The NBA and Players Association has made ruling on Nene’s two-year,
$20M deal to return to Rockets: Contract will keep its $2.6M base but
will exclude the “likely” bonuses of more than $7M per year as a
salary in a trade, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium
Rockets are no longer able to use Nene’s full $10M salary as trade
chip, per league and union agreement. Houston signed Nene, discussed
similar proposal for Iman Shumpert, potentially to move for someone
like Andre Iguodala. Nene still has opportunity to earn $7.4M in bonuses.
根據Shams Charania的報導，聯盟決定直接堵上Morey在Nene合約上鑽的漏洞，
其中740萬的"likely bonus"在確定生效前將不能被算在交易薪資裡使用，
換句話說如果Nene被交易，他的薪資配平將是以260萬來計算。
