$50,000 is quite a huge fine for a single player compared to the 2012 Spurs $25,000 fine for resting Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli in a single game.
So this means this kind of offense is just a light offense based on the fines, let's forget about it, they will keep resting if they want because they can manage to pay the fine, Leonard is worth a million dollars and their chances to be the NBA finals again is more than a million dollars worth.
IMO, they are just using the word " load management" but in reality, there's more serious behind their action, maybe part of the tactics.
Even they have a player that worth a million dollars but  without the fans interest for sure they will ends up nothing. We don't know if until when
this coaching staff will consider the same thing and keeps on paying the fine. It will be fans who can force the management to stop this and bring
the excitement inside the Clippers team. Management will not let the fans to leave them as money will turned to nothing if that will happen.

Some funny images I saw from that tweet shared by Reid  Grin

(source)

Clippers are plying it smart imo. They are not risking their best players health while giving chance to others in their team to step up. It's working for them so far and this strategy will benefit them come playoff time.

So the NBA fines Clippers $50,000.
Yeah, thanks for their inconsistency.

At the first place both management and the medical team should be talking about this or are they really not telling the truth about the Kawhi health condition?
Are they really preserving him or is he really injured?
They will keep on making this kind of fines if they wont work together. Instead of doing great strategies, they end up losing trust with their fans.  Grin



$50,000? That's a small fine, they impose that fined to the clippers organization and that organization is so big that is worth billions, I don't think that fine will ever touch and stop them, they might still do the same strategy of preserving Leonard if the fines will not increase.

Well yeah that's just a piece of cake compared to what the whole organization is earning. But, the NBA just wanted to make a statement by putting a fine as they dont want tolerate such actions. This is what I was talking about from my past post in this thread about the unfair load management by the Clippers.

Yeah, that's a small fine for them but the issue is what matters here.

I'm also confused on what's the true statement and situation of Kawhi.  Huh

Well, if Lakers would have a space for him but what I've heard too that they are full because one news before that there's son of a legend but he can't make it to the roster because they were full already. But who knows if Lakers wants to make this happen? they can turn in to the events and be favorable for their roster and change some contract without violating it. As I've said, both teams will be good for him but yeah looks like the Mavs needs some veteran.
It will make the Lakers even more unbeatable, he might not become a starter but he will be playing as the 2nd unit and that's a hell of a 2nd unit they have. he will play with Howard and Rondo, both are superstar at their prime and its a privilege for him because the Lakers might end up as a champion this season, I think so....
We've seen super teams last season and I don't think that will make the Lakers an unbeatable team. They have the superstars but it doesn't mean that they can't be beaten by any other team. The league is still unpredictable and there are teams that are surprisingly beating the known teams with their unfavorable roster for the fans. But this kind of buff to their roster is going to make them higher chance of getting in to the playoffs.

Yeah, he is a good addition for the team and we will see that if they really are buffing their roster through Iggy. But with whatever team he goes, Mavs or Lakers. I think the team will highly benefit from him.
Lakers are already doing good now, they have a lot of veterans to contribute, I think its Mavs that needs his experience more as its the young guns that are currently carrying the team now, with him healthy, Dallas has a good shot once they are in the playoffs.

Los Angeles Clippers will face Portland Trail Blazers tonight, well last night Clippers lost their game against Milwaukee Bucks but Leonard Khawi doesn't play and he is a player that can make the difference in this game and tonight he will back to the game and play, I will try to bet for LA Clippers to win this game.

A couple of minus spread is good in favor of Los Angeles Clippers, it will boost the winnings.
It's just surprising how Harell step up to the game during Leonard's absence. Putting up big numbers against the top team in the East. It seems that Clippers force is invincible comes the playoffs, and they're still not intact yet since PG is still injured but will expect to be back next week I guess.

Igoudala might become a starter too if he will be going to Dallas.
At his age, I don't think so, and we all know he had some injuries back when he was still playing with the warriors, so I don't think he will be force to play 30 minutes per night, IMO, he will be more a contributor if he will just be a bench player and will come out and play in tough situations.
And he's no longer that young to play as a starter aside from those previous injuries his age might affect his agility, he can serve as bench player who can give some good rest to one of those stars that needs to rest, we know iggy's quality he can add helps when it's needed him to perform. Hopefully we will see him playing again with a healthy conditions.

Who's expecting this news? personally, I'm surprised to read about this lately. Although, there's no confirmation yet but mixed news are there telling that he's predicted to transfer and some news said he won't.
Report: Many NBA executives believe Andre Iguodala will be traded to Lakers
NBA rumors: Executives believe Andre Iguodala will sign with Lakers

I thought that the rumor was already gone since it has no progress. So it's now alive again.

The content anyhow is still as speculation as always. There are still no official reports associated with this.

Lakers or Mavericks, Igoudala will be fit for both. But I want to see him at Mavericks since Lakers bench squad is almost complete and no need for any minor modification. Igoudala might become a starter too if he will be going to Dallas.

I can't understand why people still think that Kawhi is not playing because of any other reason than being injured.

Dude has a chronic illness, every team that was trying to get him knew this and they all gave him the contract even tho he is known to be a player with injured knee that requires resting time. This is not 3 years ago, this is not last year, this is now and it will be in the future as well. Dude just has an injury that is chronic and will continue forever until he retires, hell I am so sad about it that this dude will probably have hard time in his elder years, like when he is 60+ years old dude will have to walk with a cane.

Normally, a healthy person like Kawhi would grew old very well but this dude will not because he sacrificed his knee to be a superstar. He will sit out many many more times in the future and I am not even talking about just year, 5-10 years more as long as he plays.

Ohw really? Where did you get this idea that Kawhi has chronic injury? If that's the case then why is he still able to play his game. I don't think he has this so called chronic injury as what you said because every time Kawhi played, there is no sign of him having knee injury.

He could be a good addition to the lakers. Their bench needs improvement in defense and Iguodala can provide that.

But I think there are also rumors before that Mavs is also interested to get him. He can give them the leadership of a veteran that the Mavs is lacking right now.

But whatever teams he ends up, I am sure Iguodala will contribute greatly.
I'm also having the same thought about him for the Lakers and as for the Mavericks, I've read about that rumor but there's no verification from him or with the management that he's transferring.

Iguodala is going to be a great addition to the Lakers.
I think that LeBron is having great influence on which players are going to join the team from LA. Having said that, Iguodala might be James' preference and choice so as to reach the finals with Lakers.
Yeah, he is a good addition for the team and we will see that if they really are buffing their roster through Iggy. But with whatever team he goes, Mavs or Lakers. I think the team will highly benefit from him.

Here's the news regarding your concern.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2861558-nba-says-kawhi-leonard-is-injured-clippers-arent-breaking-load-management-rule
Quote
"Kawhi Leonard is not a healthy player under the league's resting policy, and, as such, is listed as managing a knee injury in the LA Clippers injury report.

It's very clear, it was because of the Knee injury, although he can play but he is not fully healthy.

This will be crucial once the injury gets worse. I think this is the injury from Pachulia when he put his foot below the landing point of Kawhi.
Yes, it might still be it.
Damn Pachulia will never be forgotten by Kawhi even with all the trophies that he will have.  Grin

Not actually related since Kawhi has been sitting down games even before Pachulia injured him. He has a known chronic quad problem which has been said the he has been experiencing for 7 years now so this was really way before Pachulia injured him. With the load management that the NBA has cleared him to have it protects both the player and the team for having their all star to be healthy in more important games especially in the play offs. Yes as a fan this sucks on watching the Clippers not having one of their stars but this will be good for Kawhi's health and like I said be more available on bigger matches.
