    Stupid. The play in is the best you're going to get for an additional tournament.

    This is a trash idea. Just a money grab. I don't want our players playing in this. I agree with Cuban. I'd treat it like a Summer League roster.

    This is terrible for several reasons. It is going to lead to more injuries. And, it is going to make it to where they have to do something like a first half of the season schedule and second half. All the tournament games will count towards the 82 regular season....but they can't know who will advance and play who before hand. This will be a scheduling disaster.

    You can't treat it that way though because the games count for the season standings.

    Players miss too much time as it is (Injuries, load management).

    Your players are going to be playing regardless. It’s just part of the 82 game schedule

    How does it lead to more injuries?

    I don’t see why so many of you hate the idea of the games meaning more. A Christmas Day title game! This sounds like fun. Think of how much fun the bubble seeding games were. And I recently read that Dame’s Bubble MVP is actually an important credit to his HOF resume. I get it that a lot of you hate change, but 20 years from now, people will say “What? There used to be no inseason tournament? How awful.” Guys, it gives us something to win! Way more exciting than a division title.

    The only way this would be interesting at all is if they let G-League, and even college teams participate. Then they'd really be emulating soccer leagues. I hate this idea as is. I'd rather see a world club championship type of tournament.

    I agree.
    This just seems like a "Winter League" tournament.

    I'd criticize it, but ... I don't even understand it.

    I've got a hunch that'll be its general reception.
