I think wherever Paul plays next year they will take an approach to keep him healthy and not overwork him during the regular season. Paul has some elite skills that won't age. He is one of the better shooters, passers, higher IQ guys in the NBA. None of those skills diminish. He may lose a little quickness but he can still play a huge role on a team if kept healthy.
I don't think it's a terrible idea to let someone like Lebron take a rest. The only thing that matters is the playoffs and the team isn't going to fall out of contention for the playoffs if he misses 10 games. They would probably only lost 1-2 extra games without him if he did sit. He's played so many games compared to most players over the past years from all the Finals and the Olympics. He also will have a shortened offseason next year if the Lakers go deep into the playoffs and he decides to make 1 more trip to the olympics. So sitting to start the season is probably a good idea.
I was surprised to see Morey get a job so quick. I kinda thought he was stepping away for the time being. He would have it much easier in the East building a team compared to what he has had to compete with in the West year after year.
wasn't it like 8 years ago the last time he played in an olympic game? lol
e/ and olympics is like essentially 1 extra playoff series (8 games) of well-managed minutes/energy
