Dec. 22 start:
– Dec. 1 training camps begin for three weeks
– Three-to-four preseason games
– 72-game regular season
– 14 back-to-back games per team
– 25 percent reduction in travel
– All-Star break for six days in early March
– Regular season ends around May 16
– Play-in tournament for the Nos. 7-10 seeds in the Eastern and Western Conference
– Playoffs begin around May 22
– Finals finish around July 22
Jan. 18 start:
– Camp opens on Dec. 28, for three weeks
– Three-to-four preseason games
– 60-game regular season
– 24 back-to-back games per team
– 25 percent reduction in travel

– Regular season ends in June

The NBA and NBPA hope to maintain a salary cap and tax of $109 million and $132 million, respectively, as The Athletic has reported.
Sources say the NBA is proposing to keep the cap and tax flat so more debt is not incurred, but the NBPA is hoping for an increase, sources said.
In addition, a significant portion of the 25-percent salary withholding of player contracts in May will be returned to every player.

As we get closer to free agency, teams monitoring the power forward market believe that Christian Wood remains on the Knicks’ radar. One team with interest in Wood expects the 25-year-old to be a top target for New York this offseason.

Landlord Joe Moinian wants a slam-dunk win in his bitter battle with the NBA over unpaid rent at the league’s theme store at 545 Fifth Ave. He’s asking Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Debra James to rule on the case without a jury trial, claiming that the NBA doesn’t have a long leg to stand on
Moinian first sued NBA Media Ventures in May for $1.25 million based on annual rent of $7,500,000. The league claimed the government-ordered shutdown was a “casualty” which should get it off the hook on rent or provide an abatement. Moinian countered that “casualty” means “physical destruction” of property, not loss of business due to a government shutdown.

I guess they betting on Wiggins (if he still there) will finally use that athletic ability and wingspan to become a passable defender or they could actually draft a solid wing defender.
It's actually looking like a solid draft for wing players. Not any star type guys really, but some players who will stick around due to being 3&D players.

NBA Hall of Famer and former Auburn star Charles Barkley is donating $1 million to Tuskegee University. He had not yet informed university president Lily McNair of the donation. In May 2018, McNair became Tuskegee’s eighth president and the first woman to hold the position. The gift is Barkley’s fifth major donation to a historically black college.

Like Hayward, DeRozan has a lucrative player option ($27.7 million) that he almost certainly pick up. Unlike Hayward, there really isn’t even a conversation to have with his team about opting out to sign a longer-term deal. The Spurs are rebuilding and DeRozan is 31, so a more likely scenario is a trade after he opts into the deal.

Ryen Russillo: I’ve heard Gordon Hayward does want out, but I don’t know if he’s gonna get the money. He’s not opting out of that huge number unless he knows he’s getting the deal.
