Interested to hear thoughts/comments on an in-season NBA tournament. Is there a way to have one and it be worthwhile?

Would be retarded. An 82 game regular season + 5-30 extra playoff games is already a lot. These teams and players don't need to play anymore meaningful basketball games. 100+ games is a ton as it is.

I assume you mean like soccer. It would work if the regular season was 30 games. It works in soccer because the regular season is like 28 games with no playoffs and then the 2-3 cups (5-10) extra games total.

Can't work in basketball.

Tournament against who?

NBA teams will be prohibitive favorites versus any team in the European leagues.

So it'll be pointless. And no way the players' union will agree to it.

The Bill Simmons Entertaining As Hell Tournament is the only mid-seasonish tourney that would be worth watching.

I kind of like the idea of the end-of-season scrub tournament held over a Friday/Saturday/Sunday to determine who gets the #8 seed in each conference. Might be kind of fun, and it's only a maximum of three extra games.
