Here you can see that Darius Morris got 2 x 52k for 2 10-day contracts he signed with Clippers.

Edit: To be precise, from Larry Coon:

The base salary in a 10-day contract is negotiable, although they are almost always signed for the minimum salary. The salary is then pro-rated for the number of days covered by the contract (10 days or three games, whichever is longer).

Chris Johnson is in his second year, and Vander Blue his rookie year, so that will make Johnson's minimum salary more than Blue's.  I believe there are 170 days in the NBA season, so a prorated second-year player's salary (Johnson's) would be $46,404.24 for 10 days, whereas a rookie gets $28,834.12 for 10 days.  Note that they both count the same against the luxury tax and hard cap, at the higher rate of $52,017.24 for 10 days, due to CBA rules designed to discourage teams from signing rookies to be cheap replacement players, thus benefiting veterans who were part of the union at the time of the last negotiation.
