The existing CBA will expire after the 2020 season.

A group of league owners and players have met three times this year and plan
to sit at the negotiating table as many as four times this month, ESPN said.

Both sides seem optimistic that they can reach an agreement before the current
CBA expires. The owners also are set to begin renegotiations of their
television deals soon.
