You would lose the bet.

Randolph Morris, the lowest paid player, on the Atlanta Hawks, the cheapest paying team, will make $855,189 in 2009-10. The NBA minimum for a rookie in 2009-10 is $457,588, for a player with one year's experience, $736,420.

In 1996, David Stern received a five-year deal worth $35 million. I can't find his salary for his most recent contract.
