So instead of lowering the games and introducing rest to have all the stars healthier for the post season you as a fan would rather see
Tatum
Curry
Brown
Garland
Mobley
Mitchell
Gordon
Butler
Suggs
Holiday
etc
retire because the schedule got them battling crazy injuries during playoff time :martin:

the idea of players having 15-20 year careers with regularity was not commonplace.

the arc of a typical good career was you came in at 21-22 and were done by 35.

Load management has given some guys more years than they otherwise wouldn't had had yet we still complain as fans. Everyone wants lesser games for the most selfish reasons.

Yeah, I do want less games because I think on average that'd wind up with healthier playoffs. I'm locked in to every playoff game, but during the season I only catch maybe 30 games at most. Who's watching all these games? Regular season doesn't need to be more than 60 games.

TYRONE GA!
They played 14 games in 30 days with only a 6 man rotation. They are being held together by gum and shoestring. Makes it even more embarrassing the clippers lost to the nuggets

This current CBA is gonna make it so hard to maintain depth if you're a championship team. I can see this occurring more in the future where teams only have 6 reliable guys in the playoffs

stop handing out max and near max contracts like gubment cheese for above average dudes. Stop severely overpaying rotation nikkaz. The second apron penalties destroy you :yeshrug:


Brad Beal - 50 million
Podcast P - 49 million
FVV - 43 million :russ:
OG Anonoby is not a 37 million a year nikka :comeon:
Quickly making 33 million?
Khris Middleton is washed...not worth 31 million
Jrue making 30 million :francis:
Jonathan Isaac made 26 million this year :what:
Clint Capela is not worth 22 million a year
Porzingis 30 million a year (Even when healthy)
Ben Simmons at 40 million :mjlol:
Lonzo - 21 million
MPJ - 36 million :mjlol:
Weedplate - 26 million
Tim Hardaway Jr - 16 million
Max Kleber - 11 million

Basketball has a worldwide talent pool, NBA rosters are bigger than ever, and the NBA has a 30-team Minor League

but NBA teams are still playing small rotations.

Exactly. And it makes absolutely no sense, especially with the sizeable amount of brehs on here who claim that today's players are much more talented than in the past.

Something's not adding up :jbhmm:
