Porzingis set to get richer with new CBA

The NBA’s tentatively agreed upon collective bargaining agreement will make Knicks second-year phenom Kristaps Porzingis richer even before he becomes a free agent for the first time in the summer of 2019.

When he does hit free agency, Porzingis will be aided even more by the riches of the new CBA. In fact, with an assist from Derrick Rose, Porzingis could be in line for a max contract of $195 million in 2019.

Last week’s agreement immediately affected Porzingis’ existing four-year rookiescale deal that has two years left on it. The new CBA will change its existing terms with a 15 percent increase from what he would have made next year and a 30 percent hike in what would have collected in his fourth year. Porzingis was to huddle with his agent, Andy Miller, to go over the changes.

“I heard a little about it,’’ Porzingis said before Tuesday’s game against the Pacers. “It’s not bad. But it’s never money for me but it’s cool a lot of money is being thrown around this league.’’

According to sources, Porzingis’ revised salary will change from the old $4.5 million to $5.1 million next season. Porzingis’ final year will change from $5.63 million to $7.28 million.

That could be pocket change for the designated max Porzingis is looking at in 2019. Fifth-year players — coming off their rookie contracts — will have a bigger piece of the pie.

Porzingis will be eligible to make 25 percent of the actual salary cap (as opposed to a previous artificial cap figure that’s lower). That starting max wage for Porzingis in 2019 is projected at $27.5 million, according to sources. In the old agreement, a fifth-year player next year would have started at a long-term max of $21 million.

However, Porzingis could also fall under the Derrick Rose Rule. That allows a player coming out of his rookie deal to make 30 percent of the cap — not 25 percent — as a starting salary. The requirements in the old deal were twice being voted in as an All-Star starter, twice an All-NBA selection or an MVP. Those Rose Rule requirements have eased slightly in the new agreement. The rule was named after Rose because he won the MVP in 2011 during his rookie pact with the Bulls. If Porzingis falls under the rule, his first max contract would total $195 million.

Carmelo Anthony said he believes fans should be the only ones voting for who is selected to play in the All-Star Game— not media or players — and isn’t happy with this week’s change.

“I do think we got to keep the fans engaged,’’ Anthony said. “I don’t think players should vote for other players. It’s a fan’s game.’’
