He has two qualifiers:
One is based on All Star appearances.
The other is based on his minutes played next season. He has to average 30 minutes a game (I think that's right) over the course of his 72 (I think) games with highest minutes.
Neither has a shot in hell of happening.

Erick Dampier's 2010-2011 salary of $13,078,000 has no salary protection; which then increases to full if (1) player is selected to play in any three NBA All-Star Games out of the 2004-2005 through the 2009-2010 seasons or (2) player plays at least 2,100 minutes in the 70 regular season games in the 2009-2010 season in which player plays the most minutes (and if player plays in less than 70 regular season games in the 2009-2010 season, then player must play at least 2,100 minutes for the entire regular season).
