To this point: that’s what Shaedon Sharpe decided not to do and he wound up going top 10 with no tape. Hardy went to G League and tumbled to round 2.
Don’t blame the players for load management, blame NBA teams

The players are complicit with it and ultimately have the ultimate say
For example, Bron played a full season during 2017-2018. He was 33 at the time and took pride in it,
now look around at the players getting load managed these days.

If the players wanted to play, they'd play.
Ya'll NBA stans need to stop the excuses, deflections and dikk riding for these players.
The golden goose is close to being killed. NBA will always be profitable but the league is becoming more and more irrelevant to the sporting public.
After LeBron, Curry and Durant step aside, it ain't looking good for the NBA

anyone with common sense can see it’s a organizational problem but it’s just easier to blame the players themselves.. but dig deeper if your not a high earning cornerstone player for that team notice how they FORCE them to play through injury… The load management is only afforded to big money star players
Why can't both be blamed as players deserve blame in the matter as well since those missed games due to load management could easily cost them All NBA consideration considering that everyone in the league is putting up numbers.
That's before you even factor in the talking of adding in the stipulation.
Load management can't be downplayed by the league and the players for them to only come griping and bytching when the media leaves them off All NBA team.

futbol you play 90 minutes. Yes they rotate players game to game but that player playing 60+ minutes usually. NBA players play what 30-36 min a game?It happens in all sports. They do it in Rugby in New Zealand. They do it in cycling. They even do it in individual sports like Tennis Swimming Track and Field. It's about peaking to get prime performance when it matters most. Why you think they give F1 drivers a mid season break? To keep the drivers mentally fresh.
My team got smashed in the playoffs 4-0 in the first round and the star/best players all played poorly but at least they played all 82 regular season games

It's done in every sport in the world. Sports science refer to it as the red zone.
Once again its about getting peak performance both physically and mentally when it comes to the end of the season/championships/playoffs etc. It doesn't matter what sport plays x amount of mins. It isn't a pissing contest
Let me ask you this. Do you think Benzema would be performing at this ridiculously high level post C dot left Real. If didn't have for 6 years basically have a week off every month for international fixtures during the season and having 6 weeks off in the summer when those playing international football at best are getting 3 weeks off from their seasoning ending to the new one starting/reported bsck for pre season.. When everyone ele is slogging away Benz is drip lording it up hes resting and recovery. And looked what happened when Benzema resumed his international career he started picking up injuries because of the extra wear and tear in his mid 30's.
You're not wrong at all, but the majority of fans could care less about that when athletes are getting paid millions of dollars at the expense of rising prices.
You can say that the FO deserves more blame, but the players are making the most money of anyone else outside of the owner(s).

I agree
I don’t think players should be absolved, but the media and fans needs to direct more ire at the organizations. They won’t because western capitalism blames labor only.
You mean the labor that's making more than the people making the decision outside of ownership?
That argument doesn't work for that very reason and the important detail that NBA players in particular have more power and influence in the decision making process compared to their NFL counterparts.
At least that's what people keep saying especially when said decision could cost them millions of dollars at All NBA time, which benefits the said people making the decisions more than the actual player.

You said it yourself futbol has about a month. NBA most teams have off from March-October theres a big difference. What was sports science reason for Dame sitting out game right after all star break

Players do not have more power than the decision makers. That’s the great misperception about this era. A select few players have power, but a guy like Shai Gildres-Alexander ain’t one of them.
And ultimately, the owners are the ones who employ and pays for everyone’s meal. Absolving them of any responsibility is just what we do. Especially as these owners have become more younger and technocratic.
