NBA Entering 'Exploratory Conversations' Over Restarting Season At Walt Disney World In Late July
The NBA has entered "exploratory conversations" with Walt Disney Company over possibly restarting its season in late July at Walt Disney World.
"The NBA, in conjunction with the National Basketball Players Association, is engaged in exploratory conversations with The Walt Disney Company about restarting the 2019-20 NBA season in late July at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida as a single site for an NBA campus for games, practices and housing," said NBA spokesperson Mike Bass.
The NBA is still deciding as to what form the league will return, and sent out a survey to all 30 GMs on Friday.
The NBA has a board of governors call set for next Friday to provide additional details, timelines, and plans on how it will proceed with the season.
------------------------------
Looks like if it happens it will start from play off's, also this probably means next season will start Christmas time.
The "exploratory" conversations should've happened a month ago if Silver was serious about bringing NBA back. End of July timetable suggests to me that this all is just to show people "they are doing something". Silver and owners must have agreed to cancel the season already, and Silver probably getting heat from owners who do not want to pay players.
