9/30 player registration day
10/1 Training camp begins
The NBA stipulates that September 30th is the reporting day for players, and media day activities and training camps will also start on this day, so this day is counted as the start of the Preseason. However, because many international warm-up matches will start early this year and preparations will be made to go abroad, the registration day for teams playing warm-up matches outside North America will be moved up three days.
10/18 Warm-up match ends
This warm-up match continues to maintain the design of starting earlier and reducing the number of games, striving to reduce the load on the team in the regular season (reduced back-to-backs, reduced flight distance, etc.). However, the number of international events has increased a lot. The Pacers and Kings will play two games in Mumbai, India on October 4 and 5, the Rockets and Raptors will play two games in Tokyo on October 8 and 10, and the Nets and Lakers will play in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China on October 10 and 12. In two games, the Mavericks and Clippers will face each other in Vancouver, Canada on the 17th.
10/21 Official list deadline
10/22 Opening Game
The NBA stipulates that a team's warm-up game roster can be as high as 20 people, and the 21st is the life and death line for signing training camp players. The opening game on the 22nd will feature the defending champion Raptors against the new-generation Pelicans, as well as the Los Angeles Lakers Clippers, who have a total of three top stars transferred during the summer vacation.
There are also three international matches in the regular season this season. The Mavericks-Pistons (December 12th) and the Spurs Suns (December 14th) will stage two regular-season battles in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. The Hornets and Bucks (January 24th) will play a regular season game in Paris, France.
1/5 10-day contract is open for use
1/10 Final date for abandonment of non-guaranteed contracts
1/15 Final signing date for two-way contract
These three days will be a big day for those on the fringes of the league. Whether there are better job opportunities will be known in January. For ball-to-ball operations, the deadline for the non-guaranteed contract to become a regular player is likely to trigger some small transactions.
2/6 Transaction Deadline (3PM)
The trade deadline is still the most critical day in the NBA season. The deadline for teams to choose to develop or sink is on this day. This year, we can pay attention to whether the trade of draft picks and stars will increase or slow down in the face of the small year of the free market.

2/14 – 16 Chicago All-Star Game
After using the captain's draft model to divide teams for two consecutive years, the situation in the All-Star Game seems to be on the rise. Of course, whether Zion Williams participates in the Slam Dunk Contest will also be one of the most watched focuses this season.
3/1 Buyout free agents allowed to log in to playoff deadline
This is the last mile of reinforcement for playoff teams, and judging from last year, the team gained even more in the buyout market than in the transaction market. However, Marc Gasol, an important reinforcement for the championship team Raptors, is still a puzzle piece obtained from the trade market.
Playoffs begin on 4/18
5/19 Division Championship Game Begins
The finals begin on 6/4
With the main players of the defending champion leaving their hometown, the Warriors are also facing a reorganization. This year's NBA has become a state of competition for hegemony. Including teams such as the Bucks and 76ers in the Eastern Conference, as well as more coveted powers in the Western Conference, they all have more money to covet the championship gold cup. I believe this year's playoffs will bring us more surprises.
6/25 NBA 2020 Draft
After the long 82-game regular season, the most important day for rebuilding the team is still the draft. It's just that the league has modified the impact of record and lottery winning ratio, and the policy of completely abandoning and not cultivating players in the team will probably no longer be a good idea.
