The NBA is still on hold, and there is no precise information about what will happen in the future with the best basketball league in the world.
Since March, and the moment when all stopped, many things happened, but neither of them gave some hints about the league’s next steps. Recently we saw that the draft lottery and the combine were postponed, and the same seems inevitable for the NBA draft. According to World Sports Network, the season was almost lost at a certain point, when the majority of executives believed that there wouldn’t be conditions for it to end properly. However, it is different now, and there is a reasonable optimism among all the key figures within the NBA when it comes to finishing the campaign.
Commissioner Adam Silver stated that the league has several possible scenarios on how to handle the situation, and each one of them is conditioned with different factors. Yet, those factors are not in the NBA’s reach, and the league can’t do anything about it but to wait. Almost all scenarios include the ending of the season. There are, of course, different ways for doing so, and this is the most intriguing topic for discussion among the NBA fans.
What determines which plan would be used is time. The main problem for Commissioner Silver and the task force around him is the period between now and the moment of termination of the pandemics. Why is that? The NBA needs to take care of multiple things. One of them is the start of the next season. Some would say that there isn’t a problem with it because the 2020/21 season could be extended a little bit, and everything would go back to normal. Now that would be a good idea if it weren’t for the Olympic Games,
