The NBA's Return Plan Is Not Perfect But Perfect Was Never An Option

BOSTON – The NBA is back.

Great, right? Right?

On Thursday, the NBA’s Board of Governors approved the league’s plan to restart the season. In a 29-1 vote—Portland, somewhat bizarrely, was the only team to vote against—team owners signed off on the NBA’s plan to bring 22 teams to Orlando to complete the ’19-20 season.

The NBA players union will have a conference call with team representatives on Friday to discuss the league’s proposal. If approved, training camps will open on June 30 with the season resuming a month later.

Is it the right move?
