It’s going to be very interesting to see how the schedule for the NBA moves forward. With the draft being held in October, when will the next season even begin?
This is such a disaster on every level that it’s hard for me to even put into words how bad it’s going to be for the NBA to figure out moving forward.
Does the schedule shift to the season starting in December? Does it start in January? Does anyone have any idea at all?

I almost think at this point that it’d be for the best if the league didn’t return and we just reset going into the next season.
I simply don’t see how this ends well, but maybe Adam Silver has a solid idea of what he’s doing. I honestly don’t have a clue.

What I do know is that if the NBA finds itself competing with the NFL and college football for ratings, then it’s cooked.
We’ll see how it shakes out, but I’m not optimistic at all.
