In Europe is there an 82 game season since the year 2003 every round of the playoffs went to best of seven where to win the championship you need 16 wins.
Add in the play in which could be 1 to 3 games (7 vs 8 then 9 vs 10 then another game between the losers) which don’t even count stats wise
Also is there game minimums required for rewards these guys have to play at minimum 62 games
This upcoming season was supposed to be the first season without any of the weirdness from COVID like the shortened seasons and the rushed break between them because the last two seasons were bumped up the 2022 season started 9 weeks (two months) after the 2021 season remember the players wanted to start the season on MLK day in Honor of MLK but it was started in October (the condensed schedule had went against CBA rules where teams were playing games with as low as 12 hour turnarounds)
2012 they did away with division leaders having the playoff seeding advantage
fukk Adam Silver
If the league can pay Dame 55 million a year (in 2026 he will make 63 million a year) how much are these owners really making especially considering how every year they make changes to the CBA like how now there’s a double luxury tax system and shorter contracts it’s too much fukkery they doing
There has not been a repeat champion since the KD Warriors so yes they have manipulated the mechanisms of the league too much
Last season they started to give out conference MVPs
Winning team their players get 500,000 when we talking about multi millionaires so it’s really all for nothing
u know a team would go all out to try and win the tourney and then no gaf till playoffs lol
Yall saying alot for one extra game only two teams will play 
You are comparing change of game rules to an extra trophy. Come on now...
Do you watch summer league where there's a champion and mvp? Do you pay attention to preseason records?
In Europe this model works because in some countries at best there are couple teams that make it to biggest European leagues, so an extra local tournament is good for others teams to have more competitive games against legit teams. Like for example in Spain there are teams that would love an extra game against Madrid Real or Barcelona, if possible. And beating those teams for any kind of trophy would be huge for smaller budget teams.
For example, this year in Spanish Copa del Rey, the top 8 teams played each other in one game elimination format. The team that's not in actual Euroleague, Unicaja Malaga, did beat both Real and Barcelona. That was huge for a team that wasn't participating in the biggest European league.
In NBA model, every team has exact same amount of games and every team has a chance to compete against each other team.
I'd rather see a tournament where some NBA teams try competitive games against the best of Euroleague.

$500k is trash incentive
It's fine for players but need something more enticing than that for fans
Like they literally said the final doesn't count for anything at all. It's an extra game that doesn't even have stats recorded. Why should I care they won some trophy they just made up yesterday?
I really like the idea of the winning team gaining an extra lottery pick, even if it has the lowest odds it adds some spice to it.
Guaranteeing home court or even a playoff spot is way too much though
No chance NBA let's any teams field bullshyt like that out for this tournament

I've already had my fill of that trash in Summer League (not those specific players, just the very low level of basketball being played in Summer League)Because people will tune in in droves to see Justin Champagnie and Scotty Pippen Jr. ball out of control

Because the victories (And losses) during the season counts towards the regular season record(s).Why are you connecting the in season tournament with the post season to begin with when the results of the two have nothing to do with each other
The in season tournament is the i season tournament the post season is the post season …I didn’t think this would be such a hard concept for layman’s to comprehend lol
Yall tryna make it seem like this tournament breaks the season down into two different seasons or leagues or as if this in season tournament is some type of preseason shyt.
If you don't get in then you don't get to use that. Right now there's zero stakes to this thing for fans. They're doing this and talking about being excited but they haven't explained why fans should care. The common fan just gonna wonder why they should care about this when it doesn't change anything from their perspective. There needs to pe a prize fans see some value in.
So basically it's just regular season games. No need for this then. They clearly want fans excited for this to make it a big event. Players getting a $500K prize won't do that.
I mean if they don't care if the fans care and are just doing it for the players that's different but I think we all know they want this to blow up and they haven't came up with a reason for that to happen.
That pick can also obv be flipped for a superstar player. I could see LeBron wanting to use a pick like that to say “go get Harden” or someone that might shake loose for a lotto pick. Would it aid in building more super teams? Sure! But that’s what the league is allowing so might as well lean fully into it
