Maher: Work to do, creating an identity
No team should ever have stat based incentives.
Give Coops $100 per block and watch him foul out in under 5 min!
Give Bruce $100 per steal and watch him cheat on D all game and the team suffer.
Give Ballinger $100 for every charge and watch him flop more than Vlade! (while the ball handler shoots uncontested shots.)
Give the team a bonus if they hold opponents to under 90, more if its under 80- and watch them play slow ball.
Maybe a simple formulae based on salary and wins?
Just win.
Plus the extra money for playing finals...

gregory, you are an idiot. Your comment doesn't even make sense. Go back to school and get yourself an education.

A "commission" type basis is something that I have suggested in the past but that would not really work under the salary cap in that you would not be able to predict to the exact dollar how much you will be spending on the players. If you want to put them on contracts that total less than the salary cap to allow room for additional payments for performance, then you won't get players to sign. Whilst an incentive of additional payment is good, no one is going to sign on a lesser contract to make room for these additional payments. What you really need is good, honest down to earth players that will willingly put in 100% every time simply because they have the passion for the win and know that is what they are being paid for.

just have a clause that everyone gets a bit extra if they hold the opposition to below say 90 points, or do the reverse cut everyone a bit if the opposition scores more than say 95, and they lose. Wonder if that would pick up the hustle

Go back to 2nd grade, loser.

I like that Scott points out that defence and rebounding are constants. They are genuine effort based stats. Shots may drop, may go cold, solid D and board work are usually a reflection of endevour.
Noticed the Hawks had 20 Of boards comp to our 11...
10 extra shots...
We lost by 10pts...
It's like Jazz coach Sloan said when asked if his players had the green light to shoot;
"They have the green light to rebound and play D"
