Feel like Vlade deserves a lot of credit for what happened with Hield’s contract here.

I predict that the previously unstoppable GSW dynasty will not prevail this season, nor will there be a new Raptors dynasty to replace it. Other than that I am bad at predicting NBA seasons in advance and will refrain from it itt.

i think likely and unlikely incentives have been around for a bit and are just being more widely reported. guys like nate duncan always joke that a lot of agents want to do stuff like use unlikely incentives to get a contract to $100M so it can be reported that way in the news.

with the news today that klay is prob out for the whole season now i could see the warriors measuring the first 25 games and if the results arent great (or if dray/curry get slightly banged up)... tanking
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 16:58 (four years ago) link
They've been tanking since the moment the season ended imo
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
i hope they dont :(

If they finish with a top-ten record they lose their first rounder to Brooklyn.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:05 (four years ago) link
The only way I could see them tanking is if Steph has a minor injury that they stretch to 40 games a la DRob
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:33 (four years ago) link
i'm sure every game is already pre-sold out but no team moving into a new arena has ever wanted to tank
