If NBA commissioner Adam Silver could have his way, he wants the league to resume holding games real soon, and it's completely understandable - the league is bleeding and heavily at that. Silver gave the assurance on May 8 that his focus is for the suspended season to restart soon. But he warned: "There will be a series of bad options."

The NBA executive held an online discussion last Friday with representatives of players, with Chris Paul heading the players' group, and he made known the plans that will be rolled out to deal with the COVId-19 spread. Silver said a decision on the matter will be made in June.

According to Yahoo Sports, the commissioner indicated that the league has options on how to resume operations but admitted that most on the table right now is not the perfect and even popular solutions.

For one, the league could be forced to hold games only in select cities where the virus is thought to be more contained. There were talks of staging the playoffs and the Finals series in Nevada, Florida, or Toronto, but Silver stated that if the season will resume, the priority is to play games within the borders of the United States.

Silver also made known that the chance is high that when the games are played again, live spectators will not be permitted, which the report said will cause a huge headache to the league.

"The NBA would be facing a tremendous economic blow because Silver said attendance makes up 40 percent of the league's revenue," said Yahoo on the same report.

That being the case, Silver conceded that having a centralized location to host the NBA games will be the safer option available at the moment.

Another possible for Silver is the likelihood that when the games are resumed, the competition will jump straight to the playoffs. According to Lakers Nation, such a move could potentially anger players, team owners, and fans alike.

That's because teams who have been scrambling to improve on their win-loss records before the games were halted could be eliminated automatically in the planned scheme. Going in that direction, however, will be the best for the majority of stakeholders in the league, the report added.

The plan by the NBA is to make the decision in June and possibly resume the games in late July or August. According to Silver, once a definitive calendar for return has been set, teams will be required to hold training camps before heading to the actual matches.

The commissioner estimated that training camps will last at least three weeks or a maximum of six from the time the resumption would be announced.
