Do NBA teams/players get financial benefits for deep playoffs run?

[FTBS]

nah then you'd have nikkas sabotaging their team for some stacks cause they'd be out there chuckin

How would one benefit from sabotaging their own team? Especially in a system where the farther you go the more money you make.

Far be it from me to question what a nikka will do however why would a nikka sabotage their squad if the key to getting the numbers up is winning?

The owners come up nicely during the playoffs

No bloated over paid contracts

Extra Gate Receipts

i read your original post wrong thought you said that guys get paid extra based on how far the team goes and how well they play

 

[threattonature]

I thought I read it was like a $100,000 bonus per round or something like that per player. I know when Barkley played he said that's why some playoff series were so lopsided. Players already got their playoff bonuses and knew htey weren't winning so they'd say fukk it let's make it to vacation.

 

[intruder]

Call me naive but I thought it had something to do with wanting to play on a better team...

If such benefits exist, how do they work? Is it something established by the L (kind of "stadardized", or is it every single team that decides how they approach this? And wouldn't it count towards the salary cap anyway?

Honest questions breh, I just don't know how it works

You are naïve

It is set by the league and it's based on a percentage of the player's base salary. Basically additional game checks

NBA Playoff Bonus Money - ESPN

Are these amounts cumulative? So if the spurs win the finals do they get the best record bonus + best in conference bonus + 1/2/3 round bonus?

They get playoff money and can vote on who gets share of it too
