NBA season being cancelled and no champion being crowned looks to be an increasing possibility. I mean USA is getting worse and worse everyday for now, they are nowhere near the peak, even Italy is barely at the peak right now, they are very close or maybe already there but it will probably take another week of being like this for Italy at least to eventually start seeing a drop.
Moreover that is Italy, the nation with the worst situation, USA is still just at the start and even though there are medicines that are more helpful discovered, we are still going to see USA go worse and worse before we start to see it improve. It means at least May will be the "getting better" part and probably July or so will be when this is all over, I doubt NBA can come back that late.

Woah, you really have said it just yesterday. That's very much the solution as they have been into expenses as well but without coming in for the cash flow. NBA players have made that much and it's ok for them because everyone is in bad situation.
What if someone didn't agree of what they are asking?
What if someone didn't agree of what they are asking?
Well, that will be their problem since they are all in contract.
But here is the thing. They are all in NBA contract and if it is the management who will change something then it can happen.
I don't know about the law though. Perhaps they will also need the help of the players association so that players could sign an agreement.
A lot of money will be at stake here. They don't want their own employer which is NBA to go bankrupt or else they will lose their own jobs as a basketball player.
All of us want to save ourselves from getting bankrupt specially at this kind of time.
We are spending more without any money getting in.
Some NBA players might feel that kind of emotion now. Those who aren't even in millions per contract, they will need the money too.
This is not something that will cut salaries for not just millions of dollars contracts like Curry and Lebron.
Everyone will be affected by it. They will need to consider that.
hey! hey! hey!, what are you guys are talking? you should read the entire article so you'll not be fooled.... people this is an April fools article.
This is the link right?
now way the Lakers will be champ,.. the season will be cancelled means season will end and no winner.
here's some screenshot for you from the article.
Lol! They believe on fake news how could the lakers win for that situation? for sure the other team will file a protest since its unfair decision to be made if they implement it and good thing there is a clarification regarding to that post so that it couldn't mislead for those people who didn't know the situation these days.
Someone quoted me and cut it.
Here. I put in bold. Look at the end. When did someone tell you Happy March or Happy May?
Holy crap!

https://clutchpoints.com/nba-bylaw-states-champion-will-be-crowned-via-best-record-if-season-is-cancelled/I didn't even have the slightest thought that there is such a rule.
But the image looks wrong which is the Lakers holding the trophy.
It will be the Bucks.

To be clear, the rule states that the team that will be crowned as champions will be the team with the best record for the current calendar year. The Milwaukee Bucks may lead the NBA with a 53-12 record on the season, but it is actually the Lakers who have the best record since January. Milwaukee currently holds a 24-7 record in 2020, while L.A. stands at 24-6. This would mean that the Lakers will be crowned as the 2019-20 champions, handing LeBron his fourth NBA title in his career.
Happy April!Who would bump at that kind of date? It is already April 5 guys.
Then someone tries to be a hero.
Oh and then someone merited the hero.
Haha, I guess it is a success of fooling you guys.
But c'mon its way too far to be fooled now.
You made me laugh, but I hope next time do it on April 1.

That is not a fake news as the author of the article put a message in the end that it's april fools.
Well, for some who are not reading the whole information, they might come with the conclusion that Lakers did really win, but April fools is for everyone.
That's why its fake because it's created intended for public annoyance, It scattered everywhere and many people actually believe that it was true since I saw in social media sites that there are people congratulating the lakers already
.Anyways lets hope the whole season will not be cancelled and the virus will be controlled by the authority since its really exciting to see bucks and lakers will face in finals.

If this is not some fake news, why I didn't get any further news other than this, I mean too early to this kind theis strange rule to crowned who will become the Champion team this season. this is now how it should be, let's just wait for another months because we wouldn't know what would be the outcome of this pandemic after a month. let's just hope that'll disappear and we can continue watching the real game in the court.

