That would mean finishing 2020-21 no later than July while keeping in mind USA Basketball’s desire to send the best American NBA players to the Tokyo Olympics (July 23-Aug. 8) next summer.While starting next season in December is preferable, it might not be realistic considering the two Finals participants will play into October.Next season will require another set of sacrifices from teams and players, including financial.Teams and players took a financial hit this season and that was with fans at games creating ticket and in-game revenue for about three-quarters of the season.
