The NBA needs approximately three months to fully complete their season while playing almost no back-to-backs.

There are 259 regular season games remaining on the schedule in the regular season, which would take 33 days.

To play a full four-round postseason with minimal days off, the NBA would need a maximum of 55 days.

The 2016 playoffs lasted 64 days from April 16th until Game 7 of The Finals between the Cavaliers and Warriors on June 19th.

The NBA needs to finally shut it down and focus on better days to come. Every idea and possible plan to reopen has serious flaws and health risks.
