I wouldn't be surprised if they are selling to the players that way too. "You and your family can enjoy Disneyworld with several days all to yourselves, before we allow in other guests."

I feel sure that would be enticing to guys like Jrue and JJ. There would be lots of feel-good moments watching players and their kids enjoying Disney attractions together.

On his latest podcast from 3 days ago JJ said the plan he's heard is a top 24 playin tournament. He didn't cite the source but it seemed like he was implying it's what he's heard from official sources, which I would guess are either Griff or the union.

On the Hoop Collective pod this morning, Windhorst said he's hearing no matter what format they decide, the cutoff line on how many teams participate will be at least "wherever the Pelicans are".

Sounds like the league wants Zion as part of this thing

Zion is the next cash cow for the league.

They are going to do anything in their power to make sure he is in.

This offseason will be about not what’s fair but what makes the league the most money, since they have lost so much.

There really isn't any way to be fair at this point. The major SOS discrepancies to date guarantee that.
