This takes away the need for officials to hone their craft and develop the ability get tough plays right the vast majority of the time. The mentality of "we'll just check the video monitor" will be an easy out.

Why would it take away? At most, these situations that were approved come about once...maybe twice at most in a single game and even then, the overwhelming majority of games won't require the use of replay.
And I would think simple vanity and ego would mean an official would want the monitor to prove him right. I doubt any NBA official is going to slack on perfecting their craft and trying to get every play right they can.
