As for the tourney rewards…what are some realistic options? A couple hundred grand isn’t even motivating stars for things like the dunk contest or Allstar game. A million would be cool but the guys at the end of the bench who would benefit the most from that probably wouldn’t even get much playing time if any.
The only one that I can think of off the top is that the winner automatically gets home court advantage throughout the playoffs including Finals (if they make it to either). That would definitely get teams going and stop load management in November.
