The timetable going forward will be quick. The NBA Draft will be on November 18, with the free agency period starting right afterward.One of the main reasons the season is starting sooner than later is because of lost revenue. Due primarily to the coronavirus pandemic, which shut the league down in mid-March, the NBA made $1.5 billion less than it projected last season.ESPN is reporting that the 72-game schedule enabling the season to start in late December and finish before the Summer Olympics (which are scheduled from July 23 to Aug. 8), is “worth between $500 million and $1 billion in short- and long-term revenues to the league and the players.”With the quick turnaround, expect veteran players like Finals MVP LeBron James to heavily invest in load time management. Just this past week on HBO’s the shop, James and President Barack Obama joked about letting Anthony Davis do most of the heavy lifting in the early part of the season.Obama: "Let Anthony Davis do all the work, man." – LeBron: "That's what I got him for." pic.twitter.com/v5lMAjgclQ— Main Team (@MainTeamSports) October 31, 2020 Post Views: 64The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest PostsJason CordnerLatest posts by Jason Cordner (see all) Nike Executive Ann Hebert Leaves Company Following Reports Of Son’s Sneaker Flipping Business - March 2, 2021 Vistaprint, Boston Celtics, NAACP Announced Formation of Power Forward Grant For Small Minority Business - February 24, 2021 The Mamba Brand?
