NBA Cup: A proposal for a better tournament
Early returns on the NBA Cup, originally known as the In-Season Tournament, have been mixed. Some fans have seen it as a breath of fresh air while others see it as superfluous at best, and tedious at worst. The crazy court designs for NBA Cup games have likewise been divisive.

However…
We think there are things they could do differently to make the NBA Cup more interesting.
Below, we break down our proposal to make the NBA Cup a better, more exciting event.
