NBA Thoughts.

Everyone complains it's broken yet nobody seems to have a solution. Even with the lottery balls teams still tank as hard as ever. Ask Ryan Gomes. I don't know where I got this idea, whether it be ESPN's or my own originally, but it seems logical.
Here's what it involves:
It's simple really. Take the teams that don't make the playoffs and rank them by records Prior to the All-Star break. That should take away any incentive to lose games that really don't mean much at the end of the season and give them no reason not to play hard. Well, let's be honest, less hard than they usually do. Pre-All-Star break records represent teams well enough to attain the supposed goal of parity.

The NBA will never go this far, since all it cares about is the top eight teams anyway. You want to know how to make the NBA better? Nothing to do with straight-to-the-pros rules or draft lotteries, and everything to do with cutting down the number of teams. The NBA is over-extended. Don't move the Sonics, ax 'em. I hate to say it but there should not be a team Charlotte or Atlanta. If a city hasn't supported a team EVER than get them the hell out of there. Guys like Mickael Gelabale have no business starting in this league and it makes me sick.
