No cuz worst team will never win a tournament , never get 1 pick and will always stay bad. better team will tank more .

@Aaron Davis Add the right incentives (money, draft picks, tournament NBA contract boosts like the super max) and players will play. Right now, they are only risking injury and have lost any real concern for competition. They are now more aware that they are in a business than maybe any other time because of how big the salaries are.

Imagine having the 2nd pick in the '84 draft and you chose Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan...

Omg😂😂😂

he's now added a play in tournament, and my hornets were like the first team in history to be eliminated during the playin

That’s what I was thinking, maybe instead of changing the all star game, make some of the regular season games into tournament games.

Champions League sure but FA cup no. Nobody was ever hired to win an FA Cup and no one will keep their job because the won the FA Cup and lost everything else.

Lord hanOr yeah until players think fuck that I wanna keep my spot so play shit meaning they don’t get the first pick who may be in their position

Might even make those stupid "getting rid of decent/good players to get cap space" trades many bad teams have done recently disappear. Trades should be two teams trying to get better, not one actively pushing to be worse.

but let’s say the Warriors have the Cavs pick for example, and the cavs finish bottom 8 will the warriors play in the bottom 8 tournament and win or will the cavs lose on purpose so warriors cant get a good pick of then

Can you explain how the Pelicans and Memphis tanked? You cant. Yet they got first two pics. TANKING DOES NOT EXIST

Mid season (three day) tournament is impossible. All of the teams there, security and logistics - who'd play in the morning and who at night - there's just no way possible to make it work.

/em forwardslash_em if this is the kind of thinking from players in the NBA they don’t deserve to be there.

Jason Williams and Chris Webber. That sounds like a duo I would pay the megabucks to see reunite.

They need to join forces with Ice Cube and the Big 3

Even if they didnt do a full game, who wouldn't want to see Reggie and Ray lace them up for a legends 3pt contest on all star weekend. Throw Michael Jordan in for a game of horse vs Lebron (no dunks allowed).

Well I disagree it would be 1-3 meaningful games whats the point of Zach Lavine playing in games 79-82 at the end of the regular season when the playoffs are out of reach? At least he would play a few games where something is on the line as opposed to nothing which is what happened this year.

I think this is dumb NBA players already have large egos so why would they want to play for a rookie that could replace them or be bum asf 🤷🏿‍♂️

@@aarongreen7987 every era has it's dynasty how are Warriors silvers fault?

don't take away all star weekend, the rest you said is agreed

I agree with that, also agree with doing away with all-star weekend, UNLESS they give us something new and exciting. And it needs a meaningful reward, which always makes things better. The allstar game has always been just for fun, but if something is on the line, it would be much better. The problem is, how do you put something on the line for half of the nba teams? Players that will only be teamed up that one time foe the year? Maybe an all-star tourny is the way to go. Normal playoff format, 7 game series east vs west. And even tho its a shared reward, it might would build a tradition and over time players would gain more and more pride in winning it. Also, to take it a step further maybe, if a trophy just isnt meaningful enough, give the winning conference the #1 and #3 guaranteed draft pick to a team in that conference. And they could, and would still just trade them like they do, so it wouldnt imbalance things or overpower any side i dont think. Would take some experimentation. Unfortunately, thats the problem, alot of diff things might be good, but we can never know without trying them, and the leagues dont want to risk taking an L while experimenting a new layout usually, which is why things stay the same way so long. Its the attitude of, if it aint broke, dont fix it. But its on the verge of breaking at this point imo.

Nunya Bizwacks The NBA season has always Started to early. There’s literally only 4 months between the “off”-season and Regular season (the shortest in American Major league sports, June-October) My idea’s 1. Start the season in December. (There’s no need for the meaningless Oct. & Nov. games) 2. Cut from 82 to 64. (Oct. & Nov cut should do this) 3. Games only played on weekends; Fri., Sat, Sun., (NBA kill there selves with viewership, because of the Week day games. People have full-time jobs and can’t watch them or plan around to watch them! Most of us only catch highlights. Only teens who lives with their mama’s can watch every single game.They should take a page from the NFL for that, weekend=game party) 4. Bring back the Veterans game on All-Star weekend. And kill the Celebrity game. 5. Out Source for the dunk contest! (The greatest dunkers in the world are at the Streets Park hooping, Go grab them boys to compete for $50k-100K) 6. Keep the All-Star game, & keep the captain’s choice (it was actually kinda cool) but shorten the game. Maybe do 2 half’s or cut the quarters to 8-10minutes. And with shortens games (82-64) players should play harder! 7. Add an NBA All-Star weekend 3 on 3 tournament. That includes all 24 all-stars and all-star reserves. (Like a Kyrie, KD, &, Jokic vs. Kemba, Lebron, & KAT! Or Klay, Lillard, & AD vs. Curry, Jimmy Butler, & Embiid) that definitely spice up the All-Star weekend! 8. Seed the playoffs! Stop with the east & west crap. It’s an unfair system to the better conference. 9. Change the playoffs! Top 20 teams make it! 1 game or 3 game series. (We are tired of watching players, “sacrifice” game 1 (Lebron) or not give it there all because they know they can make it up in later games of the series. If they knew it’s a 1 game series.. players will be diving all over the floor! 10. The bottom 10 teams play it out for the #1 pick and dibs on a second tier free agent. (Guys like Boogie Cousins, or Kris Middleton, Dibs means he player must sign with the WINNING TEAM, but if the player says he doesn’t want to play for them, the team must use him as a trade asset of his choosing, NBA decided on fair trade). Come on, make it happen NBA, for the people!

