Experimental games without the 3 point shot

Each year in pre-season games some teams will experiment with different possible rule changes to see what the effect would be. For example, this year some teams reduced the shot clock to "speed up the game," making the arbitrary assumption that faster is better. I would like to see games in which the 3-point line is removed. That would make as substamtial change both in strategy and tactics. Teams would have to totally amend their approaches to the game, and it would be interesting. I am guessing that it would show that the game was much more interesting without the 3-point shot.
