Best guess from here: Maybe 7-10 days to finish CBA, then a week of free agency and a week of training camps. 66-game season starts 12/25


Should be a fun December guys. Imagine the overload of off seasons talk that's going to get jammed into a couple of weeks.

Yes;

Howard Beck on twitter:Also, to be clear: Agreement is on main framework of deal. All the B-list items (drug testing, DLeague, etc) still need to be negotiated.

Still though, I mean there's no going back now. Lockout is done.
