In 2011, salary = 900k and roster bonus = 10.5m
A drop in salary and non-signing bonus from 13.5m in 2010 to 11.4 in 2011 is
less than 30%, and therefore OK.

Maybe. I've seen so many conflicting things on his contract, I'm just not going to bother with it.
There were other contracts structured in a similar fashion, though.
