Totally get that they have a different value. I'm not trying to say that they are of equal importance.
But people generally enter professions knowing what will be required of them to fulfil that role (and pay cheque) whether it be long hours, travel, dangerous situations or in the NBA's case... back to backs. To get a role then change what you're prepared to do, wouldn't fly in 99% of jobs is my point and you'd be changing professions pretty quickly.

I think Charles is right but the counterpoint to that is players playing into their late 30s and 40s where an injury at 27 in the 80s would end your career.
Where I think Charles is rightfully mad is that these guys are getting 10x what he made, having longer careers, and protected on the court by officials and off the court with load management, and in the end the losers are everyone watching.

The Hawks were having half the squad out lately as if there were tanking.
In their match 2 days ago Bogi was listed as available (not in injury report) and was at the bench with street clothes.
2 weeks ago they rested all the starters and won at Chicago with career high from Wallace and Plowden that was his nba debut.
Maybe they will tank now?
You don’t. No way to really do that. There is no reasonable or acceptable explanation of any kind that you can give to that fanbase. They were robbed, by their own GM, of being able to watch a future all time great grow old with the franchise. That should have been a Dirk situation, but instead he magically ended up on the Lakers.
Here’s to what will hopefully be a relatively simple and successful recovery for Kyrie.

My conspiracy theory is the Mavs owners are trying to tank the franchise and p@&$ off the fan base so much (not including the Kyrie injury) no one shows up to games and the owners “have to” move to Las Vegas. Then they suddenly announce they are raising ticket prices for next season for this crap team. Incredible incompetence or brilliant move by the owners to get to their end game?
The NBA probably told them if you’re going to move the team to Las Vegas, you better unload the mega star to the Lakers now or we won’t let you move.
