From what I read the amount that is considered for trade is the average of the salary he is currently making + the salaries he will earn for his new contract. So $49M + $6M = $55m/5 years = $11M. If you have a different link showing an alternate interpretation, I'd love to see it.
Yes, that is his outgoing salary. His incoming salary is still this years salary, though. See this link, for example: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/05/poison-pill-provision.html
"For salary purposes, if a player is traded between extending his rookie contract and the extension taking effect, the player's trade value for the receiving team is the average of his current salary and the annual salary in each year of his extension."
