Nba is going to consider a mid season tournament similar to soccer according to Adam Silver. The Nba wants to try to get more excitement in the mid season and offer more than just the nba finals. The Nba wants the event to be in Vegas.

Here's a link

That's hard to wrap the brain around. They should worry about fixing the lottery first. Could be a great move if really thought out well. Not much you can take from soccer, but that would give one of the American main sports something totally different than all the rest. Give it a march madness flavor.

Sounds cool, everyone loves a trophy...  until you realize that there would be two championships in one season, which basically makes it worthless.  So, it's actually really DUMB.

 

Now, if they did like a FIBA tourney at the middle of the season each year, that would be interesting.

I repeat, why would anyone care?

Unless the winner of that tournament gets an automatic spot in either the Playoffs or the Draft Lottery, preferably the Lottery, then who cares? A trophy means nothing. The NBA doesn't need it's own version of the NIT.

Money. It's a way the NBA can get some more attention in the middle of the season and make more money. I'm not 100% sure what ideas they have planned but maybe when they say they want it to be like soccer maybe they can split players up into where they are from and put them on teams.

We know why the "NBA," sponsors, and media care, but why would anyone else care?

 

If I'm a team owner who is paying players, why would I want you to put them in an irrelevant tournament where they could be injured doing something that doesn't contribute to my team's wins? Same for me if I'm a player. If I'm a fan, I already have All-Star weekend, why would I need a publicity stunt like this?

 

But if my team could be guaranteed a spot in the NBA Draft Lottery if we win it, regardless of our record at the end of the year, then everyone would care. Everyone.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
