The NBA is always up to something, and this time around, they may be looking to take a page out of the soccer textbook. Teams in both Europe and America have midseason tournaments, and that appears to be something the NBA is looking to implement.
The real issues here is going to come with getting teams to be competitive in it, especially considering injuries at that level are frequent.
It just doesn’t seem like something most would care much about unless there is a different feature to them. One suggestion I saw tossed out was games being at legendary parks like Rucker Park.