Elliminita all star games is a good idea in my opinion too, but we could have that old players game instead what he is talking about in the beggining. I would love a "fan event" to.

@Nintariz That would be the players dumbass

Nintariz lmao what you expect Adam Silver to do? Ban 3 point shooter from the draft or something?

Nintariz Must be a Rockets fan

tribj001 not really... the draft tournament doesn’t solve tanking... teams will tank so they’re eligible for the tournament then do their best to win that #1 pick...

I wouldn't say hes an innovator, none of these are his ideas

With what you said I just realised it's a big win for the players too. They have a chance to make a name for themselves and up their value from a tournament like that.

Not really though (I mean there's no guarantee that it'll work well). Probably the best team that didn't make the playoff will still win, which probably doesn't help level the playing field. HOWEVER, what it WILL do is severely punish teams who absolutely suck, which prevents teams from absolutely tanking on purpose.

Yea bulls will be back 4 sure!

Draft tournament encourages teams to tank. Imagine the Warriors decided they would rather have the 1# pick than a chip. They tank and get Zion and dominate the league for years.

@@greatomeister675 I feel you're not giving these "professional athletes" enough credit. They train their whole lives to compete at the highest level, no player "wants" to lose.

We should able to see the lottery balls .

Yeah. The league will be more competitive cuz you will have to play better to get a good draft pick. I think a tournament for the top picks for the worst teams mixed with the lottery for the rest of the picks

What about a traded pick. How would that work

Mikki Car When its a one off tournament, anything can happen. I think the draft tournament would be a huge success for the NBA

Well not every tournament is a one and done format. For example the champions league or euro league

davido heinzz bit of a difference between a home and away leg than 7 games lmao

7 games is infinitely better than one and done in serious decisive games

Marz Q no it’s not 7 games gets predictable and boring because the best team will win, in a single game or 2 like football someone can score in the last minute and win or anything crazy can happen. That’s what makes sports interesting. No one cares if they already know the outcome. Dumb comment

True, but not because he’s a good commissioner, but because the rest are terrible. He has his fair share of unfairness, and allowed the nba to become so lopsided with just a couple teams. There’s no surprise in basketball anymore, and he should do something about that.

@@patrickmurtagh5100 i dont think thats a problem with the system, i mean the salary cap doesnt rly work differently than it used to (correct me if im wrong). the only real "superteam" rn is the warriors and we're seeing right now the danger of being as topheavy as they are... u get a bunch of huge money sucks on ur team like curry KD and klay and no money for ur bench and one of them goes down, thats like a 3rd of ur team going down. there have always been teams with multiple super good players, maybe not quite the starting lineup the warriors have but again past teams have had MUCH better benches than the warriors so its a tradeoff... anyway every team has the same salary cap rules to go by, its not rly adam silvers responsibility how individual teams or players use those rules imo also i think its a myth that the nba is anymore lopsided right now than it used to be. maybe its easy to say that when ur in the moment but there have always been dynasties, like shit dont u think other teams were annoyed when MJ cooked everyone for the entire 90s or other teams like the lakers 3 peating and shit? u can say the warriors are doing it the wrong way or whatever (tho again, they sacrifice a bench to have the starting lineup they do) but at the end of the day it's just another super dominant dynasty team, every sport has had tons of these, nothing new

Hell yea!!!!!!

1v1 has no chance of coming because the players would never want it. Adam Silver knows 1v1 would be great for fans etc, but it's the players that make it not happen because they dont want potential embarrassment because if its 1v1 then half the people will lose. But if its 3v3, then it's more of team fault and less harsh on the individual losing(1v1)

Yeah, that's why all the really big names in tennis only play doubles. In the singles tournament, when they lose it's their fault! And forget half the players, almost nobody wins the tournament. It's like only one guy per tournament. Pro athletes get really embarrassed when they lose to each other because their fans expect them to win every game. Better to not play at all than to lose.@@user-iz7ot1tr3t

pradanakusuma imagine fighting for a draft pick and the players a flop 😂

Yes, since American leagues have no relegation, they should really give some incentive for the worse teams!

No it wouldn't, lmao.

The way they changed the rules made it so tanking is useless now,

the legend Ed the post players will win every time, you put a 7 foot center against a 6’4 guard

the legend Ed yeah it’d be unfair it should be 3v3

Or maybe it could be position based or size based - no point guard is really gonna be able to stop a 7'3 center but if you put Kyrie vs. Steph or Damian Lillard that would be fun as hell to watch

offline kev yeah like a top 8 at every position that year would play each other to see who’s the best although I feel like the PF and Center match ups would be boring

Cheerioss - yeah that’s true since post players aren’t too entertaining 1v1 I’m assuming, maybe your idea of a 3v3 would be best Not only because of certain positions being less fun to watch potentially but ALSO, a big thing is players’ reputations/legacies/public images Is a star player like LeBron willing to play 1v1 and have his legacy potentially negatively hit because he lost to another star and the media/fans will say oh he’s not the greatest because he lost to such and such 1 on 1?
