The NBA wants to have its ‘cup’. The management of the major basketball league in the United States intends to implement a new tournament in its calendar starting next season or the season after. The idea is to have a championship with 30 franchises, of which the top eight would enter the knockout stage, in a single game, until the champion is chosen. For bettors, it is a great opportunity to have the best odds and highest limits, if you are looking for that then register with the best betting software right now.
The period of the competition, according to information from journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, would be at the end of the year, with the decrease in the number of games in the regular season from 82 to 78. The tournament is one of the dreams of commissioner Adam Silver, who is already discussing the format with the NBA Players Association.
The prize money would be another attraction with each athlete on the winning team receiving $1 million, with the possibility of increasing the amount. For the NBA and for the teams it could yield good advertising contracts and contracts with TV stations.
The main obstacle, according to ESPN, would be the interests of the big NBA teams, because cutting the regular season would mean the loss of several million dollars in revenue, but Silver, who is apparently enthusiastic about European soccer competitions parallel to the national leagues, believes that the new tournament would be a great economic and public success.
