What’s the point of a in season tournament

Like it makes sense in College Basketball cause there’s 300 D1 teams so you got multiple tournaments during the holiday season. I don’t see the benefit of it in the NBA
Easy optics. The league has to make it seem like they’re trying to address the load management issue to TV Right bidders and they believe the tournament is a way to do that.

Buh buh buh …I thought the team owners were going to “teach the out of control players a lesson” and that the players were “ruining” things for future generations of players :damn: what happened to all of the fear mongers and c00n babbling? Where did they go

Tv partners haven’t had a say yet but common sense tells you the money is too good and too guaranteed to change anything and players and owners are happy to scam the fans in that regard

No since these dudes half ass in games, sit out when healthy and generally have a dont give a fukk atritude about playing

When they play 100% full bore in the Drew league or other off-season shyt the paying fans can’t watch, that’s a spit in the face of all their fans. They don’t give a fukk

Kind of a "boring" CBA because they didn't touch the one and done.

Contract extensions being incentivized over free agency signings means we'll be seeing a lot more roster turnover due to teams playing hardball in contract negotiations.

Vet players are already complaining about how young & inexperienced some locker rooms are, I don’t think they’re motivated to make the league even younger

I still think part of that is these kids are better suited to playing in the modern league and we’re seeing more one-sided guys not finding spots on teams like they use to.

Most these kids are two way players and their outside shots aren't completely broken. That wasn't the norm even 10 years ago.

They have the same style tournament in the WNBA, but of course the cash prize means more in that league.

It's almost like the NBA is an international league and doesn't need to depend solely on U.S. viewers to make bank.

But that can't be right because the way some posters act, only the U.S. really matters.

This is still pointless. So you play your conference rivals back to back..... And then what?
