More reporters/NBA insiders in the last few days (Simmons, Zach Lowe, KOC, Shams) are all picking up the same news below on the upcoming season: - Silver and the League office is currently presenting their plans to TV partners this week to get buy in on dates/process
- The details point to the League aiming for a Feb. 1 start at the latest to be completely done with the season and playoffs before the NFL season kicks off (obvious reason here being the Finals ratings for LAL-MIA were the worst since 1988 and were down 57% from last year, and they don’t want to go head to head against that next Finals).
- The 2020-21 season would be shortened to 70-72 games to hit TV contract minimums and allow easier bunching of games/mini 24 game bubbles if needed
- Fans would be permitted based on alignment with local and/or state government ordinances
- A playoff bubble may be implemented, but the reporting indicates the NBAPA would prefer to avoid that
- The 2021-22 season would be back to normal schedule, with a mid November 2021 start

More cap news this morning, and it’s not great. The NBA has had its BRI audits completed, and they have a confirmed (per NBC— interesting outlet to get that scoop) decline in revenue of $1.5 Billion from the previous year. While NBC said the discussions have focused on trying to keep the cap flat at $109 MM, the loss in revenue may be too big to bridge with escrow and other accounting tricks. Their report indicates teams are readying for the cap to drop anywhere from $4-12 MM depending on how machinations are applied.

Hey people, sorry for my absence lately Ian Noble just one question, what are the chances of us finishing the 1st round before the Free Agency period starts? Feel like 2nd revelant is a bit irrelevant since you don't expect those players to play a big role on your team, but 1st round obviously matters. |

Feel like 2nd revelant is a bit irrelevant since you don't expect those players to play a big role on your team, but 1st round obviously matters. Using last year's Draft as an example (https://dynasty5ive.proboards.com/thread/13691/2019-rookie-draft?page=1) it took us 10 days to finish the 1st Round. So although the start of OSFA coincides with the 1st Round still in progress it's not by a great deal, a week I suppose. This year could be different though, it's still not 100% clear when the Draft or OSFA will start. |

Apparently teams are being told the cap won't drop below $109 million. I'm not sure sure how they've done this financially. It seems unlikely the owners would agree to take the full financial hit from covid. Maybe whatever the players get now to keep the cap flat will be paid back to the owners in future years to keep 50/50 split over the long term? Who knows. It looks like we might avoid the chaos of a big drop in the cap though, sorry Andrei Kirilenko . |

It looks like we might avoid the chaos of a big drop in the cap though, sorry Andrei Kirilenko . This compared to that BRI revenue hit feels like the NBAPA and NBA agreed to some steep escrow percentages to get that cap figure flat. I’ve read that players though are pushing back against a December start even as rights broadcasters— ESPN and TNT chief among them— stating they can’t have a repeat of the ECF/WCF/Finals numbers ratings-wise next year. Will be interesting to see which side gives in— the NBAPA on the start, or TV rights holders on the ratings risk. |

I'm surprised revenue was only down 10%. The anticipated 40% drop if there are no fans next season is the big number though. Covid obviously isn't going away until a vaccine is made and fully distributed, which is like another 9-12 months at least. So best case scenario they can have socially distanced fans, which means what? Arenas at 20-25% capacity? Seems like the league is in for like a 25% drop in revenue at a minimum.

I will be shocked if the League can keep the cap at $109 MM following next season; they were down 10% to your point and that was WITH FANS for about 65-70 games per team. No fans at all for a whole 72 game season plus playoffs would be a very steep bridge to cross on escrow and other tricks

Interesting 2020-2021 schedule curveball emerging: NBA stars don’t want to start next season till MLK Day at the earliest, whereas rank and file want to get most games possible for salary purposes. If the stars win out and the League starts MLK Day, the projections are $500-650 MM less in revenue and a 50 game season similar to the ‘99 lockout year as opposed to 72 games due to TV partners drawing a hard line with the NBA that 1) the season can’t go past third week in July and 2) they will not honor the payouts if the League asks for a stoppage for the Olympics.
So stars and the NBAPA will likely have to choose between softening the financial impact or getting an extra four weeks of rest.

Updating the original thread: 2020 Off Season Free Agency (NBA: close to Dec 1st)D5: close to Dec 1st 2020/21 Season StartNBA: December 22nd
D5: TBC NBA OSFA is expected to start as soon as possible. Sometime around December 1st according to Woj OSFA usually takes longer than a month here at D5, so whilst the NBA plans to start the season just before Christmas we will take a little longer whilst we sort out all the big off season jobs (the biggest things usually being 1. OSFA negotiating processes, 2. Walt creating 30+ rookies from nothing and 3. Me researching/writing the Executive of the Year thread). |

Thanks for keeping on top of these updates so quickly GG
November 20th gives us just only 9 days for everyone to pick up their TOs, BRs etc. That's not enough time.
I think we should try to start OSFA the weekend after: Saturday 28th November as the deadline date for POs, TOs, BRs, signing 2nd rounders and the start of OSFA.
Anybody have any major disagreements with 28th November?
