haha i saw that Jordan told the Hornets "you're paid to play 82 games a season"
Well they’re only going to have 82 games.
Right, but you are leaving out the third party involved, which is the League. The team and player have differing objectives than the League. Yet the League oversees the revenue sharing as the ultimate employer, and the League is who suffers when the visiting star player doesn't play that one game out of the season he was expected to play in that city. The team is just the middleman. So, to the extent it deems it a problem, the League has to create an artificial disincentive to the team and player's joint action.
The League doesn’t want star players getting injured in the playoffs either. Bucks vs. Clippers in the Finals without Kawhi and PG would suck a lot more than last night.
