Silver called it a “miss” and will explore other ways to make the all-star game more exciting.

How bout play top East vs West players. No picking BS. And get rid of circus music acts. Have skills contest for G League at halftime. Just announce starters like normal maybe use players pick of song.

Can he build a time machine and go back to the 90s when players were better?

The money and investment, nobody wants to go play hard. Not worth it when there is little to no gain.

How about East vs West with the players actually earning their spots instead of fan voting.

None of this will ever be fixed or improved until the calendar changes. The All Star weekend is way too late in the season, but they refuse to actually put it at the midway point because that's the middle of the NFL playoffs. Guys use the break to actually rest and don't try because it's right before the home stretch of the regular season.
Start the season around Thanksgiving, put the all star game in early March before March Madness and have the season last until July.
I also don't think format matters at all. East-West, captains, none of it will work. the only thing that'll work to make the game more competitive is putting more money on the line for the winning team
If Silver refuses to do this with the calendar then it's almost a certainty that the next media deal is going to be worth less than the one they just signed

It won't get fixed because the players don't give a shite. When you fully guarantee someone $60M in one year, they have no incentive to try. This shows every day in the NBA.

It's so easy.
United States vs everyone else.
Want the game to matter?
The international talent as a whole is slightly better than the US. Would be very competitive

Most of the USA players would start making their postgame club plans after they fall behind 16-5 at the first TV timeout.
