Here’s something to discuss and how all in one swoop we end nba players taking rests, teams tanking for a more lottery balls, and we welcome the Kentucky Colonels to the NBA. First, in the NBA, get rid of the conferences and divisions and every team now simply plays a home and home with every other team. We expand the NBA by two teams to Nashville and Louisville making it 32 team league, 62 game schedule.
Second at the end of the regular season all 32 teams are seeded and 1 play 32, vs 31, etc in a 7 game series where the winners continue to the Title Bracket and the Losers go to the Draft Bracket. This adds 4-7 games. From here you have two separate playoffs going at once. Obviously the Title teams go for the trophy, the Draft Bracket plays for the #1 draft pick, where the best team now gets it not the worst.
You play all 7 games series and make the brackets just like ncaa’s. imagine once you split the teams into the two brackets you fill out your NBA playoff brackets for the playoff run. And you get two. And your team who you thought was out of it is now playing for the #1 draft pick. How awesome would that be?
Now here’s where you can really make the money if you are an owner, every time a team loses a series he falls into a pool of other losing teams, like a double elimination tourney, and normally the draft pick order is given by a system of tiebreakers. Instead, make these teams play each other for the draft spot. Ex.-On the title side, when there are 4 teams left, the two losing teams play a consolation series to decide the 30th-31st picks. And you expand that down the line so the season never really ends for a team until maybe the last week half the teams don’t play. But that’s it.
You keep playing until there’s no losers left and your draft pick is set. This now eliminates players ever resting because every game, even the regular season is important because you want the best seed. Teams can’t tank because you have to win to earn your draft pick. Owners win because with these extra series they’ll actually average more than 82 game season so every owner gets more home games and more sellouts because very game means something.
And since you need two more teams to make the 32 brackets equal out bring on the colonels. Ratings go up. Casual fans start doing nba brackets. Betting goes thru the roof. And imagine if you starting the same thing in mlb or hockey? And players will be happy because with all the games they’ll get their wish of expanded rosters so more players getting paid. There you have it, I’ve revolutionized American pro sports.
