Number of wins, percentage, something else? For example - Mavs are only 1 win behind fourth spot, but they have four more losses. So if only wins count, Mavs could quite easily jump up in the standings. Especially since schedule is not that difficult.Yeah this seems messy. Logically all 22 teams should have played the same amount of games. The Nets are 30-34 and the Magic are 30-35. So you are telling the Magic they need to go through the play-in tournaments with the same amount of wins?

Furthermore if they have a play-in tournament for the 8th seed in each conference and they have two teams from the East and six teams from the West, what do they do, when two West teams qualify? Does one get to play in the East bracket? Do they seed 1-16 with no conference. No way the Magic or Wizards can beat out all these WC teams.
Overall this sounds more like a money grab solution for the owners than a competitive sports deal. Whether we attach an asterisk to the title then solely depends on who wins the title #Lockdown LeBron
