[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1982443, member: 748116"] Hope it would be a simple majority vote. Some franchises don't want the pressure or expense of providing competitive rosters so they would be against Relegation. Because THEY would be the ones to go downward. Detroit as an old rust belt American city with a long roundball tradition should not have to suffer with a team like they have now. The Jordan Bulls teams (and those pre-Jordan) had some great games against the Pistons. Today, these games with them just have no energy and are a shell of what they used to be. NBA MUST greatly shorten the regular season. It has become a joke with 'load management' and stuff like that. Shorten the regular season and add more playoff games and rounds. That will get the energy up and the juices flowing. And more regular games will have more meaning than now to play for playoff seeding which will incentivize finishing higher in the standings (top teams get byes, etc.). Some aspects of the NBA are at a top level these days but other aspects are broken. And while the NBA has been progressive on some issues... they have not be on top of others needing attention. And teams that finish in the bottom three regular-season spots should be prevented from drafting the top three picks each season. Again, do not incentivize failure. They can be part of the lottery but disallowed to get the top three picks. Best they could get is #4. [/QUOTE]
