Adam Silver talks player contracts, out of pocket fans, in-season tournament
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
That goofy SAS couldn't wait to go on another bootlicking rant about the players being crushed by the owners in the next CBA...that c00n is obsessed with carrying white daddies water even with Adam Silver clearly not pushing any hyperbolic buttons off that shyt is disgusting...that nikkas constant shucking makes me sick 
in-season tourney happening sooner rather than later... probably a December event
I don’t get how that’s going to prevent teams from tanking unless they give an incentive that teams can’t pass up. Money isn’t it with the contracts flowing around the league.

In-season tournament is a retarded gimmick

Only the US sports leagues don’t have this
Meanwhile the playoffs are not done around most of the world and that can be seen as a gimmick.

If the in-season tournament is just normal regular season games that are designated as 'qualifying' games during the first half of the season, its an interesting idea. You then have the top 16 record/point teams advance to the tournament, but then you have so many questions in regards to scheduling in a way that makes sense.
When does the tournament take place? (expand the all-star break period to incorporate tournament games before all-star weekend)
What are the non-tournament teams doing while tournament teams are playing? (are they getting longer breaks and somewhat benefitting because of that)
How do you schedule games and ensure that there's balanced schedule for every team the entire year? (I think last season because of COVID the league held off on announcing 2nd half of the season scheduling so maybe it does that).
Maybe there's someone in the league office that can make it work, but then the incentive for winning will have to be significant enough for players (not necessarily the organization like lottery balls in the draft lottery).
Should be a top 10 pick imo
how about a an odds booster ? would fight tanking..
what's about another 5-10 million to facilitate a move to the chip
u could use it for anything.

Stern woulda paid off a ref or something, he'd never let his league look like this
