Commissioner George Karl has some ideas.

His grand scheme was revealed before Saturday’s game when the Nuggets coach was asked how a division winner (say, the Clippers), can be no lower than a four seed, but if the division-winner’s first-round opponent has a better record, that team gets homecourt advantage.

“I don’t know if I like it, but I understand why you do it, because there should be some reward for winning your division,” Karl said. “Even though, there really isn’t.”

So he was asked: Do you think you should wipe out divisions and just have conference standings?

“I’m even crazier than that,” the Nuggets’ coach said.

Oh, yeah? What ya got?

“I think you should put all top-16 and do it that way, and then reseed for the next round,” he said.

So basically, here’s Karl’s idea: The top eight teams from the Western Conference and the top eight teams from the Eastern Conference are put into a playoff pool. At this point, conference affiliation no longer matters. Instead, it’s all about record.

The team with the best record plays the team with the 16th-best record and so on.

And then, like he said, they reseed hockey-style for the next round. And so, the NBA’s “Final Four” could be four teams from the same conference — but, as proven by this system, perhaps the four best teams in basketball.

“I think it would get fans excited, man. It would be crazy,” Karl said. “And we travel with private jets now, so I think you can schedule it to where you’d get two days of rest between games. I think it would be really fun and interesting to see the matchups.”

So if you were commissioner, you would try to make this happen? Like, for real?

“I would advocate it,” he said. “I don’t know if the Board of Governors would pass it, but I would advocate it.”

After George had gone off the map with this idea, I chimed in with a thought — why not just get rid of conferences altogether? Why punish a team that’s ninth or 10th in the West that’s way better than, say, seventh and eighth in the East?

Promptly, Chris Marlowe from Altitude suggested that my thought was “Draconian,” and Karl himself said: “I think you’re going off the map.”

The coach had one other idea on Saturday. Cut the 82-game season to a 62-game season, and then in the middle of the season, “You can take a three-week break and have an NCAA-like tournament. Single elimination is a lot different than a seven-game series.”

I’d watch that.
