Gson, players are going to say no way to this .... At first, I thought it would be good especially solves owner problem of lack of ticket sales by limiting their losses to get to playoffs. Players only get service time out of this and with expanded playoffs are doing more games for free as proposed as they are paid for regular season and gate receipt for playoffs which is now $0.
It is interesting as they just want to get to playoffs before another COVID outbreak in fall ... yet that may just happen in 4 weeks anyways, shutting everything back down. We will see.
