The MBA's Board of Governors and Players Association will hold separate meetings today expected to culminate with an agreement on starting the 2020 21 season on December 22nd and play reduced to 72 game schedule.

MBA的理事會和球員協會將在今天分別召開會議，預計最終將就2020年21賽季12月22日開始，比賽縮減到72場的賽程達成協議。

Sources have told ESPN The players association is planning to take a formal vote of the team player representatives late today and sources told ESPN that everything is progressing toward an agreement on a pre Christmas start to the season.

有消息稱，球員協會計劃在今天晚些時候對球隊球員代表進行正式投票，消息人士告訴ESPN，一切都在朝著達成聖誕前開賽的協議進展。

So here's what awaits when we finally get to play basketball.

所以當我們終於可以打籃球的時候，等待我們的是什麼。

Brian Wynne, horse Now with what's at stake.

布賴恩-溫恩，馬現在的情況，事關重大。

Oh, here we are again trying to figure out when the MBA might play and what it might look like.

呵呵，在這裡我們又想弄清楚MBA可能在什麼時候玩，可能是什麼樣子。

What about free agency fans in Arena?

競技場的自由球員球迷怎麼辦？

The clock is ticking on a viable season.

一個可行的賽季的時間正在流逝。

Here's the situation, eh?

情況是這樣的，嗯？

NBA owners want the new season to begin on December 22nd, but some of the players want that pushed back to Martin Luther King Day on January 18th.

NBA老闆希望新賽季在12月22日開始，但部分球員希望將這一時間延後到1月18日的馬丁-路德-金日。

A normal N B A season starting in October and going to mid June runs about 245 days from December 22nd to the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics next July 23rd, which the MBA absolutely does not want to compete with is just 213 days.

正常的N B A賽季從10月開始到6月中旬，從12月22日到明年7月23日的東京奧運會開幕式大約有245天，MBA絕對不想與之競爭的只有213天。

If the lead weights until MLK Day, it's a span of 186 days until the start of the Olympics.

如果領先權重到MLK日，那麼距離奧運會開始還有186天的時間跨度。

Simply put, this is the time crunch the players and owners air facing as they try to put together next season.

簡單的說，這就是球員和老闆空面臨的時間緊迫，因為他們試圖把下個賽季放在一起。

We're going to see Christmas Day games.

我們要去看聖誕節的比賽。

We have to to start this fast after the season just ended.

我們必須在賽季剛結束後就開始這麼快。

It is a bad move.

這是一個糟糕的舉動。

So this is the league's plan.

所以這就是聯盟的計劃。

It wants to add about 1 to 2 extra games per team per month, which would also mean more back to backs and making it harder on players.

它希望每支球隊每月多增加1到2場比賽，這也意味著更多的背靠背，讓球員更難受。

It wants to find ways to reduce travel by 25% or more, making it easier on players.

它希望找到減少25%或更多行程的方法，讓玩家更輕鬆。

And it wants to perhaps have teams play each other several times in a row in the same city.

而且它希望可以或許讓球隊在同一個城市連續多次對陣。

Doing this would make it possible to play 72 games plus the full playoffs.

這樣做就可以打72場比賽，再加上完整的季後賽。

In that span.

在這個跨度。

It would enable teams to retain more than one billion that they get in local media deals each year.

這將使球隊能夠留住每年在當地媒體交易中獲得的10多億。

Most of those contracts call for at least 70 games.

這些合同大多要求至少70場比賽。

But if it isn't started until mid January, owners have told players there might be time for just 50 some games per team.

但如果要到1月中旬才開始，老闆已經告訴球員，可能每隊只有50一些比賽的時間。

That will mean a significant loss in TV revenue and with the reduced game checks heavy losses for the players financially, the players are going to take a big hit this year.

這將意味著電視收入的重大損失，而減少的比賽支票對球員的經濟損失慘重，球員今年將受到很大的衝擊。

This is why there is so much back and forth because the salaries air really being affected.

所以才會有這麼多的來回，因為工資確實受到影響。

Take LeBron James.

以勒布朗-詹姆斯為例。

He is supposed to make 39 million next season.

他下賽季的收入應該是3900萬。

If there are 72 games, his salary will be reduced to 34 million.

如果有72場比賽，他的薪水將降到3400萬。

If there are only 50 games, it would drop to 24 million.

如果只有50款遊戲，就會降到2400萬。

Multiply this over all 450 players in the league and the loss of salary by waiting the extra four weeks could cost the players more than 500 million in salaries.

將此乘以聯盟所有450名球員，多等四周的薪金損失可能會讓球員們損失超過5億的薪金。

That doesn't include the reductions players might have to take to offset losses, with no fans expected in arenas, which could chop off another 30 to 40%.

這還不包括球員為抵消損失而可能要採取的減員措施，預計場館內沒有球迷，這可能會再砍掉30到40%。

And none of this accounts for the possible postponed or canceled games due to co vid 19 outbreaks in case they happen.

而這一切都沒有考慮到萬一發生時，可能因co vid 19爆發而延後或取消的比賽。

All of this is hard.

這一切都很難。

Much of it is tough to accept.

很多都是難以接受的。

But it's the reality, and the time keeps ticking by.

但這就是現實，時間一直在流逝。

So I'm also told Brian Wind Horse, Who did that?

所以我也被告知布萊恩-風馬，誰幹的？

Report forces literally standing by for when news breaks.

報道部隊真的是站在新聞爆發的時候，為。

It's gonna hop on this live television program, love it.

它要跳上這個電視直播節目，喜歡它。

But until then, we will show you his tracked voice and show you some proposed dates.

但在那之前，我們將向你展示他的跟蹤聲音，並向你展示一些建議的日期。

The NBA draft, by the way, here in the ESPN is they've been they've taken our green rooms for.

對了，NBA選秀，在ESPN這裡是他們已經他們已經把我們的綠色房間為。

They're gone for the MBA.

他們去讀MBA了。

Sure.

當然可以

I assume Adam Silver is gonna be one of them.

我想亞當-西爾弗也會是其中之一。

He will.

他會的

I'll show him where the beverages are cool and started the season proposed December 22nd.

我會讓他知道哪裡的飲料是涼的，開始了12月22日提議的季節。
