On October 17, the Rockets and Potter signed a four-year contract of 82.5 million. According to many sources, Porter's contract is fully guaranteed in the first year, while the second year is partial guarantee and the guarantee amount is designed for constant time periods, and the fourth year is the team option.
Port's 4-year 82.5 million is basically in line with his value. Now the team's organizational guards are generally around 80 million in four years. For example, Bulls 's Ball 's , Raptors 's van Vleet, Celtics 's Brogdon 's all contracts, so 80 million 4 years is also the standard for the team's starting point guard.
Port can only get the full salary of about 17 million in the 23-24 season. In the 24-25 season, the Rockets will pay Porter a salary according to different time periods. For example, 4 million before December 1, 4 million before January 1, and 4 million before February 1. If Porter has not been cut for a season, he can receive his full salary of about 18.5 million in the 24-25 season. If the Rockets did not execute Porter's contract before January 1, Porter would have to receive a salary of 8 million yuan in the first two months and then leave.
Of course, Porter's third year contract will be the same as in the second year. The Rockets also pay him a salary according to different time periods. In the fourth year, the Rockets have the initiative to directly choose the team. Even if the Rockets execute Porter's contract, they are not afraid of him making trouble. This year is Porter's contract year and he can only play hard and strive for his next job.
The Rockets set various terms for Porter in this way was forced to set various terms for Porter. Porter was selected by Cavaliers in 2019. The Cavaliers originally wanted to train Porter as the main player, but the Cavaliers traded with Prince and others and gave Porter's locker room to Prince. Porter expressed strong dissatisfaction with the locker room and quarreled with the Cavaliers' manager. The Cavaliers had no choice but to send Porter to the Rockets without any return.
Potter played for one and a half seasons with the Rockets overall performance was quite peaceful, but in the Rockets' home game with the Grizzlies Porter and Wood jointly expressed their dissatisfaction with Silas in the locker room. Then Porter did not play the second half of the game and went home directly. Porter's naive practices also made the Rockets feel angry and almost swept Porter out.
However, Porter has changed a lot this summer. He took the initiative to train with Green and others and trained his three-pointers hard. Therefore, he can score 16.8 points, 4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals, shooting percentage 47.8% and three-point shooting percentage 52.3%. His progress is also seen, so the Rockets are willing to renew his contract with Porter, but the Rockets have also set various restrictions in the contract to protect their own interests. Porter is also willing to sign this contract. On the one hand, he wants to make money. On the other hand, Porter believes that he will play well and will never cause trouble again. His stubbornness must bow his head in front of money.
The Rockets' contract to Porter will also give Nets a lot of inspiration. Their contract renewal in Irving should set various terms like the Rockets to protect their interests. From Irving's level, he will get 250 million in 5 years. However, with Irving's personality, the Nets also have to set various terms. You can refer to Porter's contract and also ensure the full guarantee of Irving's contract in the first year. From now on, Irving will pay Irving's salary at a certain time node every year. If Irving is a bad person, the Nets will fire him to avoid the team's losses.
The Nets cannot be soft on Irving's issue, otherwise Irving will suffer endless troubles. If the Nets can constrain Irving by contract, he will play well, so that the Nets can protect their own interests.
For problematic players such as Porter, Irving, they should set various terms on the contract to put a tight curse on them. In this way, Porter, Irving dare not act rashly. The Rockets' contract to Porter also gave the Nets a fresh idea. They should restrict Irving on the contract to allow him to play well.
