    I think you could start back up on June 20th and have game 7 of the Finals no later than August 31st.

    If that were the case, what would the timeline for the draft, free agency, "summer league", training camp, and preseason look like?

    I'm real curious what the league/players are going to do to maximize basketball related income so it doesn't impact their salaries. This season and next season that is.

    whatever they do, I bet there’s gonna be big injury problems next season if they do try and slam it all in like that

    Shift the league calendar permanently. Draft labor day weekend. Free agency starts September 15. "Fall league" starts on the equinox. Players are off through October/November. Training camp begins after Thanksgiving. Preseason in December. Opening Day on Christmas. Season runs Christmas to...basically when schools get out (2nd week of June).

    Disagree.

    You have 3 months off from mid-March to mid-June

    Teams that miss the playoffs will have 3 months off between mid-July and mid-October

    Finals teams would have almost 1.5 months off (and could load manage during preseason and to start the following season)

    All but two teams would have 5 out of 7 months off before the start of next season.

    The draft and FA would be pushed to the fall. Summer league would be cancled.

    They're millionaires...not like they are hurting

    If anyone is sick and you can't get tested for the coronavirus, you can still get tested for the flu if you want to.

    I did. It did come back negative but it's still a doozy of whatever it is.
