It's a pointless idea.

What's the point of winning this In-Season Tournament, when the main goal is the NBA Finals?

Example: Let's say the Pelicans win this In-Season Tournament.

Later on in the season they become a 4th seed in the playoffs, they get swept by the Clippers......Winning that In-Season Tournament becomes useless.
Depends on how that fan base feels.

pelicans fans know damn well they’re not a title contender so I highly doubt they’d react to that situation the same way the celtics would

49ers..Braves..Celtics
He's being either ignorant or just dishonest by comparing it to the tournaments in Europe.

Yeah basically. Those tournaments are filled with literal crosstown rivalries that have been going on for 100 years and more importantly all of the lower level teams are allowed to play. There's literally mechanics and farmers and shyt playing against top tier professionals. When an upset happens it's like...oh shyt....

Why would fans care about players winning money? they have to come up with a better prize than that


And why does it feel like the NBA is the only league that has problems with players giving effort and choosing not to play.
Facts.

A player "gettin' that bag" never had an impact on my life. A lot of clowns lose sleep over these players' contracts:mjlol:

I don't think the goal is to replace the NBA finals or have the players treat this trophy the same as winning a Larry O'Brien.

League just wants more eyeballs on the games during the regular season. Teams that make it to the SF & Finals in Vegas gonna care more than a random Friday night regular season game against Orlando. Fans will too.

The NBA Convention is a good idea but they need to make it way better.


Get the folks that throw Culture Con to put it on.


And have a music and arts festival element.

NBA getting rid of the importance of division title seeding fukked up the regular season and this was stated before it was done.
1. That was a Stern idea
2. That was because the 06 Clippers had the 3rd best record in the west and had to play a Denver team who was in reality the 7th or 8th best team.

Hell look at the southeast division this year.

They need to give more incentives.


Maybe a trade exception or an extra roster spot or something that helps the winner be more competitive for the remainder of the season.

4 NBA teams in Vegas at the same time sounds like all-time fukkery potential, good and bad

Imagine if this happened in the 80s with everyone on drugs :wow:

The games counts towards season wins and losses.
so if you make it to the final 8 and lose in the first game you getting nothing but an extra loss on your record? and will there be more than 82 games for these teams records? :picard:


they should have made some of this more clear instead of having malika andrews spend 30 seconds dancing with thejabbawockeez what a trash special :mjlol:

For the team that wins the in season tournament each player gets 500k.

Yeaaaaaaa they gonna have to up the ante for future iterations of the tournaments if thats ALL they’re offering.

They should guarantee each player $1 Million plus a guaranteed playoff spot for the winning team. Maybe something a little extra for whoever gets named tournament MVP (Are they even doing Tournament MVP?)
