They need to do two critical things:
1) Age limit. As much as LeBron is going to help the league, there are too many guys that shouldn't be near the NBA at that point in their lives. They have neither the skills nor the maturity for the NBA.
2) Rework the compensation system. The salary cap is a great idea, but when you are signing marginal starters for 5 years and 50 million while allowing others to sign with a whole series of "exemptions" that are too confusing for most people, you have a major problem.
