Fixing the NBA Injury Issue

Lot of injuries, which has opened up the discussion again about whether or not there is a need for a structural change. If I'm the NBA, I'm saying to teams that we're going to start training camps in mid-September. And I would say to teams, hey, how about you play guys in preseason games? All right? Like, you know, most of the time these preseason games, like, you kind of like have your fingers up and across there, be like, please don't get hurt. Please don't get hurt. Make them play. Like that, I know there is the risk of injury if you play technically. But Chris, you're sitting here saying that guys don't have enough ramp-up time and that's what's a major contributing cause to these injuries. But if you make them play during the preseason, you are, once again, shortening their ramp-up time. So you can't have it both ways. Well, that's not, no it's not. It's not shortening their ramp-up time because... You're not playing these guys for 40 minutes. You're playing them for 15, 20. I'm going to go hard for a short period of time as they ramp up to being able to play 30, 40 minutes per game. I'm just saying not playing and only practicing is not helping them get ready for the start. So I would go to like six, seven preseason games. Make sure your stars play in five or six of them and get them ready for it.
