A lot of players are already breaking down at the end of the season. I know that you can say that there will be less pre-season games, but doesn't that mean that your starters will play more in them, so that you can get them ready for the season? I don't buy the injury argument, they happen in the regular season too.

On top of that, more starters going in pre-season = less evaluation of your younger and backup talent. I just don't see what good this can do for the players/teams.
