NBPA calls for 65-game rule change, citing Cunningham's case

[Blackrogue]

Can't make a rule then wanna change it cause it suits your favourite player.

 

[murksiderock]

You gotta be an aloof mf to not see the possibility of this happening when they implemented the rule.

The league is in the best state it’s been in for a minute. I don’t know why y’all keep trying to speak its demise into existence.

No it isn’t.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

No it isn’t.

76 BILLION equates to NBA falling off

Easy fix. Get rid of the arbitrary 65 game restriction and judge each player on a case-by-case basis. The NBPA and league office should be able to come up with some clear standards. Its not rocket science.

 

[AAKing23]

No keep the rule in place, no takebacks

WE SAW KAWHI PLAY
65 GMS FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN 7 YEARS WHEN THIS RULE
WAS IMPLEMENTED AND HES
ON HIS WAY TO DOING IT AGAIN

There 100% should be exceptions to the rule. He was clearly on his way to 1st team all nba. Let’s say he got injured in January and missed a chunk of games I’d understand, but getting injured in March when you sitting at 61 games is tough

Dudes got to play through minor injuries

im sorry

17 games missed is not crazy

This. You can't be the most valuable if you don't play. Maybe 65 is too high but I think 55 is too low. Lower it by 5 after the season. Rules can always be changed in the off season.

17 GAMES IS MORE THAN
20% OF THE SEASON.

HOW ARE YOU ASKING FOR 5 MORE GAMES?

Playing 80% of the games is reasonable.

If they make it 62, that's 75% of the games.

60 is 73%.

The rule honestly wasn't needed in regards to awards because most people voting never voted for someone who didn't play at least 60 games. Only exception was Bill Walton. 1 time in 70 plus years does not need a rule revision. But load management fukked the game up so the 65 was needed.

Now we just need to kill the draft or flatten the odds so every team can get a chance in the lottery, easy way to kill the ridiculous tanking going on.

JOKIC HAS PLAYED 24 STRAIGHT GMS
SINCE RETURNING FROM INJURY
BECAUSE IF HE MISSES 2 MORE GMS
HE DOESN'T QUALIFY.

DON'T EVER LET HIM
FOOL YOU INTO THINKING
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS shyt.

WEMBY HAS PLAYED 35 OF THE LAST 36 GMS....

SAS WOULD BE LOAD MANAGING THE
fukk OUTTA HIM IF HE WASN'T
CLOSE TO MISSING THE THRESHOLD

[King Poetic]

Dress for the game and right after tip off have a player commit a foul and go to the bench

Cade ain’t deserve it anyways but the rule is flawed I’d set it at 58 games
