On Wednesday Silver was asked by Dan Patrick on the Dan Patrick Show for the wildest ideas that have been discussed in NBA offices as they try to improve the game, and Silver took the opportunity to make the case for a change he feels would be beneficial: shorter games in the form of 10-minute quarters.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared on the Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday, and when asked what the wildest ideas the league has ever considered, Silver presented two that would dramatically change the game.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has always maintained that he is open to discussing potential changes, even radical ones. Silver cares about tradition, and he hasn't spent the last 10-plus years implementing weird gimmicks, but dating back to his first Board of Governors meeting on the job, he has wanted the league to be able to adapt when necessary.
