So now even NBA rookies get load management... Ja Morant OUT (rest)

[Rekkapryde]

My thing is don't load manage at home. That is truly a fukk you to your fans. Plenty of people bought tickets to see Ja and won't get to tonight. That's how you lose fan support.

Grizzlies are trying to get James Wiseman.

 

[Born2BKing]

They can bench him or anybody for whatever reason they want. There's DNP's for a lot of people on a nightly basis. If that's what the team feels like doing, then whatever happens is something they better be ready for. If they wanna pace Ja through a season, fine. If they wanna pace Grayson Allen through a season, that's fine too. Adam Silver can't coach and manage 30 rosters, but that's what apparently y'all want.

Then it's not a guaranteed deal. What you're looking for are incentive based contracts dependent upon games played.

nikka do you work for the NBA? You're pro league and anti fan as fukk.

 

[MikelArteta]

I agree

The NBA has to change with the times.

These guys are literally just trying to survive and get through the season. If it's really come to this, they gotta reevaluate how many games.

Probably the best balance for the health of the players, the quality of play, and satisfying the fans.

if you think these players are going to want to give up money or owners are gonna give up 41 dates of revenues

players will feel the brunt next go around

Maybe one of you load management supporters can tell me why NHL players aren't doing this.

I hear three strides can carry you from one side of the ice to the other and half the team doesn't cross center ice

The rule is you can't sit a player out for rest on the road. So they let the NBA know in advance. He
legit only playing 28 minutes a night as a plan the radio and podcasters I listen to been mad as shyt

I just stream the games so I just don't tune in if he ain't playing


I'm actually watching anyway... But in theory I wouldn't

 

[CrimsonTider]

Shut the fukk up like you were going to watch them play live. Y'all were going to watch the highlights on freedawkins or hoh. Y'all ain't watching league pass like that. Chill tf out.

This is a totally bizarre angle to take

Like Porzingis is sitting out tonight too but the Mavs have designated to the league it's part of his injury recovery program . That is the same for Brandon Clarke as well tho less people care he ain't playing

[NatiboyB]

damn that is a whole group of young players I guess this is officially a thing shyt Zion probably won’t even play 28 minutes a game this season

20 year old... dude plays 27 minutes a game

 

[staticshock]

82 games wasn’t a problem in the 70s, 80s, 90s & early-mid 2000s.

nba lame as fukk if they cut down on games

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I need this to get bigger actually. I’m trying to bring “load management” to my workplace

To be fair no way were players in the 90's worked as hard. From training , flights to even the pace of play.

Yall keep saying this but what's all this "work" that today's players have to do the players from past generations didnt?

Players today have better equipment(especially shoes), better training staffs, more comfortable travel, fewer back to back games, and the game is less physical than it has ever been in the history of the league.....and on top of that they make more money right now than any other players before them.
