Pretty much.

narrow the league to 6 teams and never expand.

Or eliminate divisions and conferences & seed it openly. The best 16 records make the playoffs & are seeded by record

Just let every team into the playoffs...bottom 16 seeds have to win 3 games in a row to advance, if they lose once before that time they are out :yes

they should just have a player vote on the top 16 teams that LeBron James doesn't play on to see which team LeBron plays in the finals.

Not terrible but no divisions means no rivalries.

You could have designated rivalries

8 teams is way too many teams anyway. It makes the regular season almost irrelevant. They should take the baseball route:

3 Division Leaders in each conference plus 2 Wild Cards with a play-in. The wild card play-in should be a best of 3 though.

That would put in Atlanta, Toronto and Chicago, with Cleveland and Washington having a play-in based on current standings. Each of those teams deserves to be in. It would such to be the Clippers in this scenario though.
