1) Three point shot downgraded to 2.5 points.
2) You do not need a timeout to challenge, and you can keep doing it as long as you are correct.
3) Free throws downgraded from two shots to 1 + 1 to reduce the value of foul baiting. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

1 Allow verticality on the perimeter.
2 Get rid of touch fouls just because a player is diminutive.
3 Half court and the center circle should have to be very visible. Nobody knew which circle was the center court jump circle in the Knicks game and refs are missing back court violations.

Get rid of the foul out rule. Once a player has committed his sixth or greater foul, make the penalty two free throws plus possession for the other team, and include offensive fouls in that rule. If you really want to dissuade players from committing more than five fouls, you can let anyone on the other team shoot the free throws. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers
Adopt the international goal tend rule that lets players hit the ball after it has hit the rim, so long as they’re not actually knocking the ball out as it is actually passing through the cylinder. Maybe eliminate the corner three by making the three point arc a semi circle that terminates against the sidelines instead of a semi-circle with straight lines that terminate against the baseline.

More challenges? Nah, they need to get rid of challenges altogether because they mess up the flow of the game. Not to mention, it seems like far too often they can't get the call right even after taking forever to look at it in slow-mo.
All teams in the lottery. Playoff team percentages can be tiny, but just some outside chance that the anti-competitive waste of tanking sides could end up with nothing.

1) No more challenges but add a version of NFL's expedited replay assist where they overturn or confirm obvious calls quickly and efficiently.
2) This will never happen but the 4th quarter adopts the All Star game rule of a target score instead of 12 minutes (25-30 points on top of whoever's in the lead). I hate the foul fest at the end of games. I'd rather the teams duke it out on the floor.
No defensive 3 seconds would be huge. And take out the charge circle. Those 2 things would.be huge to get some defense back in the game. _________________ Previously CamReddish

Ban ppl from the league for faking fouls.
They've been trying for years. They put a permanent anti-flopping rule in the books a few seasons ago but, like traveling, it's rarely enforced. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant
No Corner 3s until team hits some kind of bonus. Maybe something like only after 6 fouls, the corner 3s become active. Otherwise, they are just normal 2s... Will force teams to maybe come up with 2 kinds of offensive sets. One when corner 3s bonus is active and non-active.

If you have three white guys on your team you start +20.

spicy. +5 bonus points per every additional cracker signed to a multi-year contract
+10 if you use a Hallmark Christmas starting lineup aka 4 honkeys. +15 if you start an entire confederacy (5)
+10 pts if the team's head coach is Steve Nash, but only +5 if it's Jason Kidd
Year 1 of this rule would be a ratings boon but verrry controversial. The eve of the trade deadline sounds like a 30-man Catan game, give me all your sheeps wool and wheat. The value of milk crickets skyrockets, becoming absurdly inflated with Franz Wagner signing a record $97 million 1 year contract. Commissioner Greg Kite replaces the dunk contest with a motocross event. Team owners congratulate each other for achieving diverse equitable inclusion. Finally, the white man is in power. Outraged, the NBAPA strikes after all-star weekend, resulting in cancellation of the rest of the season, and then inaugurates its own league: The New NBA. Old NBA changes its name to the Utah Jazz. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/
