So let me get this straight. We get a mid season tournament, a play in tournament and the playoffs is all best of 7? When does the NBA realize that too much is a bad thing? It's bad enough we got a play in for bottom feeders and the 1st round is too long, but a worthless ass contest too? God forbid any injuries come from this madness.

And it is dumb cause usually players would are running the league but this is clearly a cash grab by the league when players are actively campaigning for less games 

Everyone knows the NBA season really don't start until Xmas but they have sort of mitigated tho with the season starting earlier in October as opposed to Halloween. Nobody cares about an in-season tourney when you can't even get players to play all 82 games

Looking at Webby, like, how do you stop a guy 12 feet tall with that ball handling?

Put a body on him 

NBA coaches are going to bum rush him and elbow and push him until he starts getting the calls. I think Wemby might get ROY off rep but I think this will be a real growing year for him 

15ppg, 8rebs, 4 assist is about the line I see for him and shooting around 47% from the field and 32% from 3. 

Scoot is my favorite to win it just for the opportunities he will have in Portland with Dame gone

[Gawk Rivers]

I can't wait for how f***ing stupid this Rockets team is gonna be

Honestly surprised Marvin Bagley didn’t make the list.

After checking, it appears Bagley falls right below Robinson at a sweet 166 through 4 whole seasons.

I saw the same thing said about Zion... except instead of 12 feet it was 7ft and 300lbs.

I hope he can stay healthy but I'll be curious how he'll hold up when he's getting hit by a dude like LeBron on a drive or getting kicked in the balls by Draymond.

My memory is a little fuzzy, I remember David Robinson hurting his back but I thought that was a little later in his career. So are they seriously counting "Being in the goddamn Navy" in the same boat as being injured?

I'd leave the Admiral off a list like that even if it's technically true. It's an outlier.

Pretty much.  They’re going to hit this dude until he wears down over the course of the season.  I think that’s the big question: how well he’ll hold up to the grind of a foreverlong NBA season.  Won’t be surprised if he ends on IR at some point. Those super tall lean guys almost always do.

It’s 100% taking two years off for military service, he shouldn’t be on the list. He was very durable when younger

Dude I've read and watched like a million different summaries of the in season tournament and I'm still absolutely lost. Adam Silver stop bringing love.

After trying to read the 40 page explanation on the NBA site I can only assume that Adam Silver learned about the Heritage Cup and wanted in on some of that action.

BASED ON THEIR RECORDS FROM THE 2022-2023 SEASON??

Every time I think it can't get worse it does.

Here’s the groups. I cannot wait until Shaq and Barkley try to explain this nonsense. lol

I’m not even going to try to read or understand the rules of that tournament. Adam Silver and his cash grab isn’t worth my attention. I’m sure there are ways to curb load management and make the regular season mean more. This nonsense isn’t it.

Most of Anthony Bennett's missed games Were DNP Coaches Decision or DNP is scoring 4 points in a G-League assignment. Injuries were not a factor like an Oden or Zion,he was just genuinely not an NBA quality player

You think I'm gonna watch some random midseason games over a made-up trophy and the players' possible financial windfall? Shit, I'd watch the players play a damn midseason poker tournament before I'd watch whatever this is supposed to be.

[Push R Truth]

Go batshit crazy and give the winning team 4 point shots from the logo for the rest of the season
