Ric discusses what agents and NBA executives have told him about the practice of pre-determining where a player will be selected in the draft under the restraints of Covid-19 protocol. Also discussed is the approach to players and personnel testing positive in overseas leagues currently playing and whether the NBA could adopt the same approach. Last topic: NBA players' activism around the recent election -- how much credit they deserve for the outcome and whether or not the NBA should continue to serve as a direct platform for player causes.
