We'll certainly know a lot more once the NBA starts

I was thinking about this the other day, I think you and I are closer on this than we perceive. The truth is, no one knows exactly how this will play out. As negatively as I've viewed this whole thing, I agree, it's worth a shot and planning to move forward is worth it. At some point, though, after enough data points have been gathered, someone will have to make a decision to forge ahead or shut it down. NCAA basketball did that, and that involved their Tournament, the biggest money maker for the NCAA! The biggest problem becomes, what to do when there are positive tests during camp or the season, and we have to be realistic that there will be, experts agree that even the NBA's bubble won't be immune. Teams will have to decide on their own and those decisions will greatly affect the ultimate season outcome.

All this being said, I don't think there's any way possible that fans will be involved in the ultimate decision. That opens a pandora's box that would threaten far too many that goes beyond just a couple hundred people and that's not acceptable to anyone.
