i appreciate it. >> were you on that call with adam silver? >> yes, i was. it was around 6:00 p.m. eastern time. >> how confident do you feel after that call about the nba season this year? >> i mean, i'll be honest with you guys. i think what silver was saying if it's healthy and safe to go they want to open up the season, but i think it will be without the fans because they do not want to risk their fans health, but all they care about they just need more testing for all the players if they want to ope. adam silver was talking about -- i think the latest they're going to make a decision is going to be mid june. and even if the season is cancelled, they want to still want to open up the practice facilities. they want to move to one or two cities, possibly orlando or vegas to host the whole nba. cities are calling in the nba and want to host the nba players. they're thinking about orlando. i think the one note that got me is whatever nba decides, players have to agree with, and right now where we're at. >> i'm talking to my teammates and all the players on the league. they're itchi

it today adam silver held a conference call with players. call he expressed a desire to finish out the season. the emphasize no decision will be made until next month. if they do return, all games will be played in one or two cities with loss vegas and orlando being the likely candidates. also, no fans in attendance, not just this season but quite possibly next season as well, which will mean a 40% loss in revenue for the mba. you are looking at the stadium a new home of the loss vegas raiders. with the nfl schedule announced yesterday is the hottest ticket going. the average ticket price for a raiders game is currently $547. that's more than $200 pricier than the second highest average price which belongs to the dallas cowboys. will fans even be allowed when and if there is a season. fred warner hope so, he's a guy that feeds off the energy. >> it would be different for sure. i think we have one of the best fan bases. is huge for the franchise. it was awesome to have them come out to every game and cheer for us. i don't know what the future

and from everything that we've seen thus far from michelle roberts and adam silver is that they are beingemely cautious, providing accurate information, and i would say proceeding with extreme caution. as an executive, i would want to make sure that the players are taken care of from a travel standpoint, making sure their families are taken care of. i would probably go even one step further to see if there's been any covid in any of the family members that are coming to potentially orlando or las vegas. and everything would be around safety and health. those are the things i would look for as a player and an executive. >> so isaiah, obviously health being paramount. the nba says the orlando facility would be for games, practice, and housing. i know a couple of players did test positive for covid. my question would be how much freedom would you give them? should they be existing in a bubble? how strict should they be in keeping those players in line? >> i think the keyword you just said is the bubble. when we think of bubble, we think of the playing facilities that they're going to be in.

commissioner adam silver will make a decision very soon.n the bleacher report. >> if all goes well, we could potentially have the nba and major league baseball both back on tof by the end of july. the athletic reporting that they sent a memo saying the players and the nba, they want to resume the regular season and have the playoffs. commissioner adam silver, meanwhile, held a conference call with the board of governors yesterday. according to espn, adrian woej now ski say the discussions focused on the health and safety concerns. a big step is getting everyone comfortable with the idea that the league would not shut back down if one person tests positive for covid-19. how many positive tests would shut down the league again? that's being discussed. according to woj, and commissioner silver, they will make a decision on restarting the season. cnn reached out to the nba and the union about these conversations but has not heard back. the one site idea seems to be the likely scenario for the return. according to woj, it's on walt disney world

we started with adam silver.nd the thing that strikes me, brooke, look, if i can go back to march 12th. the night after the nba suspended play, we did a show in the atlanta studio minus charles, who was in his hotel room, because he had just been tested. you know it turned out he tested negative. but on that night, there were 40 deaths in the united states on march 12th as i spoke with adam silver that night. and now what are we, 73, 74,000? and it hasn't been even two months since then. and i talked to adam in the first installment of the nba together. i said, how much more do you know now than that night that we talked? he said not all that much. we're all in that way. trying to read what the medical experts are telling us. what will be the safe way to try to come back and start, restart sports again? we all want to see it. i mean, make no mistake. >> of course, we do. i need to jump in. >> ve we have to be so careful. >> the #is nbatogether. ernie johnson thank you, thank you all for being here.
