2019-20 Around the NBA: Archived

I might have missed this, but do we know yet how the pandemic is affecting revenue or the cap? 

I mean, there actually might be some teams who NEED to reduce salary, depending on how that shakes out.

Nothing concrete yet. But it's assumed that the future cap estimations has to be reduced from major loss of revenue from COVID and even the China debacle. 

The one plan I have heard bounced around the Bill Simmons Podcast is that they'll smooth out the cap the next 3 years, keeping it at 109 instead of drastically reducing it and then plan to pay off the losses with revenue from future seasons when fans can hopefully be present. 

Which doesn't sound too bad to me.
