With these new rules, Kerr will be the most coveted free agent this offseason(or whenever he is a free agent) Actually, the only bad rule that i simply cant stand is the No Illegal "D". This will change hte NBA greatly. We will only see dunks on fast-breaks, pure jump shooters will be the most valuable commodity(Hey Bryce, youre a free agent soon aren't you?) IMHO, this is a horrible rule, and after a couple seasons I hope the NBA realizes this and fixes it. The defensive three second rule is kind of stupid as well. 8 seconds and the foul rule aren't that bad. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion [This message has been edited by vj23k (edited April 13, 2001).]
I don't see why the NBA couldn't schedule a few exhibition games to test out the new rules. If they hurt the game, why waste a season trying them? They should just get the 13 lottery teams to play around 30 exhibition games in the Summer with the new rules. If all the scores are 65-60, then the NBA could avoid the rules. ------------------ Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball.

Let The Rockets and Kings play 3 games, If two of the games end in a final scores of under 100, then not a good idea. Well, I can tell you right now that it won't improve the NBA, without the exhibition games. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
