NBA cancels Summer League, summer internships, and planning for European preseason games in advance of expected lockout. Yikes. Posted by Matt Moore

Up until now, the NBA has kept its heart and mind publicly open to the idea that the labor dispute would be settled before June 30th when the current CBA expires, or soon afterwards, to avoid any disruption of NBA plans. A report from the New York Daily News suggests the league is moving forward with facing reality. They are cancelling NBA Summer League for 2011, their summer internship plans, and are not planning for any European preseason games. Gulp.

Its going to be a LONG summer, basketball fans.

Yeah, disappointed about that. Cruzdude, Unci03 and I were all planing on going to the summer league again this year. Originally the league said there would be a summer league whether there was a lock out of not. Apparently they changed their mind. Lets hope for a quick resolution in the talks. I won't hold my breath though.

Jeez, next year will not be a good year if the NFL AND the NBA cancel their seasons

Couldn't a private sponsor host a summer league? Jerome James played Globetrotters ball during the last lockout.
