Disagree. This was negotiated by both owners and players in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Normally I would be the first to throw Miami under the bus... but in this case I understand the logic behind having fresh rookie Jovic and 2nd year Yurtseven put in the work with the team instead of away in Europe, given that they need to find a way to divide minutes among them to replace key glue-guy PJ Tucker. Among other things.

It would be way better for their game to play in a real and meaningful competition rather than dunk on a 5'9'' trainer
