Read below for details on each player:
Richard Hamilton
Richard Hamilton signed a three-year, $37.5 million extension in November 2008. The third season is guaranteed for $9 million until July 1, 2012, and the contract also contains $150,000 in unlikely incentives, according to ShamSports.com.
His cap hold following the final season of his contract will be the maximum salary – the greater of $14 million or 35 percent of the salary cap. Because the salary cap has yet to be determined for future seasons, $14 million will be used when computing team salary with options and holds.
Tayshaun Prince
Tayshaun Prince signed a five-year, $7.5 million contract in October 2005.
His cap hold will be the maximum salary – the greater of $11 million or 30 percent of the salary cap – in the summer of 2011. Because the salary cap has yet to be determined for future seasons, $11 million will be used when computing team salary with options and holds.
Ben Gordon
Ben Gordon signed a five-year, $58 million contract in July 2009.
If Gordon doesn’t opt out, his cap hold will be the maximum salary – the greater of $11 million or 30 percent of the salary cap – in the summer of 2014. Because the salary cap has yet to be determined for future seasons, $11 million will be used when computing team salary with options and holds.
Charlie Villanueva
Charlie Villanueva signed a five-year, $37.7 million contract in July 2009. It contains unlikely performance incentives, according to ShamSports.com.
If Villanueva doesn’t opt out, assuming his 2013-14 salary is above the league average, his cap hold will be the maximum salary – the greater of $11 million or 30 percent of the salary cap – in the summer of 2014. Because the salary cap has yet to be determined for future seasons, $11 million will be used when computing team salary with options and holds.
Jason Maxiell
Jason Maxiell signed a four-year, $20 million extension in October 2008.
Assuming Maxiell’s 2012-13 salary is below the league average, his cap hold will be $10,000,000 – double his previous year’s salary – in the summer of 2013.
Will Bynum
Will Bynum re-signed with the Pistons in July 2010.
The deal includes unlikely incentives. Bynum’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said his client’s contract was worth $10.5 million – not the $9.75 million it totals in base salary. I’m guessing those unlikely incentives total $750,000.
Bynum’s cap hold will be $7,000,000 – double his previous year’s salary – in the summer of 2013.
Chris Wilcox
Chris Wilcox signed a two-year, $6 million contract in July 2009.
His cap hold in the summer of 2011 will be $3.9 million – 130 percent of his previous salary.
Greg Monroe
Greg Monroe signed for the typical 120 percent of the rookie scale after being drafted in 2010.
If Monroe becomes a free agent in 2014, assuming his 2013-14 salary is below the league average, his cap hold that year will be $12,259,362 – three times his previous salary.
Rodney Stuckey
Rodney Stuckey signed for the typical 120 percent of the rookie scale after being drafted in 2007.
Stuckey’s cap hold in the summer of 2011 will be $8,301,378 – three times his previous salary.
Ben Wallace
Ben Wallace signed a two-year contract in July 2010, taking the Bi-Annual Exception. Contrary to initial reports, he will make the full BAE.
Wallace’s cap hold in the summer of 2012 will be $4,492,800 – double his previous salary.
Austin Daye
Austin Daye signed for the typical 120 percent of the rookie scale after being drafted in 2009.
If Dyes becomes a free agent in 2013, assuming his 2012-13 salary is below the league average, his cap hold that year will be $8,874,231 – three times his previous salary.
Tracy McGrady
Tracy McGrady signed a one-year, minimum salary contract in August 2010.
His cap hold in the summer of 2011 will be $1,622,617 – 120 percent of his previous salary.
Jonas Jerebko
Jonas Jerebko signed a two-year minimum-salary contract in August 2009, according to ShamSports.com. The second year became fully guaranteed June 30, 2010. (It was only 50 percent guaranteed prior.)
His qualifying offer in the summer of 2011 will be $1,059,293 – the minimum contract for a third-year player plus $175,000.
The qualifying offer will also serve as his cap hold.
DaJuan Summers
DaJuan Summers signed a two-year minimum-salary contract in August 2009, according to ShamSports.com. The second year became fully guaranteed June 30, 2010. (It was only guaranteed $500,000 prior.)
His qualifying offer in the summer of 2011 will be $1,059,293 – the minimum contract for a third-year player plus $175,000.
The qualifying offer will also serve as his cap hold.
Terrico White
Terrico White, the Pistons’ 2010 second-round pick, signed a two-year contract in August 2010. The second season is partially guaranteed, but it is unclear how much.
His situation resembles Summer’ more than Jerebko’s – a player projected to be picked in the first round who fell to the second. So, I predict White’s second year will be closer to the $500,000 guaranteed Summers received than the 50 percent ($381,097.50) Jerebko got.
If his team option for the 2011-12 season is exercised, White’s qualifying offer in the summer of 2012 will be $1,090,243 – the minimum contract for a third-year player plus $175,000.
The qualifying offer will also serve as his cap hold.
Kwame Brown
Kwame Brown became a free agent after the 2009-10 season. Brown’s cap hold is $5,200,000 – 130 percent of his previous salary. There has been no indication the Pistons plan to re-sign him, and they will almost certainly renounce him if he doesn’t sign elsewhere.
Chucky Atkins
Chucky Atkins became a free agent after the 2009-10 season. Atkins’ cap hold is $854,389 – the amount of a minimum contract not covered by the NBA next season for veterans with more than two years experience. There has been no indication the Pistons plan to re-sign him, and they will almost certainly renounce him if he doesn’t sign elsewhere.
