All good questions...Thought you were giving me the answers!It is going to be must watch for those who love this league. How do owners and players come together on a way to address revenue shortfall? What does the league do to reverse diminishing viewership? Does the league do anything to discourage player activism at the arenas? What teams will challenge for a title next year? Who will coach James Hardin? The list goes on.
You are correct. There definitely will be no basketball until 2021, but there will be good drama. What team will actually dare draft a Ball brother number one in the draft? At least the next Ball brother signed with Puma, rather than his dad’s ”shoe” company.Probably have to name this one the NBA 2021-2021 thread I’m not expecting basketball before the start of the new year
Free agency starts on 10/18 and the NBA Draft is 11/18. No rest for the weary, I’m sure the league office and team front offices are putting in long hours for the upcoming season and to address the many obstacles today’s sports franchises are facing.
Happy it’s coming early and we’re getting nearly a full season, but disappointed it looks like we’re not going to have fans as quickly as I hoped.Reports are coming out that the season will begin December 22 and will include 72 games.

Its going to the right guy as far as not moving the team, etc.
That would make the $1.7B for a franchise in Utah a curious investment.I thought the league folded?
Despite no championships, the Jazz have been a very successful franchise. And it's great to see a lifelong fan purchase the team.
I was shocked when I saw the news about the Jazz sale. The new owner is 40 years old and sold his company in 2018 for a reported $8 billion. The Miller family had owned the Jazz for 35 years. They own a string of car dealerships, movie theaters and other assets. I really wonder if this was brought on in large part because of the tremendous hit in cash flow that the family businesses must be enduring with movie theaters being closed and a good part of the arena-generated NBA revenue lost for last year and no guarante
The new owner will be the youngest in the NBA. He appears to be flush with cash and is emotionally invested to keeping the franchise in Salt Lake City. I am breathing a sigh of relief. I would have been depressed to lose this team from our local market.
The Miller family is retaining a minority interest. It is unknown what percentage. However, to sell less than 100% of the franchise for upwards of $1.7 B in a market the size of Salt Lake City tells us that NBA franchises have retained great value, despite the current challenges and headwinds.
Good question. I know that the family had announced that the team had been put into a legacy trust, which restricted its sale. I think the team was owned by a family business entity, so I would be surprised if there were estate issues, but I really don’t know.I wonder if estate tax issues have an effect also. I seem to recall them having an effect where the family has attempted to keep ownership in the family.
Other interesting developments include players pushing back on a December 22 start date.
