The NBA continues to plan for scenarios to pick up the 19-20 season and play enough playoff games to crown a legitimate champion. The NBA has viewed the possible completion of the playoffs by Labor Day as an ideal scenario. 

"I know this: the league's hope is, their goal is, objective... is to have a season wrapped up by Labor Day Weekend," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "That way they could have the backend of The Finals right before the start of football season, if indeed football is starting.

"But there's just no way for them to know what it all looks like in June. I think if we're in June and they're not right on the cusp of opening up camps for a couple of weeks and play a few regular season games... If you start to get into June and that doesn't seem like something that the league can move right into, then I think it becomes really hard to restart the league. Then you're looking at such a compact... At some point the hardest decision is what is a legitimate representative like tournament? Playoff system? To really have a legitimate champion."

Wojnarowski talked about the concern that the playoff system could be perceived as "farcical" if there isn't a complete enough playoffs.
