    haha I like the MVP clause...gave me an idea of my own

    We should offer Anderson the Aussie the minimum...but add an incentive of $50 trillion if he wins DPOY.

    If Matt Bonner hit one more FT this past year, he would have made his target and be $100k richer.

    Ya Bonner's bonus makes sense. Nick Saban had a clause that stipulated he got a $1,000,000 bonus if he won the BCS title. He did.

    I think I heard something Matt Bullard say some contracts were like this. He or someone he knew had a stipulations that if they got a certain percentage of Free throws they would get a bonus.

    Sideshow Bob gets 8m extra on his 42m/6 year contract if he leads the league in flops.

    Bonner then has a disincentive from taking off balance game winning threes. He should just hold the ball. Stupid incentive.

    That may be why Popovich had to keep goading him to shoot the ball.

    So what's the incentive clause for our team doctors if they are able to keep our star players healthy and play all the games together for at least a damn season?
