Jrue Holiday and his contract

Jrue signed deal for 126 millions guaranteed, with incentives which can increase its value up to 150 millions.

Per Eric Pincus it starts from 24,67 millions and goes as high as 26 millions

We are all assuming that those incentives are 'unlikely'. But it is not assured.

Per CBA
- Bonuses deemed unlikely to be achieved are limited to 15% of the base salary in each season of the contract at the time of signing. All bonuses are re-evaluated at the end of each season, to determine whether they should be reclassified as likely or unlikely.
Per Cap expert A. Nahmad -
- NBA determines whether a bonus is deemed likely or unlikely to be achieved based on whether the criterion was achieved in the previous season. For example, if a player averaged 7.0 assists per game in 2016-17, then a performance bonus for 2017-18 based on 7.0 assists per game would be classified as “likely to be achieved” (and included in the player’s cap hit), but a bonus based on 8.0 assists per game would be classified as “unlikely to be achieved” (and not included in the player’s cap hit). Therefore, it’s rather easy to structure a bonus for a guy like Waiters, who played just 46 games last season, which might be considered unlikely to be achieved but, in reality, seem imminently achievable.

So Jrue has guaranteed 126 millions
15% of this amount MIGHT be unlikely- it is 18,9 millions

so from 24 millions - 18,9 millions are unlikely. so 5,1 should be likely.

so at least additional 1 million/year might be included in his salary. at least.

Those estimations are based on data given by now.
of course it all may differ..

but it may not
and this deal may look worse
