But you're right that it starts to become a logistical nightmare the later they'd bump.

*Maybe* if this thing is over by May (it almost certainly won't be), they could go straight to the playoffs-- or even do some sort of truncated playoffs with the top 4 teams from each conference. I'm sure they *want* to do something, not just for tradition but for revenue. And even if it ends a little later and they push back the draft and the Summer League by 2-4 weeks, I don't think it'd be the end of the world logistically.

It's just a matter of if they feel confident that everything is getting better by then and if they feel like going through the logistical rigamarole that planning all of this would entail. And I... am skeptical that that combination of things can be overridden.
