Jordan Poole may sign a four-year, $140 million contract extension with Golden State Warriors , but he is unlikely to get every dollar he just agreed to.
According to Anthony Slater of the Sports News, in this transaction, Poole can only get at least $123 million guarantee, because other bonuses are rewards that he can only get to achieve a specific goal. Although this guaranteed amount cannot be underestimated, the remaining $17 million is also huge.
Basically, by each season, Poole has to work hard to get a $4.25 million prize. However, it is worth noting that only $1.25 million of these are possible rewards. Another $3 million is considered an unlikely reward.
On the unlikely target, Poole must get an MVP and a defensive player of the year to get $1 million from each achievement. If he is selected for the best team and best defensive team in nba, he will also receive $500,000 respectively.
Although it is not entirely impossible for Jordan Poole to achieve the contract goals set by the Warriors for him, it is certain that he will lose tens of millions of dollars in his contract process.
Poole may not mind, especially since he is only 23 years old. If he continues to improve, there are more high-paying contracts to sign in the future. He also plays for the Warriors , a team that is not afraid of spending a lot of money to retain top players.
