Michele Roberts hopes the NBA and the union can agree upon a new collective bargaining agreement in the coming months.
Either side can opt out of their current 10-year pact in 2017.
“Since the day Michele took the job, we’ve been talking on a regular basis,” Adam Silver told the Globe. “I think we’ve both been clear that our jobs are to bring stability to the league and to continue and build on the success we’ve had. We’re looking forward to engaging with the union. We have a labor relations committee formed. She has her executive committee. We hope to get together this fall and continue the discussions we’ve been having on a staff level.”
Adam Silver: NBA Moving Toward Point Where Every Franchise Is Significant
he Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics have had struggles in recent seasons, though all three teams now appear to be moving in a positive direction.
Some of have said the NBA would be in a better position if their big market franchises are relevant.
“What we’re seeing now in the NBA is that, regardless of market size, that with a well-managed organization and a bit of luck you can compete for championships in this league,” Adam Silver said. “We’re moving toward the point where every franchise is significant. I don’t place the importance of any particular franchise over any other. So while we want to see every team compete, we recognize there’s an ebb and flow in every market. So I’m very satisfied with the league right now and enjoy watching the building process that teams go through.”
