Because the NBA is ultimately about entertainment. Fans feel ripped off if they pay to see player X and he's rested for no reason.

If Pop did what you said, I guarantee that he'd be fined anyway.

In fairness, they're not resting for no reason.

It's also a business. If a team feels it's overall detrimental to play their players when they think it's better to rest them, they should. If Duncan got hurt cause he played too many minutes, he'd end up missing more games than just sitting out one and then the fans would've gotten screwed anyway.

As for getting fined, your opening up a new can of worms in telling a team how many minutes players are required to play. Overall, the NBA is grasping for straws
