I think it’s the best way to motivate players to play well. It would incentivize even the older players who wouldn’t care as much about the money and would rather avoid injury.

Doesn’t mess up the 82 game format or record books and also provides some extra cushion for elite teams who may get injured later into the season.

What do y’all think?

      Which will be the peak interest of the cup, you can already tell most NBA fans do not care about it.

      NBA casuals might care, but even their interest is weaning. It’s just the regular season with an extra game, there’s not much to care about. The bracket games were all pretty bad except one of them.

      It’s the same as the division title. Cool when you win it, but you won’t care at all past that. At least with the division winner in the past, it was an auto 4th seed when the team won. Now it’s just a label on the team’s good season.
