When the Golden State Warriors re-signed Andrew Bogut to a three year, $36 million contract extension in October 2013, both parties agreed to include an incentives clause into the contract. Bogut and the Warriors picked four criteria which would see the Australian center earn a 15 percent bonus for that season. The four criteria, which must come along with 65 games played were: an inclusion into any All-NBA Team, an inclusion into any NBA All-Defensive Team, an All-Star appearance, or winning NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

And for the first time since signing that extension, Bogut could earn himself a nice 15 percent kicker ($1.935 million) on top of the $12.9 million he’s already earning this season.
