It doesn’t make since to have all these summer league games with a roster that is made up with 90% of players that will not be on your team and not have a in game preseason with 15-20 players where you call try out different coaching strategies and rotations before the season start. Not to mention the risk of having an important injury while doing so.
There is not a preseason right now mostly because I have never really seen a need for it. The summer league games not only let you see what your rookies might be capable of doing but also some free agents you might want to keep an eye on or sign to a two-way contract or something to hold in your d-league.
I think (while realistic) most people would probably be more annoyed if they lost a good player to injury in the preseason. I mean if its something people really, really care about it could be built in but it just kind of seems like something extra to have to sim or play through without really having a significant benefit for doing so and the downside of injuries to deal with.
