NBA needs to use G-League as a true second division with relegation of two worst teams every year. That would fix tanking and make G-League franchises interesting

For future reference. The way to pronounce Türkiye is not Turkey-Yay, but "Tuur-ki-yeh". Stress on the first syllable and the yeh is short.
