This year, the all-star break was longer then ever because the players complained about needing more rest. This year, the NBA purposely arranged the schedule to reduce many teams' travel times. Yet, players are still taking lots of days off. I don't think it matters what the NBA does, players will always be wanting the rest.
If anything, they should require less commitment from the NBA players in the offseason. Leave it to the under 25 or go back to college players for the olympics and usa basketball competition.
The star players get way more money from their sneaker deals then the NBA pays them... so why should the be extremely committed to their teams? They are getting paid huge money regardless of how they perform on the court.

There's 82 games and guys sit for rest on average a handful of times, attendance isn't going to drop at an alarming rate that hinders the balance sheets of franchises because of this stupid hot take. TV deals is where the money's at anyway.
Rest and Injury are not the same thing.
Yes they do owe the fans something wth they fund the NBA.

Until every game is important like the NFL, it's going to keep happening. Until it's like one or two games a week, like in Europe, it's really unavoidable. By April, everyone has nagging minor injuries.

Why is it ok for guys in baseball to take days off for rest when they play a sport that's less demanding physically? Because they play twice as many games?

Another thing to factor in is some teams charge different prices for games depending on the team that's playing. This is determined before the season even starts. I'm talking face value box office prices, not stubhub resale prices.
Some teams will have their box office prices cost significantly less when the 76ers come to down while the box office prices will be significantly Higher when teams like the warriors and cavs come to town.
The Cavs were an undesirable draw 3 years ago. Now their a premier team and their tix are in demand. A team would charge way less for that games tix in 2013 then they would now and there's an obvious reason for that.
When the obvious reason is fully healthy and sits out but the fans paid more at the box office becsuse that one player made that game a "premium matchup" the fans have every right to pissed.

Calm down. You don't have to defend your lrecious warriors on this one. I was being facetious.
Chris Paul is about to get some well-deserved rest before the playoffs start. If some casul fan bought tickets expecting to see him, oh well.
This is coming from a season ticket holder btw.

Baseball tickets are generally less expensive then NBA tickets.
When a team comes to town, they usually play a 3-4 game set so if someone really wanted to see Bryce Harper play, they have multiple opportunities to see him play during that series whereas NBA teams visit road cities either once or twice a season.c

And if a guy takes 3 games off because of his kid being born, is that ok? Or are the fans being screwed over yet again?

A child being born is different then sitting out just because though.

This is false.
Dudes think all that yelling and screaming is indictive of being "intense". John Wall goes just as hard on the floor as Westbrook.

I get 12 weeks of paid bonding time as soon as we adopt or give birth to a child. Players should be able to take 3 months off, too.
Idk how the league would crack down on resting players. Couldn't pop just say Kawhi had flu-like symptoms? Then say he's day-to-day after straining something during practice?

Just say he's got diarrhea and stomach problems.
No one ever questions diarrhea.
