With the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers each holding 3-0 leads in their respective conference finals, the NBA reportedly is exploring moving the start of the Finals.

According to multiple reports, the NBA Finals might be moved up two days to June 2. If both series were to end in 4-0 series results, there would be an eight-day break between the final conference game and Game 1 of the Finals.

But television commitments, hotel capacities, international media travel and other considerations make this change unlikely, according to CBS Sports.

If both series were to be pushed to seven games -- as unlikely as that appears -- the Western Conference finals would end May 31 and the East would conclude on June 1, which would provide a two-day layoff until the first game of the Finals.
