Who would that benefit the most? Clippers are probably the deepest team in the league, but only being able to play Kawhi and PG for 24 minutes would be a problem. Maybe Miami? They go 10 or 11 deep with solid rotation players.

Pete is probably the best value for the last group because there's a lot of evidence he could hit long jumpers but after sleeping on it I think your best bet is to overspend there and get someone like Wilt or Russell because otherwise it's probably going to be a guy who couldn't hang athletically now.

I picture the bench guys just starting and instantly committed the funniest techs they could think of to get ejected right away. Like guys 10-12 just start doing Globetrotter routines until the ref tells them to go away.

I do not think an nba team can refuse to suit up players who aren’t injured. 3 player backup limit or something This also ignores the parents who would be giving the coaches an earful for not playing their sons. The coaches would get in a lot of trouble if they only played their Own kids major minutes. Oceanlife fucked around with this message at 17:28 on May 28, 2020 |

I actually don’t think this is a bad rule overall, other than the fact that possibly 30% of the roster might not actually want to play in the current circumstances. I think something like a maximum number of minutes per season or whatever for vets might not be an awful way to handle load management over the course of a regular season.

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/5/26/21270365/nba-restart-world-cup I'm all in on this group stage proposal to replace first round/end of season. Especially with the added tweak that the top tier teams get to draft their group. I don't know that it makes any more sense than any other proposal but it would create some cool matchups at least.

NBA can fine you for sitting players in a way that would not be in the best interest of competition (ie, not load management). However, I don't think this has happened since Pop got fined and in general Silver seems pretty ok with teams doing whatever with their players. Non Joke way to force teams play deeper roster: Have game max minutes for players, which forces you to go deep. Joke-ish: 10 individual slots each team has to assign before the game that regulates the minutes they can play. If someone gets injured you have to bring in a reserve, you can't move around minutes. Each player gives what they can and gets minutes based on their needs. Starters monopolizing minutes is facist.

I'm probably in favor of the pure laissez faire approach that you can use your roster as you wish for either short or long term strategy but if there are rules I like more explicitly written ones that treat all players on the roster equally then a general touchy feely play your stars or maybe we'll fine you.

Welcome to the Pels for the latter half of the season last year. Star player doesn't want to play for the franchise anymore (requested a trade) and the franchise is better served by sitting him for better draft positioning and also waiting for more trade offers to become possible (some players/picks can't get traded till the off-season and/or draft) to get a better deal. But he's a star and must be played. And, despite wanting to be trade, the player still wants to play NBA basketball while waiting for a trade to go through. So, you have three powers competing for whether the star player should be played: the player themself, the league as a whole, and the franchise. It is a stupid situation and I hated it and am glad it is over and hope it never happens to anyone again.

I've been using my free athletic trial to read some back pieces by writers I haven't been able to read for a while. This site is really good.

AD wanted to play (reportedly) and the NBA emphasized that the Pelicans sitting out a healthy, willing Davis was against the rules (but only AFTER the trade deadline, it was fine before). Eventually Davis relented on wanting to play and then no one cared. So yeah, I guess its a good example but the player actively wanted to continue playing so there's some other things at play other than just competitiveness.

It's also never a good look when the star player of a team gets boo'd relentlessly at his own team's home games. e: and then he wore a "That's All, Folks!" shirt at his last home game and claimed later that he didn't pick it out himself, it was just waiting for him to put on

I would love to see any of those dudes like Sabonis, Walton, Webber, Hakeem surrounded by modern shooters. I guess the 90s Rockets that won basically played that way. Steph/Klay/Pistol/Mullin/Sabonis would be hilarious. Run it all thru Sabonis and he'll average a triple double and they'll hit 30 3's a game. (and not be able to stop anyone) Peak Sabonis for 2 is an incredible deal. Are there any current bigs that are enough of a scoring and passing threat to do that right now? I feel like Embiid should be that but I dunno if he's really there.

If there were 32 teams in the league, a World Cup setup would have been a great gimmick. Can you imagine the hype around the group draw. Some team like the Raptors or Nuggets end up in a group with the Lakers and Bucks, meanwhile the Bulls, Knicks, Magic, and Suns all end up together. Now if the NFL season were to be shortened by a couple months... Blind Pineapple fucked around with this message at 07:11 on May 29, 2020 |
