The 2023-2024 NBA Season

It’s unnecessary. The guys who were missing 15-20 games wasn’t mainly due to load management with the exception of Kawhi. Other people always been hurt and teams are still finding a day off here and there because why am I going to run my guys into the ground. This is a 9 month season

Yup and missing 17 games is enough.

I can turn my ankle in October and miss a month of basketball and not miss a single game after that but I’m not eligible for any awards lol in what world does that make sense

This is a fair perspective. I read that Adam Silver has the ability to over rule the rule on a case by case basis. The circumstances you present would apply for that application of the waiver:

Are you not an all pro if you miss 4 of 17 in the nfl?

Are you ineligible for mvp or any other mlb awards if you miss 42 of 162 in mlb?

I hadn’t heard that, that’s horrible. You do it once then you are picking on someone when you don’t.

Sorry but we don’t have the problems of guys not playing in those leagues so it doesn’t matter.

How many players outside of kawhi where this was a major problem? I can bet you can’t name 5

I don’t have to, the league had to give the appearance of doing something. So it happened. I agree 100 percent, make it more. As I said this is going to make more guys supermax players anyway.

I get all the points being made, I just happen to think any incentive to play is a good thing.

It became a media focus and that drove a narrative like what we saw in the article Thunder linked earlier today crying about a little kid who missed Embiid playing. They want to avoid the public saying, why buy tickets to a game when there’s a chance the stars won’t play?

Players aren’t going to play when they are hurt. The league want players to treat a random night in January like it’s game 7 of the finals. Players are not playing at 75% in January

I’m in favor any rule that would’ve stopped the sham that gave jaylen brown his laughable contract

I still can’t believe they passed as much as almost any other team

 

[bksballer89]

The heat are playing like a team that doesn’t like each other much

 

[bksballer89]

17 rebounds at half for Sabonis

 

[bksballer89]

Took me 4.5 years but I think I’m over the Tyler Herro experience
