re: This season is a waste and this draft class is loaded with potential all stars.

Let me just say this. If load management is real and something we should adhere to, then the league has got to massively overhaul everything. Less games, longer season, eliminate travel, shorter practices, everything..

Sure, that would be ideal, but the NBA is a capitalistic enterprise. And the machine of capitalism is not well equipped to prioritize human well being and health above profits and human safety unless the former is harming the other....and even then corporate inertia and bureaucracy can still prevent that sort of large systemic change.

We need every player available to be competitive

Then you simply arent a good enough team.

attrition is the name of the game in the NBA and with Zion down, if you literally need your whole remaining roster to just be competitive, you simply dont have a good enough roster. The solution is not to run players into the ground to maximize this season, it's to recognize your reality and take a longer term view.
