Many NBA players have incentive clauses in their contracts, the so-called "bonuses", which are activated after meeting certain conditions and receive some additional income. These provisions are either linked to honor or to attendance.
Honors are generally selected as All-Stars, for example, this year, Brown and others lost a lot of money because they were not selected as All-Stars.
Brown would therefore lose $1.4 million in prize money (at least 65 games), and if Brown played 65 games, he would have another $482,143 prize money. Sabonis can't get a $1 million prize. Randall didn't get a $990,000 prize. Holliday has an All-Star prize of 300,000.
And the attendance rate is generally because of the player's own injury. What impressed me most about Big Tuge was Embiid's 35-page, five-year, $146.5 million contract extension (effective 2018-19 season), which gave many terms on attendance.
If Embiid misses more than 25 regular-season games due to injury during the contract extension period and plays less than 1,650 minutes in a season, Philadelphia can cut Embiid for financial gain. Injuries here are limited to areas where Embiid has a history of injury, feet and back; if there is a new injury, the team will withdraw part of the salary. If the injury was enough to destroy his career, Philadelphia had the right to lay off just part of his salary.
If Embiid had played at least 1650 minutes in three consecutive seasons, he would have been paid the full salary of his contract.
It is trivial, but it protects the interests of both sides. It is worth mentioning that Embiid did not have an agent when he signed this contract. If so, it is estimated that it will not be so passive.
The end result was that Embiid got all the money.
Compared to Embiid's rules, Holliday's situation is much simpler.
Holliday's contract this season states that as long as he plays at least 67 games, he can get a reward of $306,000.
That 306,000 is easy to hold.
In the final game of the regular season, Holliday started and triggered the incentive clause to get 306,000.
Then because the rules were set on the number of games, not the time, as soon as the task was completed, Holliday deliberately fouled the opening 8 seconds and was replaced by the coach.
The old man who began fishing exclaimed, "The money has arrived!" ”
