The Pelicans are two wins away from taking home the title of inaugural NBA in-season tournament champions and a nice chunk of change.
Players on each of the four remaining teams will make at least $100,000, while that jumps to $200,000 for the two squads that make the final and $500,000 to whoever wins it all.
While $500,000 is a nice payday for anyone, it’s significant for the players who aren’t playing on max or near-max contracts. One of those names is New Orleans guard Jose Alvarado, who revealed his incredible family-first plan for the money while speaking with Andscape’s Marc J. Spears.
