Players must still reform union, and small details such as drug testing, early entry draft age, and D-League assignments must be ironed out.

Should be a 66 game season.

Hopefully the Cavs go 10-56 and secure another top pick, while Kyrie Irving and TT get some development/experience.

what about all those players that signed overseas. Do they come back or miss a season?

Most have/had an out clause pending the NBA season.

That game looked a lot better 7 days ago. But yeah, SNF is an added bonus to top it off.

If the Packers come into that game undefeated it will look great, unless they pull an Indianapolis Colts and rest the the starters.

Who signed in China?
But I guess I'll be glad only because I miss the TNT coverage of the NBA.

JR Smith signed one (and has already been in a contract dispute)
Kenyon Martin
Wilson Chandler
Aaron Brooks supposedly did?

I think there are some others, but I'm too lazy to look

Cool. Thanks. Wilson Chandler looks like the biggest name although Kenyon still had some game left.
