Among all of the contracts that the Sixers handed out this offseason, Caleb Martin’s might be the most creative.
Martin signed a four-year deal with $35 million guaranteed and another $5.25 million in unlikely-to-be-earned incentives. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, he’ll earn an extra $1.2 million “if he plays in at least 67 games and Philadelphia wins 49 games and then reaches the second round of the playoffs.”
All three of those should be achievable. Martin played only 64 games last year, but he played 71 in 2022-23. Meanwhile, the Sixers won 47 games last year despite Joel Embiid missing half the season, and they’ve made it to the second round of the playoffs five times in the past seven years.
