2007. Yeah, I agree. Last year is a minimum of $10 milllion guaranteed,
up to as much as $17,249,551 if he meets certain performance benchmarks. Dwight Howard: Drafted 1st overall in 2004. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a 5 year max extension ($83,235,900) in July 2007. Jameer Nelson: Drafted 20th overall in 2004. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a 5 year, $38 million extension in October 2007. Hedo Turkoglu: Signed a 6 year, $37 million-ish contract for the value of the full MLE in July 2004. Tony Battie: Drafted 5th overall in 1997. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a 6 year, $25 million extension in October 1999. Signed a further 4 year, $22.984 million extension in March 2006, which dipped in value in the second year (2007/08) to facilitate the Magic's plan to have cap room in the 2007 offseason. Because he is a gallant and noble human. And because he's kidding himself if he thinks he'd get more than that elsewhere.
