So he’s resting 2 out of the first 7 games??
This is so odd I’m so many ways...So he’s either just on a pitch count on the side of caution..which will hurt/eliminate his MVP chances..IMO him potentially winning MVP helps Toronto to pitch him to stay.
Or he’s still not 100% and has his good days or bad days in health...which pretty much means Spurs were probably correct on the diagnosis....but also means he really wasn’t faking an injury but still makes him a by the way he handled things...
Does this hurt his pockets even more? If he bolts Toronto he loses money but if your an LA franchise do you pay him top max $$ if he plays mays 69 Games the past two seasons??
Also imo probably explains why SA didn’t offer super max...
