    If they don't start until mid-June then they would've had over 3 months off and all but a few teams wouldn't have deep playoff runs. I don't think that would be an issue.

    Alright, let’s say it starts Mid-late June.

    Typically, between June 2020 and April 2021 they’d play 82 games.

    Now they’ll play 98 games + playoffs.

    Playoffs could start August. Champ in September.

    Off for a couple weeks then training camp...

    then pre-season

    them another 82 + playoffs.

    The issue is them having virtually no recovery period between the playoffs and the next season starting.

    this assumes they make up the games, don’t just cancel the season, and don’t delay the start of next season.

    They’re essentially giving them their off-season now in order to make them play 100+ games in a shorter time period, which doesn’t bode well for injuries, in my opinion.

    Yeah, they get to rest now.

    But they have to show up for training camp so I’m not sure where mid October comes in to play, so I’d say 2 months off if you’re a non-playoff team.

    A finals team could very likely have a month off before training camp.

    They usually get 3.

    Also, training camp ain’t no walk in the park. It’s a fucking grind. So it’s not like they can just sit it out and not integrate new players and stuff.

    Like I said in my previous post though, they’re gonna play 116+ games between June (more realistically July) 2020 and April 2021 if they’re a finals team. Then playoffs for next year on top of that.

    This number would usually be 82, in the exact same time span.

    There’s no way they can stick with the league calendar in my opinion because of this.

    In my opinion that’s like “I’m gonna take a month off from the gym, but then when I come back I’m going to go every day non stop and skip my rest days because I got rest the month before”

    doesn’t work like that; in my opinion.

    I can't think of anything bad for me personally for a later season. For those going to the games the days will get progressively longer and at some point warmer (anyone know when that happens in Portland? I would guess sometime in January or early February?).

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My preferred timeline:

    March 12 - June 15: off-season

    Mid-June: Draft

    Mid-June: Start of FA

    End of June: Start of NBA playoffs

    Mid-August: NBA Finals

    End of August: Summer/Fall League

    Mid-October: Training Camp Opens

    End of October: Start of NBA season

    And we're back basically on normal schedule. Easy!

    Anyone think it could help "Portland perception" if they had games here in the summer when the weather is nice? Seems like it might make FA's think hey it's not so bad, and they can do whatever they want in the off-season. During the season they would "live" in a warm but not scorching hot environment.

    Corona virus will be the next James Bond; it already has a license to kill.

    It likes its quarantini “shaken, not stirred”, hence the fever and chills.

    There are people who've never watched "The Wire". I'm one of them. But I also have Google, so it wasn't hard to figure out.

    I don't see it happening this season. With the way this is going and the lack of control with regards to spreading I think it's already too late to try to control it. By the time they're ready to resume, there will hardly be any time to prep before next season. I think they'll call it.

    Good thing too, cuz we weren't making the playoffs.
