Considering that Brook Lopez is the be all and end all for the Brooklyn Nets. I am not surprised that they have no plan to restrict Lopez’ minutes according to Nets GM Billy King via Nets Daily.
“Right now, there is no plan to put any restrictions on him, but I think as we do with all players through the preseason — whether you’re looking at KG or Deron, who’s coming off of ankle injuries — you build them up. You get them ready for the opening day of the season, but you’re really getting them ready for January, February, March and April. So I look at it like climbing a ladder throughout the season when you have veteran players. But I know Lionel is gonna push all these guys and challenge them physically. And whatever doctors allow Brook and Deron to do, Lionel is going to push them to that point.”
If I was the Billy King, I’d have to say this. Considering they scraped the Playoffs and actually got further than the first round. Imagine what they could’ve done with Brook Lopez on the floor. The Nets don’t have time to restrict his minutes. He’s healthy, the Nets are old as hell, time to get winning.
