It depends on how many years you've played in the league. Until you're a 7 year veteran, the maximum salaries are $9,000,000 or 25% of the cap. After you're a 7 year veteran, the max are either $11,000,000 or 30% of the cap (LeBron has played in the league for 7 years in 2010, I believe). When you have played in the league for 10 years or more, the max salaries are $14,000,000 or 35% of the cap.

Years in NBA
0 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
1 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
2 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
3 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
4 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
5 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
6 $9,000,000 or 25% of cap*
7 $11,000,000 or 30% of cap*
8 $11,000,000 or 30% of cap*
9 $11,000,000 or 30% of cap*
10+ $14,000,000 or 35% of cap*

* whichever is greater. They use a different cap calculation to determine the maximum salaries, which is based on 48.04% of projected BRI. For example, even though the actual salary cap for 2005-06 is $49.5 million the 0-6 year maximum salary is $12 million, not $12.375 million. Note that as with the salary cap itself, they appear to have used hard figures for 2005-06, rather than applying their formula.
