Under the jurisdiction of commissioner Adam Silver, the NBA has seemed to display smooth results and a strong connection between the organization and the players’ association. The current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is set to expire on June 30, 2017, as Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and the executives around the league hope to reach an agreement soon.
If the NBA or NBPA wanted to terminate to contract, they would have to let the other group know by Dec. 15, which is just under a month away. As of now, matters have been progressing smoothly, as it seems Silver and NBPA president Chris Paul have been able to negotiate matters with their associates.
