Oh man. If you thought he was popular in the Marriott Center wait till he hits China!
In all seriousness he is about to be the Michael Jordan of China. Not a bad gig.
Rumors are his contract will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 years for 7-8 million. With opt out clauses after each season to rejoin the NBA. They only play 40 games over there, and the money is tax free. Not a bad gig at all. Not to mention any endorsements he receives.

The old joke of "I'm famous in Japan" is based in reality. You can be marginally talented in any field and be wildly rich and famous beyond your dreams in Asia. That rapper that won a bunch of Freestyle Fridays on BET- jin? I think he was on one of the Fast and Furiouses and was with Ruff Riders for like 3 seconds here... went to Hong Kong and became the Chinese Justin Beiber with every kind of endorsement imaginable, acting gigs, his face plastered all over billboards, daytime soap gigs, the whole works.

He will most definitely be paying US income tax on it.

This is true but those contracts are structured so that the team takes care of the taxes on top of the agreed upon figure. Most likely he will take home the value of the contract.
