The NBA was one of the first, if not the first, sport to stop playing games. So will they be one of the first to start playing again? Alot of people hope so.
The NBA will begin allowing their players to start working out in some sort of capacity om May 8. There will be plenty of precautions and restrictions. Just the fact that this is being allowed means basketball will be back soon. The question is how soon and at what capacity?
The NBA needs to come back, but in my opinion it needs to be a modified return. If was commissioner of the NBA this is how I would bring basketball back.
Now keep in mine this is just my idea and some kinks would have to be worked out but that holds true for every plan.
Once all teams are cleared to practice, weather it's in their own state or a neutral site, each team practices for a week than plays 3 games. Those would be considered practice games but they would count. You add that record to you regular season record and rank all 30 teams. This can be done in a two week time frame.
Then you pick a location, and have a March Madness style tournament. A single elimination tournament played everyday for 5 days straight.
You crown a champion and your season is over in three weeks and teams and players can prepare for next season.
This is how I finish the NBA season now it's up to the NBA to find a way to finish that will be acceptable to players and watchable to fans at the same time.
