I haven’t followed it that closely but if they were considering a move that would permanently pit the NBA playoffs against football/MLB postseason they were fricking insane and stupid. They currently have the late spring/early summer window all to themselves for their postseason, why would you ever consider abandoning that

Not to mention the attention the NBA offseason gets mid summer with very little else going on. And you’re going to shift that to the fall with football going on? The business sense of those involved should be seriously questioned if this was considered

I think the hope, amongst fans, was start on or around Christmas and end in mid August right as football season starts

There really is no legitimate movement inside the league for that to happen though and silver has said as much, for a multitude of reasons. Like you said, they dominate discussion in July and I doubt they want to give that up

Have you been in a coma for the last seven months and not been aware that there is a pandemic going on? There was no way the NBA could have had a postseason this year without it cutting into the NFL season.
