At present more and more teams are designing their offense to launch record numbers of 3s or drive to the rim. This coupled with the rules prohibiting what used to be good defense has turned the game into a glorified game of Horse IMO. You can have a dominant player like Giannis or Harden or Lebron drive to the rim for a high percentage shot at the rim, and if double teamed kick out a pass for the equivalent of a fast break with 3 defenders trying to defend 4 shooters spaced around the 3 point line.
The root of this "problem" is that there is an intrinsic mathematical advantage to this strategy. One has a roughly 20% advantage on each shot compared to a midrange shot. For example consider rough numbers to illustrate the point: 40% x3 (three point shot from a good shooter), or 60% x2 (layup) or 75%x1x2 (FTs for fould on missed layup) meaning somewhere between 1.2 and 1.5 pts expected on a possession. This is contrast to roughly 1 point expected on a possesion for a midrange shot (50% x 2). In addition, this approach further favors teams that take more shots over the course of the game (both from a statistical sense, and from strategy if you believe racing up the court makes it tougher for the defense to align properly). So any rationale actor would continue to have his team race up the court and launch 3 pointer or drive for layups all game long
If you like that style of play then there's no need to change anything.
However, if you prefer older style of play consider the following. Imagine if the 3 point line was more of a gamble rather than an intrinsic advantage. To do this, all that's needed it to alter scoring
A three point shot becomes worth 5 points, and a typical bucket is worth 4 points. In this situation the expected points per possession are roughly equal (2 points per possession) In this case there is no intrinsic advantage. it becomes more of a gamble for example if you need to catch up, or perhaps to try and pull away.
Alternatively, you could turn on the 3 point shot only later in the shot clock, e.g., last 5 or 6 seconds. This would reduce the number of possessions in the game mitigating the scoring advantage some from a statistical sense, plus make the defensive strategy more interesting.
IMO we need to do something
