Back in October 2013, Andrew Bogut signed a three-year contract extension with the Warriors.

He's in Year 2 of the agreement and once again, his bonus is a topic of conversation.

Bogut is making $12 million in base salary, and will earn a $1.8 million bonus if he plays in at least 65 games and makes either All-Defensive First or Second Team.

If he doesn't hit both marks, the Warriors will save about $4 million in taxes and their total tax bill will drop from $18.8 million to $14.9 million.

According to The Vertical's Bobby Marks, the Warriors would have an extra $1.6 million in cap space this summer.

Bogut did not play in Saturday's loss against the Spurs after injuring the big toe on his left foot in Friday's game at Dallas.

Last year, Bogut received a $1.935 million bonus after he appeared in 67 games and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.
