The NBA is engaged in serious discussions with the National Basketball Players Association and broadcast partners on sweeping and dramatic changes to the league calendar.

Potential scenarios include a reseeding of the four conference finalists, a 30-team in-season tournament and a postseason play-in.

These scenarios would include shortening the regular season to no less than 78 games.

The discussions are progressing with the hopes of bringing a vote to the April meeting of the board of governors and incorporating them for the 21-22 season.

The league is working to make sure the loss of revenue for teams and players with a shortened regular season would be break even or better initially, with significant financial windfalls in the long term.
