A.) Expand the league by two teams and put 16 teams in each conference - East / WestIt also decreases revenue by 20%-25%. It also makes career records from previous eras impossible to break.
If they can just shave off like 4 or 5 games to eliminate back to backs then that is probably a better equilibrium.

No idea how I forgot about Banchero… yeah that should be a nice trio… just wonder if they go the patient route.The Magic would be making the trade to build around Don/Banchero. If they were able to keep Wagner as well a trio of Donovan/Wagner/Banchero would be a very, very solid foundation of a high level scoring guard, do it all wing, and a young big with superstar potential.
I’d do that… not sure if Orlando is game but they might be super high on Banchero and think they can be a playoff team immediately. I’d work in a swap with the Philly 2023 pick on the Orlando 23 pick if possible.Jazz receive: Jalen Suggs, Wendell Carter, Jonathan Isaac, 2023 1st (via CHI), 2024/2026/2028 1st (via ORL)

Do this ****ing trade. I don’t want the Knicks to be good, time for Ainge to drop the no dice hammer on them. They want to try to flex their muscles on us? They really going to miss out on Mitchell because they aren’t Will to give RJ, AND GRIMES!!! I get the hesitancy to not wanting to trade RJ, but GRIMES, give me a ****ing break!! Even if we have to keep Mitchell this year. We absolutely don’t need to trade him this year.Jazz receive: Jalen Suggs, Wendell Carter, Jonathan Isaac, 2023 1st (via CHI), 2024/2026/2028 1st (via ORL)

Part of me wanted to settle for a Knicks "B" package... but I might rather take another teams package even if it is like 5-`10% less as a big FU to the wildly arrogant Knicks fans.Do this ****ing trade.

Don’t think that’s 100% trueIt's been reported multiple times that the Jazz don't want RJ. They don't want to have to pay him when he's due for an extension.

Maybe not now, but at one time they did.Oh, but it is. Jake Fischer, Tony Jones and others have reported that the Jazz don't want RJ.
