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

Jimmer turned down way more money in Europe this last season to stay in the NBA.

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

I spoke to Jaycee Carroll a couple years ago

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

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

Wrong. Jimmer will get Zero in the NBA.

You know those salaries are in Euros right?

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

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