His 2011-12 salary will be $15,506,632 and his five-year extension will total $89,163,135.
Had Durant not been granted the larger maximum salary, his 2010-11 earnings would have been $12,922,194 and his five-year extension would have totaled $74,302,616. By being granted the larger maximum, Durant earns an extra $2,584,438 this season and an extra $14,860,519 over the life of his extension -- quite a Christmas bonus.

Kyrie wouldn't have made it even of Lowry didnt start.
Wall & Wade would have.
What's Kyrie's stats and team record when LeBron doesn't play?
I'll wait...
Oh no I won't. Dude is a fraud. Doesn't deserve to be an all star anyway.
Toronto is MUCH bigger market than Cleveland. It's definitely possible that the fukkboys up there went ham on the ballots.Sorry... I ain't saying that's a conspriacy....
But there is NO. WAY. Kyle Lowry is more popular than Kyrie Irving, much less D-Wade (who's averaging 22pts a game)
None.
So how did dude get so many votes?
Kyrie got the signature shoes / crossover highlights / Uncle Drew commercials. I don't really need to convince anybody of this...
Off Youtube alone, he got 30+ videos over 930k views, which happens to be Lowry's YT view high.
League conspiring w/ the Cavs something heavy on this.
i bet if LEbron wasn't there Kyrie would have much better stats, would be a starter
If dudes are mad now - watch Canada fukk arund and vote in the Raps starting 5 for the All-Star team next year when the game is at the Air Canada Centre

In a rule named after Derrick Rose, accomplished players coming off their rookie contract could earn more money in the 2011 CBA.
A Designated Player may be eligible to earn 30% of the salary cap (rather than the standard 25%) if he passes certain criteria. To be eligible, the player must be voted to start in two All-Star Games, or be named to an All-NBA Team twice (at any level), or be named MVP. Officially titled the "5th Year 30% Max Criteria"[2] it has been dubbed (and is more commonly known as) the "Derrick Rose Rule" after the 2011 MVP,[13] due to the fact that when the criterion was introduced, Rose was the only player in the NBA eligible to sign the maximum extension (due to his MVP award).[14] The reasoning for the rule is to suitably reward rookie players who are considered to be of a higher "caliber" than their peers, without restricting them to the lower (25%) salary level.[15] A player may sign a "5th Year, 30% Max" contract before the final year of his rookie contract and before fulfilling the criteria needed to receive the 30% salary grade. Should the player fail to fulfil the criteria before the start of his Designated Player contract, he will receive the standard five year, 25% Designated Player contract. James Harden of the Houston Rockets had such a clause in his contract extension, but failed to meet the criteria.[16] The only player in the NBA who was attempting to qualify for a full 30% contract in 2013–14 was Paul George, who signed a provisional 30%/5 year contract in September 2013. George, who had made the All-NBA third team in 2012-13,[17] qualified by again making the All-NBA third team.[18]
5/30% Contracts
The following players have signed 5 year/30% contracts:[2]
- Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls) until 2017
- Blake Griffin (LA Clippers) until 2018
- Paul George (Indiana Pacers) until 2019 (qualified by making the All-NBA third team in 2012–13 and 2013–14)[17][18]
