Under Koonin&#8217;s proposal, the start of the NBA season would shift from mid-October to mid-December, after college football has completed its regular season and has begun its bowl season. The Finals would take place sometime in August rather than June with the draft and free agency to come after that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A big piece is you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel to enhance ratings,&#8221; Koonin said. &#8220;Sometimes, moving away from competition is a great way to grow ratings. If King Kong is at your door, you might go out the back door, rather than go out the front and engage in a hand-to-hand fight with King Kong. Many times, at the start of the NBA season, we are competing with arguably the best Thursday Night Football game with the NBA on TNT, our marquee broadcast, and we get crushed and we wonder why. It&#8217;s because at the beginning of the season, there&#8217;s very little relevance for the NBA. The relevance is now. That&#8217;s when people are talking about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NBA SVP of strategy and analytics Evan Wasch said the NBA is open to such an idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finals would take place sometime in August under Koonin\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92],"tags":[940,12632],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-138488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-nba-schedule"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
