After the Lakers won the championship, these two people may be traded, why not $500,000 in prize money?
The NBA's first mid-season championship finals, this mid-season championship has a high gold content, and 30 teams are all working hard to compete, because after winning the championship, each person has 500,000 US dollars plus a gold medal, and the team has a gold cup.
But not many teams particularly care about this, 500,000 is a bit tempting for the marginal players with a pure base salary, but many of them can't play, and they can't decide the game, the main players won't do their best for the 50, they have so many fines, the mid-season championship champion, only let the team keep the playoffs or even guarantee a place, everyone will do their best, and the head coach can also arrange a rotation break, this game will only go to the semifinals stage, the team will play seriously, the ratings are because of the weekend, and there are no other games in the NBA that day。
The Lakers are going to be traded, one is Vincent, who was injured after playing 4 games, and now look at the combination of Reddish and Van der Biao, who has experienced the marking of the 1-3 position, and is taller than Vincent. If Vincent's performance is mediocre after his return, there is a high probability that he will be put on the shelf, after all, the Lakers are now short of three-point shooters.
The other is Wood, who is not affected by injuries and is not even reused. In the 3 knockout rounds, he only played a little in garbage time, and he was able to play the stats, but the opponents got better stats on him. Ham has already distrusted him with practical actions, and Bush Eyebrow can't play an average of 40 minutes per game, maybe he will have to trade Wood for an interior bench player.
James won both times, led the Lakers to win the first mid-season championship, and won the mid-season MVP, the first championship will be remembered by history, and the significance of winning the championship is needless to say, this is a win-win result. James cares about the championship because this is the first year, and his little brother cares about the prize money, and now the honorary prize money is available. It is estimated that the whole team is now more motivated to compete for the championship this season.
The bonus is not 500,000, Su Qun made a science popularization of the after-tax bonus received by the Lakers players, and actually has to pay federal taxes and California state taxes, and the prize money is $231,000. The Lakers are now tasting the championship, and the team is more united, and James is in good shape this season, he is the basic plate of the Lakers. This year is more fierce than last year, all kinds of sudden others can't pull it at all, the first two years feel really old, this year I feel like it's back. It's a time that belongs to him, he created it all, and basketball has become more popular because of his presence.
