I would vote for 3 point goal tending, that would be hard to ref since the defender may not see it is a 3 pointer.
What about a 4 point line?

Cup was a bad idea regardless. It has no meaning/relevance and trying to force it won't

That would result in even more 5-out- not sure if that is what we want.

How? It would make defending the perimeter easier and may require teams to

Maybe less games so "load management" isn't such a thing anymore. Maybe adjust rules back so a bit more defense

Nobody will give up their "bag" so you can't reduce the number of games. Greed

Unfortunately, you're right, but also, if viewership declines enough, that would spell less money and they'd have to

Bring back defense

Biggest myth is that they don't play defense in NBA. They do.

Limited defense though. The current/recent rules encourage more offense

I will keep saying it. Need at least one more tier of value for buckets.

That’s actually kind of interesting…I do wonder how it would impact rim attempts

Lots of different ways you could implement. Idea would be to have similar

It’s a tough job, but the officiating is awful. No consistency at all.

NBA ratings are obviously down. That isn't debatable. But I don't think

Players are more important than the team. The NFL is the opposite. Need to make
