One last change the season argument... 

Post#1 » by bringWallyBack » Wed Oct 22, 2014 7:00 am

To start off, I like the 82 game season.

I think that players today are cry babies if they want a shorter season.

This thought came randomly couple weeks ago and wanted to bring it up before this new season starts and my apology if someone has had a similar thought before.

Have a 50 game season.

One game against the other conference switching home-games every year, two games against your own conference and an extra game against your own division. Season ends during the All Star Game Week.

Top 16 teams start a brand new 32 game non-conference season were they play home and home game against everyone and an extra home and home game against the closest team, schedule to be determined during week-long All Star Week.

After the 32 games, tie breakers determined by 50-game season, top 10 teams go to playoffs, seeds 7 and 10 face each other in a 3-game series to face the 2nd seed and 8 and 9 face each other in a 3 game series to go against the first seed while all other playoffs games are determined in 7 game series.

All non-playoffs teams have a lottery percentage determined opportunity for the first overall pick.

All awards determined after all 82 games are finished with acknowledgement of the players not playing the extra games before the playoffs.

Pros:
*All games matter in a 50 game season.
*All games matter in a 32 game season.
*Seriously, every game matters
*Players get paid by the games they play.
*Owners get what they pay for.
*No need to see horrible teams for a full 82-game season.

Cons:
*Players only get paid for the games played.
*Owners will lose money for the non-played games.
*Fans will not see a full season of up and coming teams.

Any thoughts?

Obviously NBPA will not allow something like this.
