Option 2 is a no go for me. Basically for the same reasons you stated.
I like option 1 with some changes. best of 5 series with more time in between games. This helps with the travel problem.

If going to 5 game series it should be the Finals not the first round. The baseball models makes zero sense and always has. It's built to maximize luck which is tragic.
Yeah, I agree that would help the travel problem, but sadly I don't think the NBA will ever move away from the 7 game format as the profits they make off of it is just too much.
