I think it makes more sense to me to expand the playoffs. I would imagine those games generate proportionally more oney the in-season games. Maybe go to 17 and expanded playoffs. Then you're only adding one game for everyone and ghe other games are playoff games involving a lot less players.

One also has to understand that this could very well be CBA positioning(most likely). IN collective bargaining you have to give to get. The more the owners lay on the table the more they have to pull back when the time comes. I'd bet we don't see extra games in whatever reincarnation the next CBA is.
