Nba to consider a mid season season tournament

Nba is going to consider a mid season tournament similar to soccer according to Adam Silver. The Nba wants to try to get more excitement in the mid season and offer more than just the nba finals. The Nba wants the event to be in Vegas.

Here's a link

That's hard to wrap the brain around. They should worry about fixing the lottery first. Could be a great move if really thought out well. Not much you can take from soccer, but that would give one of the American main sports something totally different than all the rest. Give it a march madness flavor.

Sounds cool, everyone loves a trophy...  until you realize that there would be two championships in one season, which basically makes it worthless.  So, it's actually really DUMB.

 

Now, if they did like a FIBA tourney at the middle of the season each year, that would be interesting.

I repeat, why would anyone care?

Unless the winner of that tournament gets an automatic spot in either the Playoffs or the Draft Lottery, preferably the Lottery, then who cares? A trophy means nothing. The NBA doesn't need it's own version of the NIT.

Money. It's a way the NBA can get some more attention in the middle of the season and make more money. I'm not 100% sure what ideas they have planned but maybe when they say they want it to be like soccer maybe they can split players up into where they are from and put them on teams.

We know why the "NBA," sponsors, and media care, but why would anyone else care?

 

If I'm a team owner who is paying players, why would I want you to put them in an irrelevant tournament where they could be injured doing something that doesn't contribute to my team's wins? Same for me if I'm a player. If I'm a fan, I already have All-Star weekend, why would I need a publicity stunt like this?

 

But if my team could be guaranteed a spot in the NBA Draft Lottery if we win it, regardless of our record at the end of the year, then everyone would care. Everyone.

    • Most of the talk revolving around Baker's injury is speculation. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bucs have been gaming the injury report but Bowles has already been fired from one head coaching gig. He's decidedly mediocre at best as a head coach. I just don't want to see the Bucs upgrade. But if they do fire Bowles and hire a first time head coach I think things could get bumpy with Baker Mayfield at the helm sooner or later. As far as Coen it's still early. I remember when Brian Daboll was a hot name his first couple seasons with the Giants. Now he's unemployed. It's a marathon not a sprint. We're seeing less and less coaches with true staying power. Or at least certainly less that don't ultimately hit a wall by year 3 or 4. I don't think we're gonna see too many John Harbaugh's and Mike Tomlin's in the coming years. Too much outside noise and too little patience nowadays.
    • Frank what are you even talking about? He was the #1 QB in his high school class and the #2 overall recruit. Why would he be at a smaller school? Dude threw for dang near 5000 yards his sophomore season at Alabama with Jamison Williams and John Metchie. Good players but more speed than skilled. Maybe that's this dude's problem. Panthers keep bringing in big body WRs, but maybe he needs wiry fast guys instead.  CJ Stroud threw for over 4000 that season too. Care to look at his receivers?
    • You can blame DC or you can blame Bryce but reality is it’s both of them. Bryce is making the decision to check down so much but DC isn’t committed to the run 🤷‍♂️
