The “tank” can make it possible to be richer… The guide is in Thunder where the majority of players will win a reward of close to a million dollars! Obviously, that’s not a performance bonus since OKC finished second to last in the Western Conference with 24 wins versus 58 losses.
In fact, if every player on the team has a bonus, it is simply because the leaders have not spent enough this season. As we know, in the NBA, the “salary cap” and “luxury tax” were set up to punish the richest franchisees, or at least prevent them from signing four or five stars at the maximum salary. This has always allowed for a balance of power.
But this notorious “salary cap” obliges the 30 franchisees to spend this money. The National Basketball Association (NBA) therefore requires that the 30 teams spend at least $101 million, or 90% of the $112 million “salary cap” set in 2021/202. If the team does not reach 101 million dollars, it must pay the difference to its players! It has already happened in the past on the Philadelphia side.
On trade deadline, OKC refused to trade draft picks for big paydays
This year, the Thunder only spent $79 million on payroll, so there’s $22 million in the coffers, and the rules state that this amount must be shared with the players on the roster. This is how Theo Maledon and his teammates, 25 players, will share this big bet.
” We are grateful for that. That’s all I can say about it Smiling Kenrich Williams who usually earns $2 million a year.
According to The Oklahomaman, the regulations state that players who have played 41 or more games receive the full bonus, and we’re talking about $1 million. Then it is proportional to the number of matches others have played.
” At the time of the trade deadline, we did not appreciate what we were offered to use this sum in exchange for draft choices.” Sam Prieste’s justification. “I still prefer those chances in the draft rather than the things that were presented to us. Our players will benefit from this decision, and I don’t know if it will happen again in the future because the franchise spends so little. »
