Here are the full details on the creative Nene contract with the Rockets. Hous
ton signed the veteran to a two-year $20M contract. However, the base comp for
2019-20 is $2.56M comparable to a minimum contract (but signed using the bird
exception) with $7.44M in likely bonuses, bringing his cap hit to $10M this s
eason. The full $10M cap hit can be used in a trade after Jan. 15. and is now
a valuable trade chip. The bonuses in his contract are broken down into 3 cate
gories; 1) $2.435M for playing at least 10 games and 52+ wins; 2) $2.5M for pl
aying at least 25 games and 52+ wins; 3) $2.5M for playing at least 40 games a
nd 52+ wins. The bonuses are deemed likely because Nene played in 42 games las
t season and the team won 53 games. Had the bonuses been unlikely, the Rockets
would have been capped at $384K (15% of his salary) in bonuses that could be
added for this season. The Rockets are now $353K below the luxury tax, not inc
luding the $7.44M in likely bonuses for this season. The $2.69M base comp in 2
020-21 becomes fully guaranteed if Nene is not waived by Feb. 15., 2020, nine
days after the trade deadline.
NeNe跟火箭達成2年20M的續約，但其中包含幾個特別的點，首先事實上他的薪資是2.56M
的底薪，但涵蓋大量的激勵金額，高達7.44M的激勵獎金讓他的空間站額有可能達到10M，
而且這讓NeNe能在1/15日後以薪資實體10M來進行交易
(他的激勵條款大部分都不是unlikely Bonus，也就是上季沒有達到的條件，所以會直接
算在實體薪資空間)
1.出賽10場且球隊拿下至少52勝，能得到2.435M
2.出賽25場且球隊拿下至少52勝，能得到2.5M
3.出賽40場且球隊拿下至少52勝，能得到2.5M
這些都是屬於能達到的條件所以是會計入薪資空間的，因為火箭上季得到了53勝，NeNe也
出賽了42場
Unlikely Bonus是不能超過保障薪資的15%，換言之就是只能有384K(因為NeNe的薪資起點
是底薪)
火箭目前低於稅線353K(如果不包含激勵獎金的7.44M，其實只要在球隊52勝的條件之前裁
掉這個都很好處理，一定能壓下去)，另外如果NeNe在2/15日前還沒被裁，交易大限9天後
，他2020-2021的2.69M將會轉為全額保障
