While the NBA will move up the end of the moratorium for this year's free agency, it will not be a change in perpetuity as part of the current collective bargaining agreement.

The moratorium will last from July 1st until July 6th.

It previously was scheduled to run until July 11th.

The change in the length of the moratorium has been attributed by some to what happened last offseason with DeAndre Jordan backing out of his agreement with the Dallas Mavericks to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.
