The incentives are fairly easily reached too: He gets $620,454 by playing either 66 games or 1,772 minutes (pro-rated if the league doesn’t play an 82-game season) and another $477,273 for playing in the first round of the playoffs. That’s an extra $1.1 million per year right there, so you can pretty much count this as a $60 million deal. The games and minutes floors represent a bit of a hedge against his knee issues (although a well-placed spy tells me these concerns have been overblown), but the fact is that his base salary was already on the high side.

The other incentives range from more difficult ($143,182 each for making the conference finals and Finals) to unlikely but possible ($190,909 for winning it all) to straight-up LOL (he gets $334,091 if his DRating is less than 105).
