Life, friends, is boring

Dahntay Jones added a technical foul in Game 4, which brought his playoff fines to $9,000. That leaves him just $127 from his season salary of $9.127.

Even $127 is too much money for that dude. He's a trash player.

It takes a really special kind of player to cost his team points and possessions while he is sitting on the bench costing himself his entire season salary.

Does the NBA give playoff shares or is Jones literally paying to play? Sure Lebron is giving him some money either way though tbh.

There are playoff shares, I can't find the updated figure but if we extrapolate from these two sources
http://insidehoops.com/playoffs-salaries-pool.shtml (Playoff pool in 2006= 10m, First round exit gets $149,243)
http://www.espn.com/dallas/nba/story/_/id/12787917/rajon-rondo-does-not-get-playoff-share-dallas-mavericks (Rondo does not get first round share so distribution must vary team to team, not guarantee. This is 2015

quote:

The other 14 players on the roster evenly divided $208,940, which is awarded to teams that lose in the first round of the playoffs. Houston beat Dallas in five games in the best-of-seven series.

So we just rough it out and say 1.4x more than the 2006 shares, that means if the Cavs lose they split 1,643,000 among the players? If that's divided an equal 15 ways it's like 11,000 per player. After taxes Dahntay will be making minor league baseball money


Edit: I found some real numbers from 2016

quote:

The NBA will award a total of $15 million to the league’s top teams this year, officials told FOXBusiness.com. This year’s Playoff pool is the largest in league history, surpassing last year’s tally of $14 million.

The winning team in this year’s NBA Finals will earn $2,656,422, to be split amongst its players, coaches and staff members. The losing team gets a consolation prize of $1,760,210 – probably not enough to cure the sting of falling short, but a solid payday nonetheless
So bump it up by a little bit and call it 1.8m, an even split 15 person gives Dahntay a cool 12g's, but who knows how they'll split it among the front office etc. He should come out in the black, anyway

Tonight the Cavs will continue their upcoming 4-game win streak by again dominating the entire game and sending the weak Golden State Warriors crying for their wives or side chicks as they meekly gather their jaws off the floor from the embarrassment of 75 straight Cavs slam dunks.

LeBron has clearly entered Monstar mode and is willing his team to victory once more. You may call this a homer post, but I have looked into my crystal ball and determined that there is no other outcome except a game seven Cavaliers victory and a shameful Warriors offseason of their free agents all joining the true best team in the West, the Sacramento Kings.

Mostly the parts where he says Draymond never called him after game 7 and he "never watches the finals" then doubles down on those statements.

It's not heresies or anything, it's just that there are videos of him watching the finals and he's talked about watching the finals in several previous interviews so it's a bizarre thing to lie about. edit: And I like Draymond so I don't think he was lying in that interview so therefore KD is lying now.

You can lie a ton without them being separate lies of type. You're in the clear. Repeating the lie counts towards the ton.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/11/kevin-durant-joe-lacob-shed-more-light-on-durants-free-agency-decision/

quote:

Durant: “I was telling one of my friends, Rich (Kleiman, his agent), who’s here, we were watching Game 7. Well, as it started to unfold, it was, ‘No question, no way could you go to this team.’ And I was just like a kid, like, in a candy shop. I’d get wide open 3s, I could just run up and down the court, get wide open layups. I was basically begging him. I was like, yo, this would be nice. So as I was thinking about my decision and who I was gonna play for, this team came to mind. You know, as they lost, it became more and more real every day. You start to think about it even more. To see if I would fit. Then once I sat down with these guys, everything that I wanted to know about them they kinda showed me. But we don’t have to talk about it though because they didn’t get the job done and they came after me and who knows what would’ve happened. But I guess you could say I’m glad that they lost.”
