RE: NBA to fine teams for resting star players
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This is why you have a squad of players so you can rotate them saving certain players for key games. This is all about tv advertising wanting the big players playing and it is not going to happen. Screw them and pay the fines and move on. I get the idea of manipulating the system in order to get a better slot for the drafting process so change the system if that is the case. There are plenty ways to skin a cat and this should be an easy fix if you use some logic.

I totally agree with what you said there. There is a reason why the bench is so massive on these teams... it is specifically so that the meat and potatoes of a team CAN have a rest. This could have really bad implications on these rather expensive stars in the future if teams were to adhere to the guidelines. Changing how the draft works would be extremely difficult, but I too think it would make more sense than not being allowed to rest star players.
The fact that this only applies to nationally televised games is the only point i need to see in order to know that this is all about money, and not about the game.
Yes this is bigger than the game which all revolves around money. The game is not that important but more of a cash vehicle to generate more money.
