Wizards G John Wall's new deal with Adidas "calls for him to be paid, in principle," a base of $4.825M in '17-18; which then "increases marginally" and returns to $4.825M in '21-22, according to Jon Wertheim of SI.com. While Wall will "not have a signature shoe with Adidas, this deal permits him to collaborate on footwear with fellow clients" like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. Wall can "earn millions more if he meets various bonuses." His deal also calls for him to "receive a base salary increase" of $1M if he is named league MVP, and a $250,000 base increase for an All-NBA first team selection. If Wall is "injured and unable to perform," he is subject to "no reductions or pro-rations for the first two years." Not until '19-20 must he "play a minimum of 60 games to avoid pro-ration" (SI.com, 2/7).
