Marcus Smart previously has also said "No one cares about that" in reference to the in-season tournament during media day. Is the fact that there are no stakes taking away from this new event?

To be honest if they want to make it more high stakes, winning the in season tournament and coming second should equal additional wins for regular season to potentially sway playoff seeding. For example winning the tournament gives 3 more wins and coming second gives 1. Given seeding can be changed even by one win, what better stakes would there be, and it’s not as if this would completely upset the NBA.
