Warriors announce their plan to support Chase Center employees…

Warriors PR @WarriorsPR

Warriors ownership, players and coaches to contribute $1 million to disaster relief fund for Chase Center employees

And weirdly, Zion has generously offered to cover salaries for Pelicans workers, but, uh, why just Zion?

You really can find out a lot on Google. https://t.co/wEljrTRZzk

Bleacher Report @BleacherReport

Zion Williamson is going to cover the salaries for Smoothie King Center workers for the next 30 days during the NBA hiatus https://t.co/TIxn3f9ZGJ

This is incredibly weak. Wes Edens and Marc Lasry are worth billions of dollars. Matching player donations is a copout and I hope this isn't Milwaukee’s plan to pay non-salaried employees

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Following the donation of $100,000 by @Giannis_An34 to the impacted Fiserv Forum staff, the Bucks organization is proud to match all Bucks player donations to part-time arena workers. https://t.co/BV02TGua0z

We all know it's just a few players, coaches and the owner. It's the best way to act in situations like this. What will most of those guys on minimum contracts donate?. I'm sure all the players donation came from the big 4 but it's better .. Giannis donated 100k, love donated 100k. I'm sure each of the warriors big 4 donated 100k or more.

The Players Union should have crafted a uniform response so that some players didn't look like d**ks. Don't see why players making over an arbitrary number - say $10M/year ($122K/game) - couldn't donate their salaries for any unplayed games. Or half their salaries. Something.
