500K For Not Shooting

Hah...good for him, but I'll bet the Trailblazers re-evaluate their incentive policies. Would have been sucked for him if they had missed the playoffs by losing a couple more of the last 3 games.

smart move by him and the Trailblazers.  forwards shouldn't be taking a lot of 3s, so the incentive makes him think about shot selection.

it may have helped his team win by him passing up on chucking 3s
