How does an overseas pro basketball contract compare with the US? 1/2, 1/3, 1/10

What about Jimmer?

Jimmer is much more likely to sign a relatively fat contract in Europe compared

fulano

Wrong. Look at what his minimum would be in the NBA.

His minimum will be Zero

fulano

So do you think Jimmer can make 1.5 Mil in the NBA?

Wrong. Jimmer will get Zero in the NBA.

5/22/15 9:16am

That's because he would make $0 in the NBA.

Taxes???

THE KlD

They don't pay any taxes.

You know those salaries are in Euros right?

slatecoug

5/22/15 9:12am

The euro trades about even with the USD. Currently 1.10=$1.0

BlueFrog

5/22/15 9:25am

An extra 10% is not about even, plus no taxes.

What do you mean, no taxes? Are you saying the America players who play

byubyu

The released/announced amounts in Europe are after tax figures. Teams pay taxes.
