I think the World Cup idea to finish the NBA season is dead sexy.

Groups. Everyone plays everyone twice. Top teams advance to the tournament.

Love it. Love it.

And bring in relegation! Yes, that's my solution for every sports league. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast May 27, 18:45 11
- It won't work for us. There aren't 20 teams filled with talented players to have another league where teams can move up and down from. -- (edited) - Krusty May 27, 20:54
- Yes! -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 27, 20:48
- The Clippers will be relegated to the MLS. -- nm - Mop May 27, 19:14
- How does relegation affect players? If a Tier 1 team wants a player on a Tier 2 team, can they recruit them? Or can players only move between teams - TWuG May 27, 19:10 6
  - Contracts are bought and sold. -- nm - Reagen May 27, 19:15 5
    - Obviously the system works, but I bet the US leagues could find a way to set it up - TWuG May 27, 19:18 4
      - It would require a fundamental rework of the whole system. Not to say it couldn't be done, but you can't just set up tiers and call it a day. -- nm* - Reagen May 27, 19:21 3
        
        It would be nearly impossible to do. -- nm - Krusty May 27, 20:49 2
        
        You'd have to tear it down and rip up the minors. It would also mean an end to college sports. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 05:55 1
        
        It would be such a major change for so many teams, businesses and cities that it's DOA as an idea. It would have needed to be set up long ago. - Krusty May 28, 06:18
