- Keyonte George’s new deal with the Utah Jazz is more than a routine extension.
- It is a five-year contract worth $157.5 million, and it also includes about $500,000 in incentives each season.
- According to the reported breakdown, George can earn $100,000 for playing at least 65 of 82 regular-season games, and another $100,000 for each playoff series the Jazz win.
- The Jazz expect a playoff series win to be attainable with this team, which gives the incentives a different feel than a generic performance bonus.
- George, for his part, sounded fully invested in staying in Utah when the extension was announced.
- “If it was up to me, I want to be around forever,” George said.
- Utah is paying him like a core piece, but the bonus structure makes the next step plain: availability, playoff wins and continued growth are all part of the deal.
