Wonder who decides which game he will play and if it is all just based on match up or what other factors play into "load management"

Kawhi has it made. Plays 15 games less than everyone else, gets paid more, and saves his body.

And still wins championships

Yep.

And then looks great in the playoffs because of the reduced work load.

Yeah. It's a huge win for everyone if the team is good enough to win some games without him

Raptors were 17-5 without him last year, and the Clippers likely will be similar

I think a big reason Kawhi chose the clippers is because they won 48 games w/out him last year.

That was one of his biggest concerns with signing with a team. Load mgmnt.

"Time-share superstar" is what I'm calling this

It’s almost like they’re thinking, “there’s a good chance we lose to the Bucks

NBA needs to do something. Don’t put Clippers on national tv as much.

I'm sure the TV partners love this. And also people who bought tickets.

Will be interesting to see how many of the load management games they lose

I hope they lose every time he sits

He learned this from the Spurs

Its going to be harder this year since he didn't take all of last year off

Is the NBA worried about this? What if it becomes a trend? If all of the superstars start taking several games off,
