No. The 3-point line made the game better by spreading out the game, forcing defenses to come out away from the paint. What benefit to the game is there from a 4-point shot?

I would support the implementation of the 1/2 pt. shot, such as for when players who are still shooting less than 50% FT by the time February rolls around, if they draw iron on the front end of 1 and 1s, they get a 1/2 point.

progression does not equate to ideal. Some people have a terrible time understanding this.

I would rather they take away opportunities for some points. What I mean by that is make every single trip to the free throw line a 1 and 1. Don't reward someone with a second shot if they can't hit the first one. It would force players like Lee and Briscoe to improve their free throw % or they are out of the game at critical times. It would also make the end of games even more interesting for teams trying to make a comeback. How many times do you see a guy miss the first but make the second one? He wouldn't get that chance if they change this.

I'd rather they switch to make it take it over a 4 point shot. [laughing]

You must live out here in California. If not, you'd love it here with that kind of mentality even though I know it was only in jest.
