These are the last few weeks before the NBA season officially gets underway.
Eurobasket is wrapping up. The league is having its last meetings — including a competition committee meeting at some point this week. Players are beginning to trickle back to their home towns for group workouts and some early promotional video shooting. And coaches are putting the final touches on their training camp plans.
There is not much time left to get things ready for the season. The last little bits have to get put in place.
The league will hold its competition committee meeting this week and discuss Lottery reform, potentially proposing a change for the 2019 season.
