"It's fun for fans to have something new to kind of lock in, especially early in the year," Curry said. "For us, it doesn't change the regular season schedule in terms of the amount of games we're playing.
"Just the championship game that there's a lot on the line momentarily, the trophy, the narrative of who is kind of the best team in the early part of the season. It's something different. The venue in Vegas will be fun for a lot of fans to come in just for those two, the semifinals and the championship game."
The tournament is an interesting new direction for the NBA that may bring excitement out of the fans and the players.
