I think they should widen the court.

TP I agree with that.

Yes, this would make the game better I think.  Make it wide enough so you could play pick and role in the corner like you do not at the high post.  It would all a lot more options to offensive sets and I think result in more ball movement.

So, GS wins 3rd Championship in 4yrs.  The NCAA in hot seat for under-the-table back door sponsoring.  Too much of "potential" guessing on draft night.


League eyeing solution:
1. Hard cap
2. Expansion (water down league)
3. Allowing High School kids to enter draft

I was expecting the exact opposite:
1. Keep soft cap
2. Go down to  say...22 teams from 30
3. Raise age limit to  Sophomores....or two years removed from High School.

Personally, I don't mind the flexibility of a player going where ever he wants to go.  I don't think it would be such an issue if the league as a whole was smaller and therefore more competitive - or if the draft was packed with proven prospects.

Thoughts?

Thing is, they were never going to reduce the teams by 25-30%. That would mean owners voting to put other owners out in the cold. This would almost certainly never happen.

If anything, they would expand the league. More revenue.
