    I don't understand the benefit of this.

    I just want US vs the world. Keep the same selection process as currently in place, except the 11th and 12th players in each conference would be utilized to ensure proper balance between the two sides. World team is coached by whichever ASG coach has the highest-vote-getting INTL player.

    It was arguable that the 2 best teams remaining in the west in the 2nd round faced each other in that round (in the East too, with Boston and Philly). Rearranging the seeds supposedly makes it more likely to get the best possible matchup in the CF.

    Obviously, the way Miami and LA have played in these playoffs undercuts that argument, but they are anomalies, not the rule.

    How about changing the All-Star game where a bunch of fat old GMs have to play for the #1 pick in the draft?

    You would see a lot of teams hiring players who just retired as their GM.

    GMs have to be in the position for a minimum amount of time and have to stay in the position for a minimum amount of time after the game.
