Every Change Coming To The NBA in 2024 

You’re reading this and not subscribed? I thought we were friends…

Steve Kerr wants that 72 game season so that his 73 win record can never be broken hahahah *he ain't slick*

The only thing is if they shorten the season most of the past records held will be impossible to break

They’re gonna fuck things up because of greed

As an old-timer, I'd love to see a team back in Seattle.

For mid seasons tournament, i think FIBA and NBA should work together to make a tournament for all teams from North America like equivalent of Euroleague

shot clock change and 4 point line are terrible ideas. The inseason tournament shortens seasons for teams that dont win it so it would still be theoretically possible for teams to break previous records but changing it to 72 makes it hard to compare with other all time teams and players in the future will complain about 72 being too long as well. Expansion teams seems interesting especially with the playin now a thing and how most teams have stars but the league already has a shortage of ultra talented teams which isnt a bad think but I think people are getting tired of some pretty mid championship teams in comparison to teams like the spurs, heat, big 4 celtics, shaq and kobe lakers, bull, showtime lakers and 80s boston celtics

You dont need a in season tournament . Bring DEFENSE back to the league and you ll draw more interest

82 games is not too many. If you shorten it to 72 then players will only play 55 instead of 65. All I keep hearing is that players today are more athletic and the sports science is so much better yet they can not stay healthy. Not to mention they play less back to back games than ever and they do not fly commercial anymore, they fly private and stay is the nicest hotels. The more accommodations you make the more they will want. Not to mention they get paid so much more than guys did back then, regardless of inflation. I don’t believe that a lot of players love the game, they love what the game gives them.

Jordan was 40 years old and played all 82 games his last year. Wilt played more than 48 min a game in 1962. Played every minute of every game. Guys make way more money than even Jordan did. They need to step up and play.--my opinion.

For a new team in Vegas, I think it’s gonna happen. We Have the Raiders for NFL, The Golden Knights for NHL, and now the A’s for MLB, all we truly are missing is a NBA team. It makes a lot of sense for us to have a NBA team out here since Vegas is expanding so much as a city, and getting so many professional sport teams out here now. I already go to the summer league every year, so having a regular season of NBA out here would be awesome!

How about bringing back defensive into the league.

4 trades per mid seasons. Maybe to stop Lebron teams from making 100 trades per season

Regular season length? Don't care. Load Management? Up to the individual teams. New Basketball. Garbage can that stupidity. 4 point line? Don't care. END the 2004 anti defense rule? YES

they should really just keep it as is and add more teams

The need to allow hand checking and defense!

If they shorten the season the players still gonna load manage, a lot of them just want the check

This is awesome content! It is highly informative! Nicely done!

I liked the video. Brings a lot to think about the game. Some of the changes aren’t surprising, but there are 2 potential changes that leaves me thinking. 1st, the shortening of the regular season , in itself doesn’t seem bad concerning the load management of the top players. But if you create a new mid season tournament , and still want to play your top players, then what does it change in terms of load management? Unless you use this new tournament to rest some of the top players and promote the less used ones. But then fan viewership and interest may be affected… 2nd, this new ball, I would love to test it, because even though they say it has the same bounce and weight of a regular basketball, it has holes! How does this affect the spin of the ball, and how more or less spin affect the stability of the ball moving through the air (therefore how would the aerodynamics of this ball, full of holes, work)

How about a 65 game season with 15 minute quarters? It would equal out to 3,900 total minutes vs the current 3,936. This would make many records still attainable and although players would be putting themselves at risk for a potential extra 12 minutes per game, they'd get to lace up 17 fewer times and have more recovery days between games, possibly even eliminating back-to-back games all together. I kind of doubt adding extra time in high intensity games is viable, but just a thought while watching this.

That draft age was strictly pushed by lebron for his son, im not gonna go back and forth about this😂

The problem with the in season tournament is that it counts for regular season. In soccer the multiple cups that are played during the normal season have no affiliation to the league standings.

Great video

The best way to end load management is to mandate a clause in every player's contract that takes away lots of money if they sit out without being deemed injured or too unhealthy to play. 72 games won't change anything.

If they simply reduce the Numbers of games like the leagues in europe, every game becomes way more important and the players are able to be at their peak in every game. I think they should reduce it to 45 games where they play a team from their conference twice and once a team from the other conference

Make the season 4 weeks longer, but keep the same amount of games.

A 4-point line would kill the NBA, there's already far too many 3-point shots taken. They also need to bring back defense in the NBA and allow hand-checking again.

