The 2020 NBA free agency period is in danger of getting postponed, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Because of the uncertainty about next season’s projected league revenues, the delay on the Oct. 18 start of free agency would give the NBA and NBPA a better ability to formulate the parameters of the 2020-2021 salary cap and luxury tax thresholds, per Woj.

“In team meetings and conversations at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, the National Basketball Players Association has been preparing its membership for the likelihood that the start of free agency in mid-October could be pushed back several weeks, sources told ESPN.

“NBPA executive director Michele Roberts has been publicly and privately skeptical that the league will start next season on its tentative opening night of Dec. 1. Sources said the union has privately suggested to players that the season could start sometime later that month — or even in January or February.

“Among many teams, there is interest in connecting the mid-October draft and free-agency periods so that they could be delayed together, sources said. So far, the NBA and NBPA have been waiting for the results of financial audits on 2019-20 revenues before those discussions can start to become detailed and serious, sources said.”

The 2020-21 season is expected to start in January, February or March 2021. The campaign could also take place in a bubble since the Disney bubble has worked very well for the NBA.

The 2020 NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on Oct. 16. The last possible date for the 2020 Finals is Oct. 13 at Walt Disney World.

There aren’t too many star players hitting the open market this summer. Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis can become an unrestricted free agent once he declines his 2020-21 player option with the Lakers. However, the expectation is that the Chicago native will re-sign with the Lakers.
