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跟火箭达成2年20M的续约，但其中包含几个特别的点，首先事实上他的薪资是2.56M
的底薪，但涵盖大量的激励金额，高达7.44M的激励奖金让他的空间站额有可能达到10M，
而且这让NeNe能在1/15日后以薪资实体10M来进行交易
(他的激励条款大部分都不是unlikely Bonus，也就是上季没有达到的条件，所以会直接
算在实体薪资空间)
1.出赛10场且球队拿下至少52胜，能得到2.435M
2.出赛25场且球队拿下至少52胜，能得到2.5M
3.出赛40场且球队拿下至少52胜，能得到2.5M
这些都是属于能达到的条件所以是会计入薪资空间的，因为火箭上季得到了53胜，NeNe也
出赛了42场
Unlikely Bonus是不能超过保障薪资的15%，换言之就是只能有384K(因为NeNe的薪资起点
是底薪)
火箭目前低于税线353K(如果不包含激励奖金的7.44M，其实只要在球队52胜的条件之前裁
掉这个都很好处理，一定能压下去)，另外如果NeNe在2/15日前还没被裁，交易大限9天后
，他2020-2021的2.69M将会转为全额保障
