Huh? You know that you don´t get any income from your forced friendly, don´t you?
So by "taking away" money from those friendlies from the teams out of competition, nobody is losing.
And of course this is about "penalizing" the non-playoff teams. If you want to improve the position of the teams having success, it will always tend to widen the gap between those and the ones not making it, therefore "punishing the weaks".
Nevertheless, all of the different concepts are just random thoughts ... the only one I´d like to have some kind of a true response to would be the different playoff format, as I do think this would be a real change for the better (by making the third place more interesting than the 4th, the second better than the third, creating revenue for the top teams and to some degree eliminating the problem of homecourt-advantage by schedule advantages and by walkovers). It would also make coaching and roster building alot more key, as you´d have to most likely play 3 competitive games a week for a possible two weeks in a row...
