As a massive skeptic, I'm starting to see the vision. I heard some commentators/former NBA coaches say this would be great for up and coming teams or teams that haven't taken the next step yet. I can also see this as a big stepping stone nationally for some teams/players that aren't quite household names yet like Indiana/Haliburton, Minnesota/Ant and Sacramento/Fox.
We're tracking to have a mixture of those teams along with mainstays like the Lakers, Celtics and Bucks/Heat. That's a good early showcase for the league and helps raise the profiles of the league's future stars.