Adam Silver could come out tomorrow and say that they no longer have a rule like that and league will be cancelled and no championship will be rewarded to anyone and everyone would be forced to accept honestly. Plus, I doubt any team would want to win a championship like that, it would be basically humiliating to have a ring this way.

@Viscore, nice find mate, that was just a joke, someone told me that Lakers were the champion during the April fools day, but I realize what day it was.
April fools is still not over here.

They are still making ways to play some ball.
Yeah, it will be fun. As long as they are far away from each other.

I guess we have something to see soon, this would entertain the fun but not making money for them. So with this, since they are not thinking of the season anymore, I think we can assume that they are really stopping the season, waiting for the announcement now
Let's go back to some good news and fun despite all the the problem against the virus and the finance of NBA.

As Curry narrated, he distributes the material once the teacher is done with their lecture. After that, Steph hilariously shared that Riley told her mom that dad is a three-star teacher. The three-time champion jokingly ranted about how his daughter treats him after investing a lot into her future.

The NBA and ESPN are working on televising a H-O-R-S-E competition involving several high-profile players, sources say. Players would shoot in isolation – presumably in home gyms – and match shots against competitors. Details are still being finalized.

Given the current situation, big people behind NBA starting from team owners to players surely will not have a problem with contract adjustments. Soon, they will rise up again once the situation got back to normal so a bit of sacrifice is necessary at these times.
They have to understand each other, team owners and the players both suffers on this pandemic, in short they both lose money.
For players, I thought they only lose the opportunity to earn when they got suspended, injured and after no one will pick them, and I'm sure this kind of situation is something new, they haven't experience it in their life so they are also facing some problem now, at least some of them.
We know that NBA players making big money, but if they don't know how to save on this kind of situation, then they are struggling and might be complaining now, but at the end of the day they'll realize it's a global pandemic that stop most of the sporting events.
Keeping everything in good shape, both sides needs to agree and make a good deal to both survive this ongoing virus.

These businessmen will not allow that they will lose money, they are in the business for a very long time, NBA players are making millions but they are making more, so there's always an adjustment of the current contract when the season will be cancelled.
I'm sure the discussion of how to work for that is now taking place. NBA team owners already anticipated that something like that will happen. And it's now the time they need to take some action. After all, all businesses experienced the same.

Asking for a 50% cut is actually quite reasonable, I understand that players played 60 games and not half like 41 games but at the same time this is asked from only the players and nobody else, there are a lot of people working in NBA and not just players, from high end stuff like coaches for example, to lower end like beer stand dudes who work hourly, does it really make sense to ask those people to take a cut?
You can ask it from players who are getting paid millions, you can also ask from staff at most but even when we are talking about staff I think head coaches are the only ones, when you go lower like scouts or something they are not really making all that much neither, certainly a good job but not all that high end to give up 50% of their income. I hope they will find a middle ground between 25% and 50% and not really destroy the salary cap while doing so.

The management would ask for cooperation and that would be very easy for all of them. This is all about cooperation and understanding, the players who are in contract can easily understand the situation. They knew it that no money is coming inside the association and they will be the first one to be hit by the effect of it. The contract can be adjusted and they might apply the common exception that in every rule, it can be applied.A lot of money will be at stake here.

Cooperation is the best solution and not anything else, both parties should bring good desire to solve this concern.

We can actually make it simple, we can use simple analysis here.
When the business is not making money, there is no need to pay the employees which are the players, and I believe the law within the NBA should be favorable to the owner and the management. with the season being cancelled, players should not receive what they are expected to, since they will also not gonna play.
These businessmen will not allow that they will lose money, they are in the business for a very long time, NBA players are making millions but they are making more, so there's always an adjustment of the current contract when the season will be cancelled.
And that will be a lot of money to cut.
The playoffs and the Finals is where they got a lot of attention.
Pay per view, tickets and local channels trying to buy even just 1 game to gain popularity with their local watchers.
Then there is large pile of advertisements that would want even just 5 seconds of the streaming break.
They can manage it but they will lose a lot.
I remember last time they want to cut the number of games because they are also losing money.
Something like the lockout.
