teams play are going to play which teams, where the cutoff line in the standings resides (i.e. the bottom seven are out) — and the timing of the draft and draft lottery is little more than the window dressing in the grand scheme of this unprecedented situation. Getting the PA on board in regards to the logistics, safety, and livability of the conditions required to actually hold a 24-team tournament in the two hub cities (to be identified), the clubs’ capacity to handle the great number of responsibilities the league has bestowed upon them in regards to medical equipment and personnel, testing and monitoring, and the plan for the handling of any positive tests — that’s the pith of the matter.
