Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut played more than 65 regular-season games for the team in 2014-15, and that combined with his likely place on one of the NBA's All-Defensive teams could land him a close to $2 million bonus.
Per Rusty Simmons of SF Gate, if both parameters of Bogut's contract clause end up being met, "Bogut will get a bonus of 15 percent of his salary — more than $1.9 million. The bonus will be added to the three-year, $36 million extension he signed in October 2013."
The bonus will count against the Warriors’ salary cap, but team officials have assured that it won't push the team into the luxury tax.

As for Bogut, his focus is on the riduculousness of the Vine/Twitter era of NBA basketball.
"Every once in a while, I get dunked on because I try to block shots, but that stuff happens,” Bogut said, via Simmons' article. “I don’t really care. With Instagram and Vine and all of the crap, I really don’t give a s—. It’s part of my job to get dunked on every now and then. I’d rather make sure I’m trying to block the shots and protect the rim than ... move out of the way just because I don’t want people laughing at me.”
