The final four teams left in the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament have been decided: the Pelicans, Lakers, Bucks and Pacers.
There’s a lot of uncharted territory when it comes to this tournament since it’s the first time the league is holding it. For instance, how big of a deal will it be for the team who eventually wins the tournament? Will the winning team get to hang a banner in the rafters, like the NBA champions do?
This last question became a huge topic of conversation Wednesday as an answer hasn’t been decided upon. Bucks star Damian Lillard, for example, would rather “just take the money” than hang a banner, NBA insider Rachel Nichols reported.
