League paid incentives

[SlyPokerDog]

I was just talking with Mags about what if the league had league paid incentives. For example every team pays in to the league $5 million. That would give the NBA a pool of $150 mill to payout to players for various things like...

$2 mill for making the all star team.

$3 mill for making the all NBA 1st team

$2 mill for making the all NBA 2nd team

$1 mill for making the all NBA 3rd team

WC or EC player of the month - $1 mill

WC or EC player of the week - $500,000

All defensive team $1mill

Sportsman of the year - $2 mill

That way you would have standardized fan friendly incentives that wouldn't count towards the salary cap.

Why? I think most players have enough incentive to make the all star team or an all NBA team.

I'm talking about if there is a $45-50 hard cap. A star player could sign for $8mill a year but could still potentially make $14-16mil a year.

Also in a player like Brandon Roy he would be getting financial rewards during his rookie contract instead of getting rewarded for his past achievements on his new contract.

Not a bad idea at all. However, I feel like the way the All-Star teams are selected would need to be tweaked. The fan vote would basically have to go away.

That's why I give higher $$ to first team all NBA.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm glad you thought of that sly. I was getting worried that you can't come up with any bright ideas!

Ahh, I get it now. Good idea.

I really like that idea if there is a hard cap.
