    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.

    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!
