There is now a new report saying that the NBA has not canceled the NBA Summer League, yet.

[B]While it’s obvious that there would be no summer league involving NBA players or drafted rookies in the event of a lockout, two people with knowledge of the situation said the event has not yet been canceled. [/B]
There have been informal discussions for months between summer league organizers and league officials about what to do with the scouting event if there is a work stoppage, and the ideas have included bringing international teams to the event, one of the people said.
In addition, the D-League — which will continue to operate during an NBA work stoppage because its players are not NBPA members — is exploring the possibility of holding a
Las Vegas event that would replace summer league. D-League officials, sources said, are exploring this hypothetical event without the assistance of Vegas summer league organizers.
But as of now, summer league is scheduled to begin July 8. Given the current labor climate, that would seem to be wishful thinking.

The NBA can say what it wants too…..it doesn’t look good for the Summer League or avoiding a lockout at the present time.
