Roy's contract: How much are we truly on the hook for?

[magnifier661]

Isn't there incentives added to the base pay? I doubt he hits any of them. So if you take them out; how much is truly the Blazers on the hook for. Regardless, it's still a lot to dish out. I just want to know how much it is.

The only "incentives" were that the last 25% of the last year (2014-15) were unguaranteed, and he had to meet only one of the following to get the other 25%. (which comes out to a little under 5M)

Contract contains a trade kicker for the lesser of $4,000,000 or 15%. The final year is only 75% guaranteed, but becomes fully guaranteed if any one of the following happens:

1) The team obtains a permanent total disability insurance policy of at least $17,000,000 from an insurance company with an AM Best financial strength rating of A- or better.

2) The team secures insurance coverage under the NBA TTD Program.

3) The team wins the NBA Championship in any of the following seasons: 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, or 2013-14.

4) Roy is selected to the NBA All-Star team in at least three of the following seasons: 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, or 2013-14.

5) During the 2013-14 season, Roy plays in at least 55 of the team's regular season games.

6) During the 2013-14 season, Roy's team makes the playoffs and Roy plays in 80% of team's playoff games.

His contract has hardly any performance based bonuses IIRC

This looks like a contract Roy's agent put together and basically Portland said "Whatever man, lets do this!" Hahahahaha

No. THat was not the case at all. If you remember, the Blazers didnt even want to give the player option in year 5 and wanted it to be a team option. Those negotiations drew out for over two weeks, and only after delusional Blazer fans started getting angry at management did they give in to all of Roy's demand. Sounds familiar huh? Blazer fans that dont know shit pushing to never amnesty Roy....

sigh

$63.9 million remaining on his contract that is guaranteed, according to my numbers.

Not to mention tax money on top of that

Yes, and the nail was the size of a stake to Dracula's heart. Pritchard not only did no negotiating, he took Roy's side against management, and complained to Roy that Pritchard himself was underpaid.

Pritchard is a great public relations specialist, an average head scout, and a terrible businessman/GM.
