You have to START two All-Start games for the ultra max. Which is why I said odds are he won't. The west is loaded and while I think he continues to makes All Star games, it's going to get hard to be voted a starter. His best odds are to make it onto two all NBA teams. Here's the actual rule:
A Designated Player may be eligible to earn 30% of the salary cap (rather than the standard 25%) if he passes certain criteria. To be eligible, the player must be voted to start in two All-Star Games, or be named to an All-NBA Team twice (at any level), or be named MVP.
