A players' load management schedule is likely set by the training staff when the schedule is released. I think being more transparent with that would lead to some good faith among fans.
I think leaning into the off court storylines would be a horrible move. Twitter interactions are meaningless. Even with the big trade deadline, more people watched this Super Bowl than all six games of last year's NBA Finals combined. Fans aren't stupid. Give us real, insightful analyis on pre/postgame shows instead of Chuck & Shaq making fun of each other. NFL coverage does a good job breaking down X's & O's
The NBA also has an identity issue with teams getting new courts & uniform sets every season. Turn on a game & you could see the Suns in blue against the Wizards in pink. Nike would never give up the revenue but at least sticking with a team's primary colors would help a bit IMO.
