minutes, their per game stats really suffer. Those stats matter for contracts, All-NBA selections, etc. I think they would rather play all or nothing rather than be used sparingly.

This is why I don’t totally get the either total rest or total play thing. They could have rested Gobert 95% of Saturday

Completely agree. Unless warmups add to the wear and tear. Which is possible.

All I can figure is they feel like they couldn’t be disciplined enough to limit use so they just go all or nothing.

If it's the driver then teams should consider the perverse incentive they are creating by structuring contracts that way
