Bio-Dome 2.0? Cavs could participate in 2nd bubble

The NBA is considering adding a second bubble aka Bio-Dome in Chicago for the eight teams that are not participating in Orlando.

As if the original Bio-Dome plan was not going to have enough issues, the NBA decided to double down on this idea and consider adding a second bubble in Chicago. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the news Thursday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers would be one of the teams participating in this second Bio-Dome taking place in Chicago. This would provide the Cavs with an opportunity for some of their younger players such as Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, and Kevin Porter Jr. to continue their development. It would also give some others a chance to make an impression on the coaching staff after only having a limited time with JB Bickerstaff as their head coach.

As exciting as watching the Cavs play sooner rather than later is, this whole idea is full of issues. Who even knows if the original Bio-Dome idea even gets started? If there are issues down in Orlando, how can a second bubble in Chicago be justified?

This idea seems to have more sizzle than substance. Sure, it may provide some short term entertainment, but the quality will not be incredibly high. Remember, the teams participating are some of the worst in the league. These are the teams with the best chance to get the top pick in the upcoming draft. There is a reason they are not playing in Orlando.

Bio-Dome plan for NBA seems doomed

The NBA has a Bio-Dome type plan to resume their season down in Orlando and as time goes on it seems completely doomed.

The season is supposed to resume at the end of July with 22 teams participating all while essentially locked down in Bio-Dome type situation at Walt Disney World. Seems like a pretty solid way to continue their season and crown a champion. But there’s a problem. There has been a surge in COVID-19 cases in Florida which should be quite alarming.

The Orlando Pride had to withdraw from the NWSL Challenge cup due to players testing positive for COVID-19.

These players were in Orlando and tested positive, this seems problematic for a league looking to locate their isolated format down to Florida.

Adam Silver and the NBA can say whatever they want now about resuming the season, but the fact of the matter is it may not be safe. By the time the season is supposed to resume COVID cases could continue to rise which would put a premature end to their continued season plans. If the cases continue to spike a second lockdown period could occur in the state that seems to effortlessly thrive on chaos.

Not even Bud Macintosh and Doyle Johnson themselves would be able to make it through the chaos in Florida., even if they were to stumble upon another Bio-Dome for them to destroy. Only in the real world this Bio-Dome is Walt Disney World with Bud and Doyle being represented by COVID-19. We all know what happened in the movie, the Bio-Dome was destroyed. Bud and Doyle eventually revived the structure and thwarted an attempt by Dr. Noah Faulkner to blow up the Bio-Dome. Unfortunately there may not be happy ending for the NBA in Florida as the threat they are facing is not something that can be so easily defeated.
