Opinion: NBA can't resume play soon enough, but Adam Silver won't be rushed

Whether optimistic, pessimistic or realistic about the NBA finishing the 2019-20 season, the league – even at the highest level – doesn’t know what will happen and isn’t making firm plans.

Maybe you are optimistic after hearing NBA owners Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks and Marc Lasry of the Milwaukee Bucks express optimism on CNN and CNBC that the league will resume its season.

Maybe you are pessimistic after reading a CNBC report that some team executives are calling for NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to cancel the season.

Or maybe you’re a realist who can conceptualize playing later in the summer but understands the massive – and perhaps insurmountable – obstacles required to make that happen.
