In his first press conference conducted from a dimly lit room he lays out his vision for “The League”. His first order of business is that he wants all teams to re-brand themselves. That means either moving to a new city or take on a new name. The reason behind this is never made clear. So all teams in the NBA have re-branded themselves, some have moved, and some have just adopted new names. “The League” now looks totally different. His next order of business is to announce a new expansion team that will come to Las Vegas at the end of the 2016-2017 season and they will be called the “Las Vegas Aces”.
In a letter sent to all the new teams “The Commish” has announced some changes to how the season will pan out. Gone are the 82 game seasons, now there are only 29 games per year. The reason for this he says is so that “fans are more interested in every game and it is much easier to keep up with the season.” He also wants to “lessen the strain on the players bodies” because after all, they are only human. The playoffs still warrant excitement so now the format for them will be 1-3-5-7. These new, fresh changes to the NBA should make for a very interesting first year under “The Commish”. Now let's show you how the NBA looks now after all the teams have moved....
