How To Structure Boogie's Contract

This is based on some of my own thoughts and a little bit based on what I hear they are discussing. Basically, they want to accomplish a few things. They would like to stay under the tax or barely go over it. And they also want to incentivize Boogie to play next year. Not just pay him to rehab. So, here is how you do the deal.

First, let me explain likely and unlikely incentives to you. Why? Because unlikely incentives can only count for 15% of the salary. What makes an incentive likely? Quite simply... They just look at last year and see if the guy did it last year. If he did, it's likely. If not, unlikely. With very few exceptions. So, with that said, the Pels could load the contracts with incentives, as long as Boogie did it last year. If he takes forever to recover, they don't pay him the incentives and don't go that far into the tax, if at all. But if he comes back, and plays a decent portion of the season, he gets close to his max.

Year 1:

20 Million Base

3 Million if he plays 48 games
3 Million if he plays 1700 minutes
2 Million if he scores 1200 points
2 Million if he grabs 600 rebounds

If he does all that, he is well worth the 30 million, and I would even allow him hitting all those bench marks to trigger an opt out of his contract if he hits 3 or 4. If he hits 2 or fewer, then year two is a team option with a similar structure
