Great way for our IU guys to open the playoffs.  All 3 with wins and an especially convincing win for Vic and the Pacers with a 98-80 beat down of the Cavs in Cleveland.  OG's next game is Tuesday and Vic and EG play again on Wednesday.

Some of the advanced statistics from LeBron's supporting cast are scary bad from yesterday.

 

Defensive rating with Clarkson on the court - 118.4

Defensive rating with Clarkson off the court - 96

Offensive and defensive rating with Jeff Green on the court - 72 offensive rating, 108.3 defensive rating for -36.3 net rating

Offensive and defensive rating with Jeff Green off the court - 99.1 offensive rating, 102.2 defensive rating for -3.1 net rating.

 

Funny that some Lakers fans thought Jordan Clarkson was anything but bad when he first came onto the scene. Guy was never anything but a bad player putting up numbers on horrible teams. Jeff Green needs to retire....

Big Pay Raises Coming for G League Players

The N.B.A. is instituting a long-anticipated salary increase in its developmental league, according to two people familiar with the league’s plans.

Effective next season, players signed to G League contracts will earn $35,000 — or $7,000 per month — in addition to housing and insurance benefits over the course of the league’s five-month regular season, according to the people, who were not authorized to discuss the plans before they are announced publicly.

Players under G League contracts previously earned either $26,000 or $19,000. The increase will represent a pay raise of 35 percent or 84 percent, depending on the player’s classification.

The N.B.A. pays all player salaries in the G League.

Players also will remain eligible to earn affiliate player bonuses worth as much as $50,000, which are triggered when a player goes to training camp with an N.B.A. team and then plays for that team’s G League affiliate.

The G League will expand to 27 teams next season when the Washington Wizards introduce the Capital City Go-Go. That will leave Denver, New Orleans and Portland as the only N.B.A. teams that do not field a direct G League affiliate.

N.B.A. teams will continue to have the ability to carry two players on their rosters using what are known as two-way contracts. Starting next season, according to the new salary figures, such deals will pay $77,250 in the G League (prorated for days spent on a G League roster) and an N.B.A. rookie minimum salary prorated for days spent with their N.B.A. team.

The $77,250 is an increase from $75,000 this season, and it means the maximum potential earnings for two-way players in the 2018-19 season will be $385,000.

The 2017-18 season was the N.B.A.’s first to feature two-way contracts. Eighty-three players signed such deals, while a record 50 players on G League contracts received N.B.A. call-ups.

I like these changes. NBA ticket prices will rise though to cover it.

I went and tried out for the Mad Ants this past September. The money would definitely not have been worth it. I make 25k where I am now lol. Good to see them raising the salary. I think you will definitely see more HS kids make the jump now.
