With more and more coming out everyday about the resumed 2020 NBA season, there is still plenty for the league to figure out. As always, the NBA has to include next season in mind when deciding how to resume this season. SI's Chris Mannix joined Robin Lundberg to discuss a few scenarios for next season's schedule.

Robin Lundberg: Of course, this NBA season isn't scheduled, but they also have to scheduled next season. For more on that, I'm joined by our senior writer, Chris Mannix. Chris, we know December 1st is a target date, but that's a quick turnaround. What's the league trying to accomplish here?

Chris Mannix: Yeah, Atlanta Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk was on a conference call with reporters earlier this week, and he kind of leant voice to what most already felt was the thinking behind it, which was the league would like to get back on a regular schedule and finish the 2020-2021 season sometime in mid-to-late June. It's why the league, which is going to end October 12th potentially and have a really quick turnaround time to get back into training camp in early November and start on December 1st.

Robin Lundberg: Do you see that being moved? Because obviously I would imagine the players are going to try and and get it pushed back to around Christmas time at least.

Chris Mannix: Yeah, the union has already pushed back a little bit. And this is definitely a fluid situation, an ongoing negotiation. Because the union, the players, don't want to have a couple of teams potentially finished in mid-October and have to turn around and come back and get into training camp a month maybe less than a month later. So the union's pushing back. And more importantly, I think the NBA might be missing an opportunity here to see what summer basketball actually looks like. If they begin to schedule at Christmas time and stretch it out the normal way, they'll be able to see get some data on what July and August basketball looks like. Now, a lot of people believe that summer basketball and summer sports don't work at a high level, but that's mostly because summer sports haven't taken place at a high level ever before really. And certainly not in the NBA. There are a lot of people around the league that think the league might be missing out on an opportunity to go ahead, play summer basketball. And if the data comes back that it's not worth it? Come the 2021-2022 season. You can find a way to get back on a normal schedule.
