I think a "loser's bracket" camp would be very useful for the kids on the team. There would be fewer teams in the bubble. Heck, you could have a east coast and west coast bubble. Plus, you only need maybe 2-3 weeks. That's much shorter than the Disneyworld playoffs.As much I'd like this, I don't see it happening. Putting together a summer league like this without the newest draft class would make it that much more worthless. The NBA is trying to be as responsible as possible with the bubble they are putting together. The resources to put together another bubble for the 8 worse teams without the draw of the newly drafted class playing probably wouldn't make financial sense.
The bubble they are making in Orlando puts teams in quarantine twice. Once in their home city then again in Orlando. This is why it's starting July 31st.
With how careful they are being, I think they will play part of the 2020-2021 season in a bubble to start with. It might be 2 locations instead of one. They seem they want to start next season on time to make sure they can get the players to play in Tokyo for the Olympics. I think they know how much of an international marketing exposure the Olympics is for the NBA and it can set them back on track financial.
