    What if the 82 game season were divided into two 42 game seasons.

    Play 42 games to determine one-half of the playoff teams, and preliminary seeding.

    Short vacation to get healthy.

    Teams start the second season 0-0.

    Teams that didn't qualify for the playoffs in the first season get a do-over to fill the remaining spots. Teams that did qualify can strengthen, or weaken, their preliminary seeding (keeps them playing for something).

    Just spit balling. I have no idea how to make it work.

    Flame away.

    :cheers:

    I really like this, although the injury risks to young players escalates. I think it could be a good way for older players to show they can still play too (and maybe earn a contract?).

    Man, a 1 and done tourney going into the all star break would be awesome. I could also see centering it around Christmas, though not sure how you'd get 4 games on the 25th and wrap up before the bowl games.

    The all star game is a joke. Want my take?

    Get rid of the all stars all together and only have all nba.

    So for all star weekend, because the league still needs a break, last years all nba 3rd team would play the 2nd team on Saturday day, then have your skills and slam dunk contest follow.
    Then on Sunday afternoon/evening you open with the 3pt contest, and then the winner of the first all nba game plays the 1st all nba team.

    I would put on my calendar every year that I'm busy this weekend if they did that.

    Season should be 50 games. Top 12 teams make playoffs. Top 2 get byes. All playoff series best of 5.

    Wait, so you're suggesting that the players win the tourney so the team has an easier way to bring in a better player to take away minutes from those players?

    Being a champion of minor league baseball is like being the smartest kid in the dumb class or even better, hooking up with the hottest ugly chic in school.

    Why would players want to compete to be traded or replaced?

    I'm sure Dame, CJ and Nurk were very disappointed that Olshey added Hood and Kanter to the rotation in February.

    Some players are confident enough in their own abilities that they would see that kind of "prize" as improving the team as a whole rather than threatening the individual players' positions or status.

    I guess it's all perspective. Better than being the dumbest kid in the dumb class or not hooking up at all.....

    NBA Twitter seems to hate this but I love it. Glad Silver is pushing this through.

    Why? What do they accomplish by risking injuries?
