It's not me saying it ... it's ortho surgeons. And Lebron James recently.

AAU ball is brutal.

LeBron James slams AAU over demanding schedule, increased mileage on young athletes

Load management has been a hot-button issue across the NBA and one of the league’s most powerful voices said the need for the tactic at the professional level starts when athletes are younger.

I really hope they don't just give Exum minutes when he comes back

Exum should have to play in the D-league for a while

But then he'll get hurt and never make it back.

They need Exum for load management and to have someone talented on the bench

This load management talk is so weird

Those guys took time off in the off-season. Heck, Jordan took time off DURING

You might want to recheck that. Stockton and Malone played on two Olympic teams

You play waaaaaay more minutes in an NBA season than you do in college. 4 years of college ball significantly reduces

scootsy

11/13/19 1:16pm

of course you do. Which also plays in the favor of Stockton and Malone

cougarmanguy

all time numbers

11/13/19 1:18pm

That's regular season only. NBA minutes are a lot harder on the body than any other league. LeBron has already played

scootsy

11/13/19 1:28pm

Hot take. Both of their minutes played resume's are REALLY REALLY impressive.

exactly. I am not sure what is being argued

cougarmanguy

11/13/19 1:36pm

What are you arguing against? I am not sure that we are disagreeing

cougarmanguy

11/13/19 1:35pm

I wasn't arguing with you, just adding more context. The one factor not being considered though, is none of those guys

scootsy

11/13/19 1:38pm

fair enough

cougarmanguy

11/13/19 1:40pm

The fact that they played college ball instead of going straight into pro ball

runnincoug

11/13/19 1:29pm

meh, that is a pretty insignificant valuation. Malone and Stockton played a ton of minutes

For sure

The Maestro

11/13/19 1:02pm

I only hope he gets minutes so maybe he can have a good ten games and have some

dezzy

11/13/19 1:01pm

Still mad we didn't include him in the trade for Conley instead of Crowder

The Maestro

11/13/19 1:02pm

It wasn't our choice. Memphis knows Crowder is way more trade-able than Exum.

dezzy

11/13/19 1:05pm

Not sure that is true

The Maestro

11/13/19 1:06pm

At the trade-deadline then yes. I agree with you. Dumb choice by us.
