You’re not expected to feel sympathy for Anthony Davis here.

One way or another, the New Orleans Pelicans forward is about to be a wealthy — well, wealthier — man. Whether or not he makes one of the three postseason All-NBA teams voted on by the media, the contract extension Davis signed last offseason will pay him no less than $125 million.


“A hundred and 25 million’s still a lot of money,” Davis said Friday before his team’s home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. “It’s a lot of damn money.”

But it could be a lot more.

If Davis is elected to an All-NBA team, his contract will be subject to the so-called “Rose Rule” — named for Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose — that would allow Davis’ salary to take up 30 percent of the Pelicans’ salary cap as opposed to 25 percent.

Over the life of his five-year contract extension, that equates to about $23 million, which is nothing to scoff at.

“It’s a contract,” Davis said. “They give that out for (entire) contracts.”

To qualify for the Rose Rule, a player must, while under his rookie contract, win at least one MVP, be voted an All-Star starter at least twice or make the first-, second- or third-team All-NBA twice.

I think he can live real well with a contract like that. [Smile]
