Stern is looking at the ratings and nobody is watching so he's looking for a solution. The age limit seems to be a scapegoat. Let's be real, nobody is paying the NBA attention now. NFL/College Football is dominating. MLB is huge now and Nascar is the second most watch sport in America. NCAA tournament got good ratings but that because it always get good ratings. How many people will go out their way to watch the NBA playoff? The NBA can't even compete with Golf now. Stern sees the game is not as good as it was in the 80's and most of 90's. I think the young players is hurting the game. Stern is trying to copy the NFL/MLB waiting policy too see if it will work.
That's why we have the NBDL minor system.
