Would be amazing for the Nuggets if somehow the T'Wolves, Clippers and Mavs all ended on one side of the bracket.

Teams are going to use it as way to circumvent bonuses as well. Same thing as the NFL does. I feel like if a guy was healthy and not on the injury report and/or played but just didn’t play a lot of minutes, he shouldn’t be penalized.
Playing time is predicated on coaching anyway. Denver tried to sit Russell Wilson because they didn’t want to pay him

Really don't see that happening in this league. At least with the upper echelon players.

I seen something about Doc giving Nate Robinson DNPs (even though Nate was a role player) and it cost him 1.5 million in bonuses
Front offices and owners are definitely aware of incentives and bonuses. It’s really a slippery slope and I personally wouldn’t want an incentivized contract. To much of a gray area at times

That's fair, but I don't see a front office telling the coach to not play a top 15-20 player because of the bonuses.

The clippers and the mavericks are destined to play each other in the 1st round forever

Some of you guys don’t watch the sport but it feels like the last day in a close European soccer season.
So many implications, some team could end up getting relegated.
All these scenarios are nuts

I think incentived contracts are a joke. The NBa should simplify. Have 2 year contracts. Set a max and a min. And a hard cap you can’t spend over. No such thing as luxury tax etc. This allows teams to not get mired into bad contracts for long term and for players to earn what they are actually worth. If you’re taking a risk 2 years is fair to both a player and a team considering the life changing sort of dollars that these players earn. The only players this arguably hurts is those superstar level talents that are constantly hurt or constantly sitting for some reason. Everyone else benefits.

This would squeeze all but the top 15-20 players in the league. The PA would never do this.

Spurs might still be trash next year but i expect Wemby to outplay Jokic consistently head to head going forward.

Wemby gone come back yoked up like Giannis.

Javonte went from G-League for like 90% of the season to starting (granted it's the Bulls). Very dope grind.

Starting all the games at the same time to end the year is always a great idea; MLB has done it recently. Everyone checking scores & switching between games.
Feels like the first two days of the NCAA tournament.

PHI-MIA play in with the reward to face Boston, that's lit

I’d rather play Cleveland, Orlando or even Indiana than Philly/miami. Especially with Gianni’s’ injury
