Amidst all the offseason NBA news (Kobe and the Lakers, gambling scandal, KG trade, etc.) the time is no better than now for the NBA to release the 2007-08 NBA Schedule.

Oddly enough, I heard this on KNBR this afternoon (thanks Bob Fitzgerald) but I can’t find any news of this online. Is it supposed to be a surprise?

I’m assuming this release date has long been scheduled but it is a nice coincidence for the business of basketball. Hopefully the league had enough time to schedule plenty of nationally televised Celtics games as they will surely be the en vogue team when the action tips off.
