I hate Pre season

Last night, we lost another star to the pre-season. Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury after playing only 4 mins. Which begs the question why do we need a pre-season anyway. Now the Washington Wiz is already without Brandon Hayward, and Arenas. Now the season maybe lost and it hasn’t even started yet. This isn’t the fist time pre season has taking one of our stars. Remember when Micheal Vick went down, Clinton Portis and it’s many more examples. You might say we need it for the rookies and the young and free agents players to see if they will make the team. Wrong, the NBAhas summer league where the rooks and and young talent plays the entire time. Also they have the D-League that's features the under develop talent. The NFL has OTAand rookies camp months before the season starts and plus I thought that is what training camp and practice is for (and yes I’m talking bout practice). With the contracts in the NBAmost of them are guaranteed money so in most cases they already know who will be on the team. I think it would be fair if we just cut the pre and just started the season all the teams will be a the same starting point. Then if we did lose our favorite players it would be at least in a game that counts. Church
