NBA News Update: 2020 Draft to be help on November 18th
The NBA Draft was initially supposed to take place on October 16th. But there were concerns among teams as it would leave them with too little time to prepare and come up with a draft strategy. Recent news updates suggest that the league has addressed these concerns by postponing the draft date by a month.
This new timeline gives the much needed time for teams who were looking to trade players and draft picks in the offseason. This also gives them time to negotiate the new salary cap numbers for next season.
There's still a lot of uncertainty over the potential start date for the next season. As trade rumors surrounding big players emerge each day, this delayed 2020 Draft date helps the league by giving teams time to prepare and negotiate trade deals.
