The recently signed four-year, $80-million contract between the Houston Rockets and Dillon Brooks is believed to include bonuses and incentives, reports Kelly Iko of The Athletic.

The terms and amounts of those bonuses and incentives have not been disclosed, but they could make the contract much more team-friendly than it initially appeared. There are no player or team options on the deal, Iko previously reported.

It’s the latest example in a contract trend under Rockets general manager Rafael Stone. Deals are initially presented in media reports as being much more player-friendly than they actually are.

Friday’s agreement between the Rockets and Fred VanVleet was first reported as a three-year, $130-million deal before news emerged that the third year was a team option, effectively making it a two-year deal in terms of guaranteed money.

Similarly, in 2022, contract extensions reached with Kevin Porter Jr. and Jae’Sean Tate were initially reported with the maximum potential earnings from each deal. In subsequent days, news of the various bonus, incentives and option structures were disclosed.

Time will tell as to the significance of those with Brooks.
