Eliminate the fans. All they do is complain.

Make the 24 seconds start when a player gets the ball out of bounce after a basket. At the same time start the 8 second count

I'm surprised that this got the highest Votes:
(Reform Shooter Initiated Fouls – to be Offensive Fouls.)

Followed by.
(Eliminate Back-to-Backs.) & (Decrease the number of Regular Season Games Played.)

There are some other good ideas, and I'm sure that more will develop, as things in the NBA change.

Very simple, amount of regular season games is fine but it needs to be condensed
Starting a playoff series in June is ridiculous
How many fans lose interest?
Play Series to eliminate travel and less days off can be obtained

Far as playoffs, first round should be best of 3 all 3 games played at higher seed
Second round best of 5 with a 2 1 2 format
Conference Finals and Finals best of 7
Playoffs have become stale, with Teams quitting on games knowing there are many chances still to advance
Make for a better competition and more competitive

In game, eliminate corner 3 , move back 3 point line
Running clock except for fouls and timeouts
I would look into a 30 second shot clock to possibly eliminate teams launching 3’s at will

Interesting.
I think that the NBA court size should be decreased.

The larger the court, the less smarts and more athletic reliant the game is.
It will also make the players take less thress.
