Had an interesting thought about the postseason, that might be interesting. Postseason Plan All 30 teams make playoffs Bottom 7 teams from each conference placed in Lottery 1st Round (Single Loss elimination) Conference Champs get a bye Remaining 14 teams are seeded 1 vs 14, 2 vs 13, 3 vs 12, 4 vs 11, 5 vs 10, 6 vs 9, 7 vs 8 Lotto teams have Lottery Odds incentives for winning , AKA if they win their 1st round they get bonus lotto numbers Round 2 (Best of 5) Remaining teams are seeded based on Bracket Conference Champ would play winner of 7 vs 8 Conference Semis, Finals and NBA finals all best of 7 Just an idea that would be kind of fun.
I've proposed something somewhat similar previously in anti-tanking threads, with a 3-day single-elimination tournament between the bottom 8 teams in each conference, with the winner getting both the 8 seed and a top-2 draft pick, leading into the standard playoff format we have today.
