Duncan Robinson arrived prepared for this moment, including significant incentive in last summer’s five-year free-agent agreement in case he was part of a championship team during the term of the deal. The Miami Heat also arrived prepared for this moment, the added payout to be guaranteed only if Robinson was a significant part of such a title run. At the moment, that leaves Robinson still chasing a ring, but almost assuredly unable to also chase the cash that would guarantee all of what could be a $90 million deal. As a means of both incentivizing Robinson toward championship success and covering themselves in case Robinson’s role or productivity decreased, the final $10 millon of Robinson contract is only guaranteed if the Heat win a championship during any of those five seasons. But even then there are caveats, caveats already in place and at play this postseason. According to three NBA parties familiar with the contract framing, Robinson only cashes in on the championship bonus if the following are met in the title-winning season: — At least 70 regular-season appearances. — Average at least 25 minutes during the regular season. — Appear in at least 75 percent of his team’s playoff games. — Average at least 25 minutes in the playoffs. Despite losing his starting role to Max Strus in March, Robinson still made 79 regular-season appearances, so that threshold was reached. And despite the reduced role, there still were 25.9 minutes per game during the regular season, so that marker also was attained. But the postseason has gone in a different direction, even after scoring 27 points in the playoff opener against the Atlanta Hawks. So far, 11 appearances in the Heat’s 15 playoff outings going into Wednesday night’s Game 5 at FTX Arena against the Boston Celtics in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals .
