If I were the Czar of the NBA this is what I would do to "fix" the game

10 would fix so many of the problems. At least Draymond would be gone within

2, 5 and 10 would be huge for fixing the game.

I don’t have the NBA ref complex that most here seem to have. It’s not even in

The refs have had biases towards certain players, mostly stars forever. It also bugs me that they allow stars to

This. I don't think they are out to get my team. I honestly think for the most

I agree with everything you’re saying. I guess I just don’t think it affects

Allow any type of defense. Let them play a 2-3 zone. Get rid of illegal defense

I don't like that as I don't like guys just sitting in the paint the entire time. It will encourage teams to go even

kimdaddy35

It will also give players like Gobert an even better advantage. I'd love to see

Re: #3, I dont think players are sitting out because the games are too close

Memmo

5/26/22 2:54pm

That is fair, but there is a reason you see guys take days off at the end of the season and that is to get rest

I disagree on #2 about flopping. Actually make them pay for flopping.

On #8 — I think if a team signs a player from another team with AAV at 80% or

In which case players would simply take the larger payday and force a trade...

That’s still better than losing a player for nothing. Which is the point.

For the salary cap - make it a hard cap like the NFL has with no such things as

crack

5/26/22 3:02pm

The reason I don't like that is it can penalize a team with home grown talent. I hate that a team like Oklahoma City

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 3:04pm

Yeah, I get that. But it is a tradeoff I would be willing to make.

crack

5/26/22 3:10pm

I think that plays to a bigger advantage for the bigger markets, but it would be interesting to see if that is

I like your idea in #7 about the luxury tax stuff. If you are going to

I'd add a big one. Find a way to get rid of the "euro foul" where teams

5/26/22 3:14pm

They already have a "clear path" foul, don't they? Would that just be an

cougarfan84

5/26/22 3:15pm

Yeah. Teams take that foul every time. I hate it. Bring back fast breaks

Blueto

5/26/22 3:18pm

The clear path is very rare as you only have to be on the right side of the lead guy. Pretty easy to do.

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 3:18pm

Yes, they need to do a better job of this. Whether it is to "play advantage" or whatever it is that needs to change.

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 3:17pm

On #9, I think you would have to balance the schedule out to make that work

5/26/22 3:24pm

I understand that, but the NFL makes it work (within the own conferences). I mean often times one team plays

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 3:32pm

At the very least maybe add a few more cross conference games, maybe 5-10?

5/26/22 3:38pm

I would be fine with that as well. Travel distances don't really matter with chartered flights and the East and the

How about making it illegal to set a screen beyond the three point line? Make it

Also I mentioned in a different thread but I would move all replay functions

5/26/22 3:29pm

This would be helpful and hopefully take away a lot of the bias of keeping the call the same when it wasn't the right

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 3:38pm

I honestly don't know why they haven't done this already

5/26/22 3:40pm

Get rid of the max contract

Diddy

5/26/22 4:16pm

I thought about that and it is an interesting concept. I'm just not sure it turns out better for the NBA overall. But

kimdaddy35

5/26/22 4:30pm

I'm not even sure that the players union would want to get rid of the max

cougarfan84

5/26/22 6:15pm

Response: 1. Sure, but doesn't that throw off every court in America now? 2. Yes

I’m all in on 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10.

I like all of your ideas but not sure how easy it'd be to change the size of the court in existing arenas.
