early this mourning and they were taking calls on from people about things they would change in sports if they were in charge.

And one guy came up with an Idea about any player who has been with a team for 5yrs or longer. A % of his salary shouldn't count against the cap allowing teams to keep the prized players they drafted. And I thought that was a pretty damn good idea.

Also the little Mike had and Idea about there being only 4 playoff teams in each coast for the NBA. To eliminate teams with subpar records from making the playoffs. And allowing the teams with the best records who didn't make the playoffs have the best chances at the #1 pick.

While I don't know if I like Mike's Idea about 4 playoff teams. I agree with his focus which is on improving the competition factor to make the NBA strictly about winning. Because it doesn't seem like its about winning to every organization and player.

I think the age limit for the NBA draft is gonna help out a lot in the long run as well.

Stern is a moron, because he wants to add more teams to the postseason, because he knows that what sells his league. But if there were less teams in there, the regular season would matter alot more. Also he should create 2 leagues in the NBA. A senior league and junior league like in baseball. Where you have older teams on the original league and newer/expansion teams in the junior league. It was something that was discuss when the ABA was merged with the NBA but Stern wanted no part.

that % idea not counting is a damn good idea.

I don't like little Mikes idea about a 4 team playoff but I do agree with what he is saying.

I thought changing the first round from a best of 5 to a best of 7 was terrible.

I think the playoff format is good except for the 7 first round games. 5 was much better. NBA hoops is a playoff sport. Baseball is a regular season sport. NBA playoff basketball is just the best. Its like March madness only the best players in the world.
