NFL and NBA are different. At least the NFL still had some version of an off-season. Literally 2 weeks between when teams can start to sign FA’s until the first game? That’s a joke

I can gurantee 2 things. 1, several guys will get grossly overpaid this season. Teams will lose out on a specific player they want, and will panic and overpay the next guy on the list because there really isn’t time for fall back options. 2, some team will ruin their franchise for the next decade. They will be a team that is not very good, but has been together a few years. Since they season is short and so many teams are changing around, they will have an advantage, and will have a good season. That team will then overpay to keep the core of that team together. Unfortunately, I think that team will be my sixers once again (happened when they went to the finals in 01).

Thing is, from a fan’s PoV, the feeding frenzy in the NFL last summer after that lockout was amazing. Wall to wall coverage, signings galore, more buildup for the season than ever before. All that noise helped football fans forget the lockout.

Now I know that the circumstance here is different. But I am really looking forward to seeing another frenzy. From my vantage point on the sidelines, it’s going to be tons of fun. And then after it’s over, there will be games.
