Last two items were stupid, first one I really didn't understand. What would the teams get from European football format? Also, does it means that teams from a single division will play against only teams from the same division (kind of like the Champions League group phase)? Because that would suck

For competition level the 3 changes are good, they all promote competition, and not sitting games load management, waiting for playoffs, tanking when trash teams just lose on purpose for high draft picks, etc

The negative is will ruin the 75 years of players records that we are always use as benchmark to compare new players, because amount of games will change, is a Jew idea forsure to have higher ratings more money

Not sure how will pan out exactly

Or no, I think I got it. The guy wants something like a FA Cup, one game per round knockout tournament where winner gets the trophy. That's pretty useless in NBA too because in European football it can be an entry ticket to lower ranked European tournament.

Ok, now it makes more sense. This way the games will be even more analytical and teams will be forced to hire more staff, but it can make teams more competitive in the long run. I suppose its around Thanksgiving when the most of the playoff teams are known or at least the amount of the teams that compete for the playoff spot diminishes so this mini-playoff can make it more exciting for the fans around the league to keep coming to the games.