5:10 , anyone notice that he put Ja when speaking about the shot clock 😂

The only change that could get me to watch the nba would be a fire ball appearing for a player after they makes 3 consecutive shots giving them the ability to jump to the rafters on dunks!

If the NBA wants more people to pay for a ticket or watch them on stream or cable: 1. Make LeBron James retire. 2. Fine players for flopping. 3. Let players enforce defense. 4. Make the 3 pointer worth 1 point. 5. Refs need to back off when players snap at each other. We love to see the tense rivalries we enjoyed back in the 80s and 90s.

Loving all of these

Can't wait for the moving basket!

A 72 game season is ideal tbh. I would honestly almost rather go lower but if it was too low records that were made in 82 game season would become almost impossible to break and you’d almost have to put an asterisk on every major NBA record in existence. 72 games would be reasonable though.

Man 10-15 on the roster are going to be balling out on the mid season tournament.

Shot clock is fine adding a 4 point line just gives me street ball or big 3 vibes msn leave that stuff to those other leagues or maybe do it in all star games

The mid-season tournament is ridiculous.

R.I.P. NBA

The 90's showed the way. The NBA's brand is on life support. I wouldn't let Fido watch it.

draft combine compulsivity will make 2k campaigns fun. don't think we've ever been in a combine before.

Woot, more games for stars to sit out. I also don't want a shorter season, make the season longer...

Just add a 1V1 to the All-Star Game. Also, all of these CONFIRMED changes are literally to make their BASKETBALL players play BASKETBALL all season like theyre SUPPOSED to do.

The game right now has a great mix of half court sets and transition play. I feel like the shot clock change would hinder teams that run a more set half court offense. Four point line feels pointless. Taking super long range jumpers rewards you already because teams arent defending you there. So if they want to shoot deep threes its a risk reward thing. If you add a four point line teams will just start jacking up bad shots too often. Also that new ball is the dumbest thing i have ever seen and everyone will hate it if they ever implement that thing into the league lol.

LeMeMeMe wants a shorter season so his records don’t get broken

Wow that smart clip in a Celtics jersey felt like a kick in the nuts. I miss him

1:36 looks like my school’s stadium, UNT!!

Wow what a lot of changes!

ya man in from vancouver and losing our team plus seattle was so brutal

The issue I see with a shorter season is that ticket prices will drastically increase in prices

The NBA, with all of these changes in the recent past and other changes that are coming down the pike, is making it very easy for a new basketball league to take over professional basketball in North America

I love the idea of an expansion! Albuquerque would love a team. The 4 point line and new ball are really bad ideas. Keep with the classics

I actually like the idea of a Cup, of course it won't be as prestigious as the Championship, but in 1 match anybody can beat anyone, so a team that wouldn't be in the title race can achive something.

The eligibility right out of high school, is specifically designed so LeBron can possibly play with both sons. I also wouldn’t mind seeing different uniforms for teams to wear at their choice instead of being regulated so many times a year. Also maybe the 4 point line rule is designed specifically for the legend of Steph to become more iconic than he already is. As for the reduced time clock to 2 seconds less, doesn’t really make a difference what so ever. Baseball pitching.. yes. Just my opinions.

Hopefully expansion is announced soon

I’d really like the all star weekened to be in the off season, I think there would be more defence if they knew they had some time to recover

Less games mean each game counts more, so this inherently leads to rethinking "load management." This would add to the possible reduction of injuries, thus helping to end this devious invention.

The league to lower the season to 1 game and players would still sit out

I would much prefer a specific area like a 4 point circle or square rather than a line. I think it would deter players from just jacking up 30 footers all game but still implement a 4 point shot. the real interesting thing will be fouls. If someone gets a 5 point opportunity thats a hell of a swing. would be very dramatic

The mid season tournament is the entire season I’m watching NBA for the first time in my life

That's interesting that LeBron feels like that way about the season length, I wonder if he'll still feel like that when he owns a team

In regards to one of these issues, if you are a fan, and you buy a ticket to see someone play basketball, you’re buying a ticket to see a basketball game much less a particular play. If someone is legitimately hurt, you wouldn’t be upset or bang your head on the wall because of it, but if someone is sitting out to take a rest, why should you be any less upset. The ticket is for the game and not for the player. Jayson Tatum could give less of a damn if he disappoints joe ticketbuyer from Minnesota when the Celtics come into town to play the Timberwolves because he wants to take a rest after he played three games in a row the previous week for 48 minutes apiece. I have a great idea on how to even out competition. I would absolutely get rid of the NBA draft lottery and do the following. : I would automatically give the NBA champion of that season the rights to select the number one draft pick with option to give their statistically best player to the last place team in the NBA or keep the pick. All those in the draft lottery, San Antonio won the right to pick first, the Pistons statistically were in last place, they couldn’t go wrong either way, but I don’t think teams would purposely tank for the purpose of getting the best statistical player on the championship team from the finals. (I get that most championship teams never want to change the chemistry of their team, but it would definitely give tanking teams something to think about.)

