Well it’s attractive for a large number of players imo because if the 500k is upfront that’s a pretty good prize
Players get paid on the 1st and 15th so if you make like 8 mil that’s like 660k twice a months. That’s almost one paycheck to blow
For guys like Russ who make 4 mil that’s something significant
I mean I know you really mean the stars and that I don’t have an incentive for
But I think that’s why the in season tournament is fused with reg season games so it doesn’t really affect anything for the stars except a small bump if you win. I mean you gonna play the games regardless so an extra 500k is cool
Nate jones (lillard’s manager/marketing guy) said they should reward the winning team with an automatic play in spot
