I don't really understand what Damien Lillard ever resigned with the Portland Trailblazers.  I wonder if management somehow lied to him or told him they were going to do certain things but ended up not doing them.  If I were him, I'm hoping I get traded to a contender, of course, as I just think his time with Portland has come to an end. 

Kevin Porter Jr.'s career in the NBA has got to be over. His alleged attack on his girlfriend who played in the WNBA, Kysre Gondrezic has left her with a broken neck. He’ll be lucky to avoid a lengthy prison sentence in my opinion, but even if he does I would hope that the NBA never pays him another penny after this incident.

Its a shame, KPJ looked really solid with other youngins on the rockets. Its gonna be bad for him since Houston will be needing him and on rebuilding phase but they still have Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and of course that dawg Dillon Brooks whos been in super saiyan mode on FIBAWC .

And also Fred Vanvleet and Jeff Green is solid addition for the rockets since they will be also need Veteran presence. The Rockets will be doing good next season

Obviously the 10 players we see are or were great players in the NBA at 1 point in their careers, but like you said Lebron is older. Not only Lebron is older , but KD is getting older, dame very old, Kyrie old, and Draymond old. They are still valuable players on their respective teams, but youth is going to wear these old guys out.

Yeah, but that's the problem. They don't want to cut the number of games too so this will be a rule that needs a lot of rethinking before they approve whatever the NBA is proposing because those stars in fatigue mode will be injury-prone which will lead to longer resting time which also means fewer money in the blackhole wallet of NBA.

Don't forget Lebron James and Westbrook. Despite playing almost every game in the season, they are not the injury-prone type of players. Always active, always there to play for the game, the love for basketball is there. And today, there's Nikola Jokic who averages 72 games played, most games played is 80 games, and did it twice in his career.
How about Kevon Looney? Two consecutive years without an absence and both of them have minutes played. They should give awards to those types of players. 
There are still players who love playing ball but there are those who like ranting on social media despite their big salaries. They cannot please everyone but the NBA must also find a way to avoid both player fatigue and not ruining the game at the same time.

You know as they say, the NBA has become too soft nowadays. The highlights of the game are mostly from the three-point area or long-range shooting. No one defends the inside as hard as the 90s, nor is there anyone even brave enough to play like that because of the current rules governing the game. I know that they are actively going against players that are 'flopping,' but I don't think it's enough of a change to bring back at least a semblance of basketball wherein defenders are actually trying to prevent the enemy team to shoot.

^^ In the end, it all comes down to money. As long as something is not damaging the income, it is not going to bother anyone too much. I bet if it was anything related to the flow of money in the NBA, it would have been “fixed” immediately. And I don’t think there is actually any way to ban resting players. If they say that those players are not injured even though the doctor says that he is, it is going to be a problem. Injuries are already a big problem in the NBA. And now they will be officially overlooking the health of a player if they say that. The press is going to have a field day if that actually happens.

And players itself is not the same, they are more on the safe side, more on highlights and forget about the defense. I mean, like what you said with the current rules, best defenders can be fouled out in the early minutes of the game.

More on how the league regulations to adjust and how to bring back the interest of those fans who already
left as they no longer see the entertainment due to the softness or whatever reason behind.

The big deal is people pay $100-200 for a ticket to an NBA, parking, dinner, souvenirs, and snacks at a ball game. That's the minimum a person spends and it's per person.

Let's say I bought a ticket to Lebron play against the Warriors, AD is my fav player but he played last night so he will sit tonight. Because he's load managing I wasted my money buying my ticket to see him play. It's really a load of bullshit. These people get paid millions of dollars(paid by the fans) to play the damn game. Paid better than Doctors, Lawyers, Nurses, Teachers, and everyone else for entertaining people. They play 50% of the time. Sure, I get to see an NBA game, but I feel cheated at this point and it's not right.

Why should the owners and players be the only ones happy? IMO the fan's pay the bills in 1 way or another and those players should be there to please us, not their bank accounts for half the games.

I would still consider them a championship contender team. Well, Draymond should be biased with his words because he is confident in his team. Now that he has a clutch player with him, unlike Poole, who struggled in the playoffs, maybe that gives him the confidence. It's still too early, though, but I like the optimism coming from Draymond, as I know it's sincere, given his evident passion for basketball.
