The National Basketball Association (NBA) continues to develop a season extension plan that would satisfy most teams in the league.
Journalist Adrian Wojnarowski Announces that the main guidelines have already been established: the season should resume on July 31 and could continue until October 12 if 7 games are needed in the final series. 22 teams would play in the league in an unusual format.
The season is slated to continue in Orlando, where playoff barrier teams would meet in six wins. This means that the top 16 clubs, five additional Western Conference contenders (San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans) will extend the march, and this criterion is met in the East. only Washington Wizards.
Later, A. Wojnarowski added that due to the team fight in eighth place in the additional tournament. If the team in eighth place is separated from ninth by 4 or more wins, it will retain the place. If the difference is less, the team will join each other: it is true that the team in eighth position would need one victory, in ninth two.
In the Eastern Conference, the Orlando Magic (30/35) parted ways with the Washington Wizards (24/40), and in the West, the Memphis Grizzlies (32/33) led the Portland Trail Blazers (29/37), New Orleans Pelicans (28/36) and Sacramento Kings (28/36).
The final plan will be voted on Thursday, and Adam Silver has already approved it and sent it to the clubs. There is no doubt that it will be accepted.
Although such a plan is real, there is no shortage of people opposing the idea. There are fears that leaving some teams overboard could have a devastating effect on smaller market clubs and create different conditions in the long term.
By refusing to end the season, the NBA has significantly distorted the summer market. If the league season lasts longer, it may end later than the Euroleague will begin, so the movement of players between teams will be different than ever.
Each of the 22 teams will play eight regular season games in Orlando with the goal of sowing the playoffs, sources told ESPN.
