They not trying to miss that Xmas money

Seems mad soon
You gotta think about it though. A normal offseason is 3.5-5.5 months depending on when the team's season ended.
If they start on Christmas and start training camp earlier in December, 8 teams (ATL/CHA/CHI/CLE/DET/GS/MIN/NY) would have had 8.5 months off. The 6 teams that were in the bubble but didn't make the playoffs (MEM/NO/PHO/SAC/SA/WAS) would have 3.5 off. The 8 teams that went out 1st round would've had 3. The 4 that lost in the 2nd round got 2.5.
And also let's account for the fact that all 22 teams in the bubble were also off for 3 months between the suspension of the season and the start of training camp to get ready for the restart.
The teams that get the short end of stick are really the Lakers & Heat, and to an extent the Celtics & Nuggets. But it is what it is
This is a LeBron team though breh, gelling isn't that serious to him. Hell, they just won a championship while pretty much being thrown together last offseason and none of the major key pieces even being long term Lakers (Kuzma being the closest), they likely feel they can win a title with whoever you put around Bron and AD.

True. That’s what I was thinking. Lakers and Heat just got finished lol. Them nikkas only getting a little less than 2 months break before they back to training early DecemberYou gotta think about it though. A normal offseason is 3.5-5.5 months depending on when the team's season ended.

Is it really though?
8 teams haven't even played a game since MARCH. The majority of the league haven't played since the middle of the summer.

Starting the season in 2020 is pretty much out of the question since the league has terms in place where it must give 8 weeks advance notice of when it plans to start training camp

Still see them starting on MLK Day
Agree. This seems more realistic than Christmas Day
The draft isn’t until the end of November. Then after that they would still have to do free agency and at least a couple weeks of training camp. Can’t see them cramming all that in basically one month
True but they’ve done similar before. The 2011 lockout ended Thanksgiving week and they had free agency & training camp in less than a month to start the season on Christmas. Though the draft had already happened months prior.
They're going to start it on MLK Weekend... maybe even the week or two before.
They cannot have the NBA Finals in August or September
I think that would be dependent on what the schedule format is.
Silver has made it clear many times now that they want to play all 82 instead of a reduced schedule. So with that mind, I can’t see how they avoid an August/September Finals if they were to start in January.
These rookies are fukked
