One NBA staffer told me, “Oh, it will be tamperpalooza in Orlando! That’s for sure.” He wasn’t the only one to bring this up. As soon as the manual was released, this possibility popped up on the radar of every franchise. Teams want to know if there’s any way to prevent it in such a circumstance, or if they could maybe benefit from the blurring of norms. With so much time, in such close proximity, new bonds may form. Opposing players see one another sparingly in-season, given the grind of the NBA schedule and how extensive their commitments are within the chaos of an NBA arena when teams meet up. In the bubble, a lot of competing noise should fade out.
