Impossible. At least for a whole season. The only way the bubble would work if they did the same thing again- only a few weeks and a limited number of teams. Having 30 teams and 60+ games in the bubble is just not feasible.

Yeah last year's plan won't work here.
1) Last year they trimmed off 8 teams (22 vs. 30) and even then teams had to play at 11am when people were at work. No way you can just trim 8 teams again.
2) PLayers would not agree to play for 60-65 games in the bubble. The three-month bubble was bad enough on players. They won't go back to the bubble again for even 30 games when it means they can't see their wives and kids (and in the case of Harden and Lou Williams-- their favorite stripper)
3) Players are generally not happy. They've lost 40% of the value of their 2020-2021 salary already through escrow on lost revenue. If they cancel the season, then they lose closer to 90-95%.
Don't know if there is a good answer to this.
