NBA 的老板们准备在下周投票决定是否将扩军至西雅图和拉斯维加斯--目标是在 2028-29 年首次亮相，并可能在 7 月份进行正式的特许经营权投票。类似于 "疯狂三月 "的全面单场淘汰赛制可以取代目前混乱的小组赛阶段，并提高球迷的参与度。
目前，NBA 的 30 支球队结构使得季内 NBA 杯纯粹的单场淘汰赛变得复杂，它将难以预测的小组赛与充满娱乐性的淘汰赛结合在一起。虽然奖金推动了比赛的进行，但在常规赛期间，比赛安排在不同的日子进行以及缺乏明确的利害关系阻碍了比赛的精彩程度，尽管球场设计华丽。
本周拉开帷幕的 NCAA 锦标赛通过 67 场充满跌宕起伏和戏剧性的比赛展示了单败淘汰制的魅力，远远超过了 NFL 季后赛的 13 场比赛或大学橄榄球的 11 场比赛。到本世纪末，NBA 的参赛队伍将扩充到 32 支，这将使 NBA 杯的单场淘汰赛在 11 月/12 月举行。
为了均衡比赛场次（确保每支球队都打 5 场比赛），并为决出胜负创造 1-32 的排名，可以在每轮比赛后引入败者组。这将无法与季后赛的激烈程度相提并论，但可以激发赛季初的吸引力，而目前 NBA 杯的结果却令人失望。
