The plan is too much for me. Too many teams. Too many players being potentially exposed. Just too much.
Go with either a ten or twelve team tournament. Get this thing over in six weeks once it starts. Minimize exposure and minimize the chance of injuring players for next season.
My twelve team tournament would include these twelve teams …Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, Rockets, Thunder, Sixers, Jazz, Mavericks, Nuggets, and Pacers.
There is no need for twenty-two teams or sixteen for that matter.
Plus, all of sport runs the risk of oversaturation with all of these tournaments in different sports taking place at the same time.
The PGA Championship starts next week. People are going to start getting back into the swing of watching real events again.
This NBA plan is way too much given all the various considerations.
Just have some fun and keep your fans entertained while not exposing too much risk.
