Thoughts on this? Honestly, hope this also means we’ll see him load manage less (assuming he doesn’t have a freak injury). I’d be ok with this if they’re expecting him to play like 70+ games. That said, if he’s only going to play around 50 games then I feel like this minute restriction is basically just going to make the Lakers lose a lot more games.
why does everything have to be “exact” every game??
Play him 36 minutes versus Denver, Suns, Kings, Warriors, etc.
Play him 23 minutes versus Wizards, Magic, Blazers, Spurs, etc.
It works out to the same minutes but gives Lakers a much better chance to win the most games
