Welcome to the Athletic NBA show.

I'm Dave Before here with Mo DeKeele, and we mentioned earlier this week, we're in the dog days of summer.

So we threw out the old mailbag call and you guys answered, thank all of you for going over to the athletic

and asking questions for the mailbag mo we're at the point right now where we're starting to think

about training camp i'm wondering you know what are are these new faces going to look like in the new

places we talked earlier this week you know what do we think that new coaches are going to do like in the new places? We talked earlier this week.

You know, what do we think that new coaches are going to do?

So it's a good chance to check in and see what you guys are thinking about.

And Mo, if we jump right in, the first question, I think this is a good one because it gives us a chance to look back at last year a little bit.

This is from Jake W.

How successful or unsuccessful was the NBA's attempt to

limit load management this past season. Now, we set the 65 game threshold for awards.

And Mo, that clearly had an impact on the season, good or bad. I don't know, but it had an

impact on the season.

I mean, it depends on the team, right?

Like, if you're the Pacers, it was bad, right?

Tari's Halliburton pushed himself to play and never got fully healthy from a hamstring injury.

And I think that's kind of one of those things.

That's sort of the problem with the

65 game rule and then on the flip side you got basically a full season from kauai

Leonard I tell the playoffs where naturally he got hurt but you know you had it's kind of a mixed

bag in terms of who it helped and who it didn't help
