Is this the dumb ideas thread? I've got plenty:


NBA
Problem: Games becoming a stop-start free throw fest when a team reaches the foul limit.
Solution: Power plays! Every foul over the limit results in 40 seconds where the fouling team has to play with four men.

Problem: Tanking
Solution: That tournament idea that was floated around, but instead of doing it for the 8th seed do it for draft seeding. Have a week between the regular season and the playoffs. The two teams with the worst record get a bye for the first round (a guaranteed top six pick). Winner of the tourney gets the first pick, runner up the second and then you keep going down each round with worst record being the tie breaker (so out of the two semi-finalists, the one with the worst record gets the third pick).

Problem: Outside of WC or Euro years there are no interesting sports on from June-September

Solution: Move NBA season up so it starts in December and ends in early August.
