5 rule changes the NBA should consider because of the Warriors
1. The Warriors must have at least two players who are at least 35 years old on the court at all times
What’s one of the biggest disadvantages about this super team? The four super stars, Steph, Klay, KD and Dray, are all 29-years old or younger. They’re in heart of their physical primes and they’ve joined forces to destroy the rest of the NBA.
One of the biggest weaknesses about the Miami Heat teams circa 2010-14 was the age and lack of depth on those teams. For this Golden State team, they never seem to show much fatigue or wear and tear. Their main rotation players off the bench, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, look like they’re back in their younger days, even though they’re 33 and 31 respectively. So what’s the plan to slow down the Warriors?
Adam Silver, I suggest this rule change will add an interesting dilemma to Golden State: they must have two players who are at least 35 years old on the court at all times. This means that Golden State will have a depth that consists of older, injury-prone players similar to those Miami Heat teams.
