Bonuses appealing by Kansas City Kings vs Stepien offers
Kansas City Kings appeal incentive bonuses offered by Cleveland Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien to Otis Birdsong and Scott Wedman. Kings argue bonuses are unique to Cleveland and cannot be matched. Stepien signed Birdsong to 5 years at up to 1 million including incentives, Wedman to 5 years up to 800,000 with possible bonuses. An NBA arbitrator will hear the dispute after the 15 day matching window.
