Talk:National Basketball Association

message: The annual edit/revert season is among us and with free agency starting at 6:00pm EST tonight, I thought I'd come hear to clear up the logistics for angsty editors (like myself...). 
Tonight, and over the next week, we should see many very reliable, yet not official, reports of players "planning to" and "have agreed to" free agency deals. This will of course also happen with trades usually being broken by Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania. These reports are very reliable, and the wording is very key in determining the likelihood of the scenario. While it is very likely that the moves stated clearly and confidently by these high level reporters are much more likely to come to fruition than not, we have seen scenarios where deals have fallen through due to medical concerns, not making a specific deadline, or even just a change of decision during moratorium. 
With this prefaced, if we have a hard time updating the lead and info-box of players during this time, I think it is important to note this information in the Professional Career sections of a players timeline while specifically mentioning that it was "widely reported" or something along those lines. I feel that until is officially announced, the timeline should be updated with the new team and information while the info-box and lead could remain the same.

thread_title:  Broken Link 

message: Why are the coordinates of the arena considered an important piece of information on the list of teams? Wouldn't a listing of current Head Coaches make more sense and be more in line with how other sports are formatted? Hawksfan7358 (talk) 22:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there is no reason to list coordinates. I guess it would be best if this was asked at WT:NBA since more editors will probably see it. – sbaio 15:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coordinates versus Coaches 

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved the subtopic articles. There is consensus that National Basketball Association should remain as it is, as indiciated in MOS:ACROTITLE. While there are comments to rerun the other articles separately, there is a consensus to move the other articles listed in here, per WP:CONCISE and WP:SHORTFORM.  – robertsky (talk) 12:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
