This is such a good idea. Of course, denying the best players the right to get a max/supermax is...in the interest of the owners, so any new awards are off the table. Owners can say, well hey, shouldn't the basketball canon recognize Embiid a decade from now since he took his (flawed in increasingly baroque ways) team to the second round over and over? And was denied a trip to the Finals by one of the most amazing shots in NBA history? And of course the basketball canon will not recognize him without awards or trips to the Finals.
