But he is not

Completely different philosophy today

Today the player is rested by the team because the player isn’t a player anymore.

They are an investment

Exactly.

They will do what is best for business.

I understand why you don’t like this.

But it also makes you look foolish talking about how soft current players are.

This isn’t their call.

Not fair to knock the player for following the organizations directives.

That is not a full season injury

He missed the first 18 games because of back issues that he dealt with his entire career.

He came back and broke his foot very soon after.

And for a 7 footer?

That can easily be half a season or more.

By that point, are you really saying the Spurs should have rushed him back with 15-20 games left?

Playoff chances were already gone.

Sit your star, let him fully recover and get ready for next season.

Every other team would have done exactly the same thing.

Would be very dumb not to.

Nah, there's always a lack of effort/drive, drug addiction, etc... Plenty of opportunities to no be truly great.
But I get what you are saying.
and falling in love with shooting 3's. I acknowledge he's a pretty good 3 point shooter for a center, but that's not what he should be doing. I hope someday he gets a coach that parks him under the basket, and we start to see his stat line of 16-22, all dunks and 3 footers. Forget shooting the 3 young man. And get healthy soon.
