Warriors’ playoff payday could top $4 million

The question yet to be answered is just how much of the NBA's $14 million playoff pool Golden State's players and coaches will ultimately collect.The league divies up the pool — which has increased by $1 million every two years since 2006 — by paying increasing amounts based on a variety of accomplishments: best record in the record season, being among the top six finishers in each conference, reaching and advancing through the playoffs, and reaching and winning the NBA Finals.According to a league news release, the Warriors have already garnered almost $1 million: $403,790 for the best regular-season record, $353,316 for the best record in the Western Conference, and $208,940 for making the playoffs.
