3 months agoThey can already sort of do this. If a team that is on the bubble of the play-in game wants to get better before the deadline, they can trade their lottery balls. It’s essentially the reverse of top-4 protected. The other team has a 99% chance of ending up with nothing, but they also just upped their chances of hitting by a little bit.
Just have a favorite east and west team. I grew up a Heat fan, but around early Grizzlies grit n grind era one of my friends got a job for the Grizzlies so I really started following then as my favorite team. Now I like both and the odds of them developing a rivalry is tiny.
