I'll start by saying idk what the right solution is.
i really like the idea of playing a minimum of 65 games to be eligible for an award. I think thats good.
But tying millions of dollars to that is bad.
Like take Embiid. Everyone is like MVP dont matter. And its like ok cool. But MVP isnt just a legacy building award, its probably mad incentives in his contract if he wins it. We talking millions.
And for younger players, year end awards are tied to if they can get a super max or not.
We talking about tens of millions it costing them.
I like the idea of players not getting awards to put on their resumes if they dont play 60-65 games a season. All that is cool to me.
I just dont like it costing players this much money.
