No one cares about this tournament except you try hards who barely watch the non marquee games but swear y’all will watch and support this. Y’all fugazi
You’re just part of that overly negative group of NBA fans opposed to any sort of change but then complaining about guys not trying and not having an incentive. 500k for one game is more than most players make per game. I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. That’s the equivalent of a player who makes 41 million dollar per year. In other words, that’s more money than anyone not on a max is making per game. Moreover, with the 64 game minimum to be all nba, why wouldn’t players play hard in the regular season games? Only the championship game itself doesn’t count towards your stats. You think dudes are going to play hard on regular season games and then suddenly decide they don’t want that 500k in the actual title game?

no but if I’m the starting pg why would I play hard so Scoot can replace me

or If I’m Center (Wemby)

or SF (Miller)
:mjtf:


Because if you out there tanking you fukkin your money and rep up .

You don’t think if you told Luka,Spida, Fox or another star that’s on a fringe contender that If they win this extra game you can get a nikka like Wemby,or Scoot to join OR they can use that pick help trade for a legit nikka to help them win + a big ass check they’d turn it down ???

You worried about a nikka like Terrance Davis fukking it up ????

The current nba system is trash

Division titles don’t mean shyt
You can be an all nba player and not be shyt
You can exceed all expectations and lose in the finals and not be shyt
Win your conference? Nothing .
Fanbases rather lose than win games if you not a legit title contender
Now nikkas are against a tournament for flabby reasons .

But then complain about how the nba is trash until May

This is backwards as hell

A draft pick is more incentive for a franchise than a player. Case in point the Cavs drafting Bron. Look at how those Cav players thought of him

And you don’t win the tournament and you don’t get the $500k so wtf is the point behind it? And God forbid you injure yourself in a way that harms your future earnings for an “enhanced” regular season game.

its less than probably 10 players that make 500k a game. please Believe dudes gon play hard.
Y’all thinking ONE game instead of the YEARLY contract. You have to win the tournament to get the money. The nikkas who need that kinda money and care sitting at the end of the bench and y’all wouldn’t watch if they were starting.

Wtf are u talking about? That’s incentive for any player. 500k is a lot of money. 95% of the nba would appreciate 500k for a days work

Given the fact that 99% of the time a top 3 team wins the championship (literally only 3 times has a 4-8 seeded team won), how does this change anything?

The Dunk Wheel had more impact on an outcome than this.

They need to have an incentive like winner of the tournament gets first round bye, gets to choose a game a road game to play at home or something.

This is feature bloat on a product.

Concrete, Concrete like Greg Street
yeah for two reasons.

1. They are all legit rivals from over 100 years of play

2. All the lower teams are invited from the lower level leagues. Are the NBA gonna invite G-League teams? lol
Who cares….if it works great. If it doesn’t they cancel it and we’re back to the regularly scheduled program.
