Frontloading makes sense. Without what's his name, Jazz are well under the tax this season, but need all the room they can manage in future years.
What are the rules for front-loading?
Is 111 over the luxury tax?Bobby Marks: The Joe Ingles contract in Utah starts at $14.1M in year 1 and descends each year with a $10.8M cap hit in 20-21. Utah with $111M in salary. (twitter)

Jazz do incentives in every contract.[TWEET]890201648097832960[/TWEET]
Here's official-ish:

I don't know how it goes to 10.8M in the last year, because for it to get there the contract goes under 50M. It's possible they have some incentives in the contract.
Do incentives count against the cap?

Depends on whether the incentives the are deemed likely or unlikely. For example, before Gobert made all-nba and all-defense team his cap/salary was 21.3M, once he made those teams his cap number jumped to 21.9M.
I think the league determines those based on performance from previous season. For example if in the contract it says the player gets extra 0.5M if he plays 70 games, if he has played 69 the previous season this one is deemed unlikely and doesn't count towards the cap, if he has played 71 games it's deemed likely and it counts towards the cap.
