After thr Man City ref controversy today, i wondered why the nba doesn’t implement an “advantage” rule.
The NBA wanted to discourage fastbreak fouls with a take foul, but that still stops the fastbreak. Instead the refs should play advantage until the fastbreak is hindered by the foul and asses the take oul anyway after.
Also the goaltending rules can be a bit harsh for the defense, the backboard goaltending call should be erased, most of the time you don’t know if it even has a chance to go in.

Tried watching nba with my girlfriend, we both agreed that there’s too many free throws. No more foul baiting bullshit. (Watched suns warriors where they shot like 76 free throws combined) it was hard for even me to watch but can’t imagine a casual fan watching it.

Drones handling jump balls, refs fuck them up over half the time.
Asshats would bring their own drones and laser pointers
IST should be quarters won instead of point differential. You dont need teams running up the score for no reason.
- You can re-sign players that you acquired on draft night for any amount of money, but if it’s above the max, it only counts as a max contract on your cap. If the player is traded, their salary reduces to the max. This means that a superstar player gets a bonus for staying with their original team, but loses the bonus if they get moved. You can’t make them lose the bonus only if they request a trade, because then players would be encouraged to sandbag without formally requesting.
- Add an Ironman Award for the player who plays the most minutes in the regular season.
- Switch the other statistical awards, like the scoring title, to total points instead of points-per-game.
- Pay players per game that they actually play, prorated to 70 games so they can make above their original salary if they play more than that. Give them injury insurance that kicks in if they are unable to play more than 50 for legit medical reasons and compensates them to that amount.
- Make penalties for flopping, flagrant fouling, accrued technical fouls etc cumulative throughout the player’s career. So dirty players can either stop or be out of the league completely within a few seasons.
- Let the Euroleague champions, the #1 NCAA Team, a group of streetball players who win a national tournament, or the WNBA champions (gender equality / entertainment) play against each other and have the top two play against the top two NBA teams left in the Semi-Finals In-Season Tournament Final. With the same cash award available to them ($500,000 per player) if they beat the NBA teams and win the Finals.
- Make the worst team in the NBA have lesser odds of getting the #1 pick then the second, third and fourth worst teams. That would be the end of tanking.
i really like all of those. the last one is great. never seen that from all the pundits trying to avoid tanking. seems so obvious once i read it. still helps bad teams, but at least gives them something to “try” for. nice list!
It would still promote the 10th worst team to throw their remaining 10 games to improve draft odds which is the bulk of tanking’s problems
i get that side, but seeing the bottom 3 teams scrambling to not be last is amusing to me. it’s like not getting picked last in a pick-up game. breathing that sigh of relief being picked 2nd to last is nice. or so i’ve been told…
