No, traditionally - and probably in the union contract - the players get to decide how to split the player's share of the money for the playoffs. Even the teams that lose in the first round get some playoff money.
This year's shares are like $200,000 for a full one.
I think he deserves it. He was with them for half the season and ultimately, he was part of the team for years. It might not "seem" like a popular decision, but there are 50 full shares and even team doctors get voted a playoff shares from what I understand.
So its not like some guy is getting shafted here, IMHO.
