Looking to go to the Blazers/Lakers game on 11/17 which happens to be a game in the new in-season tournament. One of the bigger motivators to go to this game is to see LeBron play in-person.
Do we think there’s a possibility they’d rest stars for this in-season tourney? Particularly LeBron? What say you?
The games still count for regular season record. Also considering that 8 of the 14 guys on his team have salaries below $5mil, and there’s a $500k bonus (to each player) for winning the tourny (200k to runner ups)… it would a bit of a dick move to intentionally sit those games, barring injury.
