I think the problem is MUCH bigger than this. I think the NBA is overdone and over expanded.

How many games do they play a year, like 1000? How many months a year do they NOT play? 2 or 3?

And the talent is spread THIN. How many good players are on each team? 3 on average?

I think the NBA is too big and over expanded and the experience is watered down. Regular season games have less meaning because they play them by the dozen each week.

And look at the track record of the NBA of moving teams. New Orleans is already on its 2nd franchise along with Charlotte. Doesn't give you much confidence in the product.
