After coming up short vs. the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals, Clint Capela has reason to be extra disappointed.

Capela, who turns 25 next week, signed a five-year contract extension worth $90 million last offseason. The deal was structured with less money upfront and additional cash flow later in the process. The big man would have been able to potentially recover some of that money based on bonus incentive with an additional earning potential that allowed up to $2 million this season.

One would assume general manager Daryl Morey and team owner Tilman Fertitta preferred to pay Capela the bonus if it meant a trip to the Western Conference Finals, where they likely could have recouped that money in ticket sales and other additional playoff revenue.

The cap hit for Clint Capela in 2019-20 will now be adjusted to $14.9M. Capela had a $1M bonus if Houston reached the Western Conference Finals. The bonus is now deemed unlikely. — Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) May 11, 2019

As previously explained by USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s NBA Wire cap guru Yossi Gozlan, the Houston center also missed out on $1 million in other incentives from the regular season.

He missed the first threshold by him falling short of a defensive rebounding percentage of 30.0 percent before the playoffs. His failure to complete that goal lowered his cap hit to the Rockets by $500,000.

Capela could have earned another half a million if he connected on at least 65 percent of his free throw attempts. But considering this bonus was deemed as unlikely, it never counted as part of the cap hold for Houston.

While it is unclear what kind of impact this has on their potential luxury tax bill as that information was not publicly available at the time of publishing, the Rockets were reportedly below the tax last month. That means that the savings for Houston are approximately $1.5 million and likely not multiplied by tax savings.