I feel like the NBA is gonna go global in the future don’t be surprised if you see a team outside North America soon

I've finally found your channel

an offseason tournament would be cool. no incentive, nothing crazy, just an elective thing, if you’re in the nba and bored in the summer and wanna give the fans a show, you show up.

As a 34 year old from western NY who never got to see the Braves play I’d kill to have them back. Sadly it’s never going to happen.

Put the line farther away but don’t implement a 4 point line

Seattle Super Sonics lets go!

Need to move the age up to 20 not move it back to 18.

Lowering the Draft age is a huge mistake. Many players don't work out and don't have a career in basketball even after being drafted. So, a kid with no college degree can have a much harder life. All player should be drafter after 21 years of age. That way they are physically bigger, have more court experience in college hoops and that will increase their chances of making the NBA once up for a draft pick. But, putting that carrot on front of an 18 yr. is pure selfishness by the NBA.

The All-Star games from the late '90s into the early 2000s were the best because those players still had pride

What is your source on the 4 midseason trades per team? I'm trying to find more on it but I'm struggling to find anything about that rule change.

I would like to see the all star game turned into a 3x3 game, 4-5mall star players a team, knock out tournament.

NBA should have fewer teams make the playoffs (12, 6 in each conference), and give 1st round byes to top 2 seeds in each conference. This would make regular season more competitive and keep teams fighting until the end of season (trying to get the bye). I think 82 games is the right number though.

Man it's going to be weird but at the same time fun

*With that new ball, I hope any Nba hopefuls don't have trypophobia*

Shorter season won't solve the load management. Load management itself is the cause of so many injuries. Because players rest so much, their body can't stay on a high level and can't adjust to playing hard. Paul George explained this well in one of his interviews based on his experience. And also, what about the rumor on giving technical fouls on players who flops?

if they do add these mid season tournaments ngl that would make 2k mycareer more fun

I'm more excited for an expansion than anything else, just so we can get teams in places like: - Vegas (obviously) - Seattle (again obviously) - Tampa (bias) - St. Loius (cause they've been disrespected for so long) - Pittsburgh (surprised there isn't one already) KC (considering its the birthplace of the sport) Kentucky (huge basketball state) - 2 more Canada team (Might as well get a major sports market advantage the MLB and NFL don't have)

One little pet peeve I've had about the league, specically the finals was that they didn't actually put the finals logo on the court, they rendered it using the cameras. I get it's a cool advancement in technology, but it shouldn't be too hard to employ a few employees to actually put the finals logo on the court. It's so inauthentic, and the people in the arena can't see it either. It also looks kind of stupid when it's rendered, as they fade in late sometimes, and they stick out.

4:29 Isn’t this like the current rising stars format?

I would love to script write for you guys. Where can I contact y’all?

In season tournaments will keep teams from tanking for a high pick honestly

Love Baseketball club

let the guys have some fun i think the all star game is a fun pause for the players

It would be cool to have a 73 game season. That way the record can still be broken without people having to argue “which team was better?”

ive thought about maybe a thing that can eliminate teams that have already lost enough games to be unable to make the playoffs. like when you hit 50 losses you dont play anymore games until the next season

If your favorite team is a contender then you’re likely in favor of load management because you likely care more about your team winning the title than having the stars out there each night. Shortening the season and maybe making it more difficult to get into the playoffs or at least to give the top seeds a bye might keep the stars on the floor more often.

Make all-star games more intense

If any city gets a team, Seattle is a lock. The commissioner has basically said so.

Players got to remind themselves not to bring politics or go on strike which sours it for the fans. The fans are the ones who really pay the players salaries. Keep the fans happy and the money will flow.

lowering the season length isnt going to stop load management lol it'll make it worse if anything

It's like an online game at this point they got patch updates every year smh

Casual basketball here: I just hope that at some point the diameter of the basketball rim is reduced because players are just too good at scoring triples and game is becoming so boring.

Seattle Sonics should be here

4 point line?! Curry got his eyes on those lines

Their going wild

Yeah

Las Vegas Lakers just wait on it

6:36 I miss the supersonics. Every state should have a team.

The best thing they can do is give the rights to every years 1st draft pick to the winning team of the tourney thing

What happens when people get hurt before the regular season? Some players dont even play often during the regular season 😂
