Why would the league prohibits teams from conducting organized team practices or functions in the offseason? This makes no sense in my opinion. If a team is obligated to pay players a yearly salary, that team should be allowed to organize functions to maximize a profit out of their investments. Those rules really need to be revised, because they are prohibiting teams to truly develop or improve the quality of basketball in this country. I do believe that those rules were drafted by a bunch of lazy players or lazy people..

My Guess is that the players union doesnt want the owners, GM, scouts, coaches to force the players to work (play ball under the owners rules) all year-round.

There are some rules that I totally agree with, but this one right there is stupid, especially if it is a voluntary thing. Players are not forced to come together...In the case of the Wolves, they took it upon themselves to get together....

As a side bar, Griffins probation officer and a judge thought it not a good idea for him to go to vegas!

So in order to build team unity, they went without him!

I think they should have done somthing more team building oriented like, or fly to a canadian isloated place and fish for 2 days and hike. Why be all fly in Vegas? These guys have enough
