    An in-season tournament? Why?
    Why is a play-in necessary with 16 teams already going to the playoffs?

    This will affect teams that are banged up going into the playoffs with high seeds.....might benefit those with fresh legs

    It said re-seeding the conference finals only I believe. So that would prevent the lower seed from getting home court in the conference finals.

    What I think would be great would be keeping 8 teams from the west and 8 teams from the east then seeding 1-16 for the playoffs.
    Could have been Blazers vs Lakers in the finals in 2000 for example, or golden state might not even have made it to the finals last season.

    the in-season tournament is arguably the stupidest, most unnecessary change the league has proposed in quite some time

    They should have a slam dunk contest at the start of the season too and whichever team wins it cant shoot 3 pointers the entire season but their dunks count as 3 points.

    Then a 3 point contest mid season and the team who wins can only shoot from 40 feet but any 3's they hit with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter will award 9 points and lower the price of hot dogs in the stadium by 10 cents for each made 3 pointer.

    Keep the changes really rolling, keep the game fresh and exciting!

    About 5 years after Adam Silver retires, everyone will look back and say “wow, that guy sucked ass.” but for now he is being propped up by the media while he destroys the NBA with politics and foreign influence.

    78 games is a good idea. Everything else is dumb.

    The 78 games is so they can add games with the in in season tourney

    The in season tourney is all fine and dandy until the first player gets hurt in it.

    I like the other ideas.

    For the all star weekend I would love to see a fastest man competition. Dribbling baseline to baseline. I think it would get super competitive
