My new proposal is Houston, Utah, OKC and the Mavs play each other for the right to NOT play the "play in" teams. Loser in the group joins Memphis in the one game tournament.
(I think the Nets poor record as the 7th seed in the east is what is dragging the Mavs into this potential problem.)
Or put it another way, the Mavs get to play the Lakers in a one game playoff elimination. They are 11 games up on the Mavs. The Mavs are 10.5 games up on the Blazers, Kings and Pelicans. See how Laker fans would like that...
