Definitely need a change to the current Ref makeup.
I'd like to see more refs.

Eliminate back to backs reducing the season to 64 games or so.

Make the all star game meaningful by paying players on the winning team and paying players for defense.

No in season tourney. Raise minimum salaries and lower max salaries.

Some good ideas.
IDK about going down to 64 Games, though. Maybe back to just 72, might work out.

I personally like 82. Not a fan of planned asterisks so every longevity record would be safe now, but you might see per game numbers go up but with an asterisk. I think it's a bit of a catch 22 to point out how much better shape guys are in, take care of their bodies better and year round, and play longer careers but then think we need to remove games from the season. I think the NBA did a better job this year of unusual b2b's where it's like a mini-series between two teams to reduce travel with back to backs. If that wasn't a popular fix then just make any b2b's be for the home team only.

As a rule change I like 2 challenges and/or you keep your challenge after the 2nd one if you won the challenge. Just a tweak to how it currently is basically. I'd also like the moving picks to be called more as it's as bad or worse than the take foul stuff they made such a point of emphasis. I've heard Scal, and actually a few others, say picks will be removed from the game in the future and wasn't sure if he meant as a coaching strategy (which is crazy imo) or eluding to a potential rule change. Big picture I think eventually they'll need to widen the court some and at some point might need to consider moving the 3 point line back again. Also the L2M report is worthless except to piss fans off. Hold refs more accountable, aid them with technology somehow if you can, and be more transparent about it as well.
