A Modest NBA Proposal

                Despite my previous post I must admit this season has been a little dry. Perhaps, it’s the numerous injuries… Anyways, I had this idea that would revolutionize the NBA: take away some teams. The reason why the NBA isn’t that exciting to anyone except hardcore fans is simple—too many scrubs. That’s been a problem for the longest time; if we have less teams and shorten the season a bit then the NBA will be a lot more popular and more fun to watch.

                Let’s face it, some franchises will never win a championship. Cough cough Raptors! Grizzlies! Kings! Jazz! Seriously, how long does it take a franchise to rebuild? There are way too many talented players who are stuck in hopeless teams and there are plenty of talented players on hopeful teams but they just won’t make it.

                I know that a lot of people will get pissed off if the NBA were to eliminate some teams but they’ll get over it. You think Lil’ Jimmy in Milwaukee gets excited when Daddy gets tickets to the Bucks game?  Do you know how many teams are under 500 right now? 18 teams out of 30. The league could use some trimming. We only have to get rid of 4 teams. That should make things more competitive, too many no name dudes are in the NBA right now. You know when a player is a nobody when he has generic face features in 2K.

                I know this will never happen but it’s food for thought. You know this is a good idea.
