Around the NBA Finals, Adam Silver said that in the fall, he and the board of governors would discuss league expansion. However, Silver has decided to back away from that possibility.

According to the man himself, they didn’t believe they were ready yet, and there was an overwhelming sense of the idea’s lack of popularity.

“There was not a lot of discussion in this meeting about expansion, but only largely not for lack of interest, it was that we had said to them that we’re not quite ready,” said Silver during his press conference on Tuesday.

After the 62-year-old said that, he offered reassurance by saying they would reconvene to discuss this again later in the season.

“But it was something that we told our Board we plan to address this season, and we’re not quite ready yet. But I think there’s certainly interest in the process, and I think that we’re not there yet in terms of having made any specific decisions about markets or even frankly to expand.”

Silver would continue to go into detail by saying it’s harder than what people think it is for expansion and how it impacts deals, negotiations, and everything else involved.

“I know I’ve said this before, I think over time organizations should grow. It is appropriate. But it gets a bit complicated in terms of selling equity in the league, what that means for the existing television relationships, et cetera. What we’ve told interested parties is thank you for your interest, we’ll be back to you. And that’s certainly the case in Seattle, as well.”

Approval of December 22nd start expected to happen!

Approval of December 22nd start expected to happen! The NBA’s Board of Governors and Players’ Association will be meeting on several meetings; which potentially allow the December 22nd start date for the next NBA Season.

The NBPA will be taking a formal vote on this start date, but it is most likely happening. The final decision is supposed to happen by this week, while Adam Silver and the Board of Governors will be waiting for the final result.

Urgency and quickness are on the minds of everyone working with the NBA, why? Because they want to kick things off fast and in the right direction due to the fact that the NBA will be holding the NBA Draft on the 18th. Plus, free agency and training camps are looking to begin December 1st. Once the agreement is settled on, the league will open shop for trades to happen before the NBA Draft.

Bad news!

Recently, the NBA has been stating a lot that they will be losing tons of money. This is due to the fact that last season had huge disappointments because there were no fans, a bubble was put into place, and everything was out of sorts with viewership and tv ratings. That being said, the league did lose over 1.5 billion dollars last season.

There is some good news!

revenues for the league and for their players is projecting to be around 500 million and a billion dollars. This means that this majority of money being made will be coming from short and long-term revenues.

COVID-19 issues!

Whether people are just hearing this now or have been hearing this a while ago; the NBA is not planning on having fans come to their stadiums/arenas. Because most cities the NBA has locations in do not allow crowds of more than 500 people. You can also bank on that the NBA won’t be doing anything with having fans in their seats, how? Well, with this ‘second wave’ of COVID-19 they have little to no confidence in them having a chance of bringing fans in.
