Former Warriors player Iguodala participated in a podcast and talked about load management in the NBA.

"The concept of load management is always entangled by various statements, and then the responsibility is blamed on certain aspects. You have to think about where this thing comes from, and the concept of load management comes from the Spurs. I remember it very clearly because they reached the finals every year. If you reach the division finals for four consecutive years, it would be equivalent to playing one more season. In those four years, it would be equivalent to playing five seasons of games. Therefore, load management is reasonable because you have to attack the depths of the playoffs every year, and your core players are getting older. Big, their bodies have suffered more loss and burden. When GDP reached its 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th seasons, their bodies could no longer bear the same impact as they did when they were young, so load management made sense. Then, it was our turn, we reached the finals for five or six years in a row.

load management is reasonable, but the problem is, look at what happened, all the other teams started staring at the data analysis and said, 'Okay, our players need rest, our players need...' But some teams can't even enter the playoffs, some are eliminated in the first round, and they are still in the load management. "
