The NBA appears to want to return to the Eastern vs Western conference teams format in the all-star team that were switched to team leaders and a draft in 2018.

The NBA also wants the game to be more competitive to push back against criticisms of lazy or no defense in the annual game and to raise viewership.

One way to up the stakes, put forward by fans is to give the winner HCA in the Finals. Fans would also like them to go back to wearing their own teams jerseys with all star patches.

What do you think?
 
Being that there are four rounds in the playoffs and If they are going to do the HCA rule, The NBA could decide each round by quarter? Just a thought.
 
The problem with the all star game can’t be solved by rules.

The generation of players don’t give a shit. You can’t change that.

Fuck the HCA bullshit. Earn it as your own team or GTFO.

At first I thought it would kind of a neat idea, but what about a team that had zero all stars, and made it to the finals with a better record, but didn't host it because of something they had no control over?
 
Make it a four team tournament over All-Star weekend. There are too many great players that get snubbed under the current system. Guys might actually play some basketball if they knew their team might get eliminated on Day 1.

Well they would in theory have an easier path since the stars teams they beat lost to the other conferences stars.
 
Id go back to East vs West.

Fine with HCA but don't really care.

I do think they should reseed each round. Makes regular season more important.

Yup I’d love to see a mini tournament.

Mid-season tourney, all-star tourney, sounds like special olympics, everyone gets a trophy.

Why can't you be happy with our Summer League championship?

All about marketing, fandom & hope w/ playoffs & tourneys.

How would they reseed each round?

Rearrange the matchups based on existing seeding, like the NFL does. For example, Denver would have played the Lakers in the 2nd round, with Phoenix going against Golden State.

I don't understand the benefit of this.

I just want US vs the world. Keep the same selection process as currently in place, except the 11th and 12th players in each conference would be utilized to ensure proper balance between the two sides. World team is coached by whichever ASG coach has the highest-vote-getting INTL player.

It was arguable that the 2 best teams remaining in the west in the 2nd round faced each other in that round (in the East too, with Boston and Philly). Rearranging the seeds supposedly makes it more likely to get the best possible matchup in the CF.

Obviously, the way Miami and LA have played in these playoffs undercuts that argument, but they are anomalies, not the rule.
 
GMs have to be in the position for a minimum amount of time and have to stay in the position for a minimum amount of time after the game.
