The NBA is considering moving back the draft at least one week, according to a source with ties to the league and its TV partners.

The NBA believes that the draft can become a bigger showcase for new players by creating more distance between its air date and the conclusion of the Finals.

NBA and ABC/ESPN and Turner executives began preliminary discussions during the playoffs about the next TV deal.

Pushing back the draft would delay the start of the free agency and the Summer League.

I would be okay with that. It seems to happen right away.

I love how quickly it happens. I hate waiting for the NFL draft after the season is over.

they dont need to do that, they need to shorten the season.
