Maybe not. We'll see if anyone cares about a midseason tournament. I'll be curious to see how seriously the players take it. Like will the middle third franchises rest some players and use it to develop some guys? Since the games won't count, and they have little hope of winning, will it be treated like summer league games?
All the tournament games still count as regular season games so there's no change in incentive to rest guys. The only one that doesn't count as a regular season game is the tournament championship and they win a half million bucks if they win so they're trying to incentivize the players to play.
Ah, I read that wrong. Thanks for clarifying that!
