NBA Cup Winner should get an automatic playoff spot. Y/N?

[SubZeroDegrees]

You get the NBA cupno different than Carabao lol

NBA Cup = Mickey Mouse Cup

UK Brehs, I said it right

 

[Nero Christ]

I saw were you typed out lose millions of dollars for no reason by cutting the schedule. And for that reason. I'm out

If they want these NBA Cup games to differentiate themselves, then some changes to the regular season will have to be made to make them different.

I really don't see the point of this tourney, only thing you get is $$ if you win

They taking it back to HS league where you have that Xmas tournament mid season.

Also NCAA be having some random tournaments too

Money is motivation and I’m sure there’s gonna be some type of bonus

2 extra games. The semi and the finals

No, the semi final will count toward the regular 82 games. The final will be a 83rd game that won't count toward the season.

No because the winner would just relax rest of the season. If there is some major incentive, it should be homecourt advantage in the final, even that I might not agree with but the automatic spots are just too much.

How will they do that if the schedule is predetermined?

Have it just be active as long as their record is top 4 in their conference.

Then leave them like they are currently and keep the same money and let the people complain. Losing money overall should never be part of the decision making

 

[Juggalo Fred]

They should make the finals

 

[StatUS]

How will they do that if the schedule is predetermined?

They only scheduled 80 games initially. Games will be flexed based on the tournament apprently.

There's nothing they can do to make the regular season matter. They've already pushed the championship or bust narrative. You already had two play in teams in the conference finals and one went to the finals.

 

[El Bombi]

Adam Silver will end up being a WOAT.

He just can't leave well enough alone.

 

[MikelArteta]

this crap will be cancelled in two years

Do every team in the tournament play the same number of games? If not, I'd purposely lose if I was one of the title contenders and save the wear/tear.
