Making $80k playing basketball in France is NOT what he wants to do.

How much can Mika make in Europe?

That would be too bad

boogers

He must know something we don't

Positive sign of what? I'm not following

Big Daddy D

As in...no way is Mika leaving for an $80k gig in France.

WJCougar

5/24/17 4:42pm

or he feels like playing at BYU for a year won't get him any closer to the nba

ayfan

Neither will playing in France

WJCougar

5/24/17 4:47pm

I'm so confused right now

Big Daddy D

5/24/17 4:50pm

yes but it will pay him better than being at BYU, if you don't think you can

ayfan

5/24/17 4:53pm

Because he could make more money elsewhere.

according to you, the Jazz GM said he might not get drafted

ayfan

5/24/17 5:14pm

he already hired an agent. he gone.

idacoug

5/24/17 4:41pm

that is what you would hope, but there are plenty of early NBA entrants

5/24/17 5:00pm

I think he could play in the first division, and I also think he could get

5/24/17 4:44pm

2nd division? C'mon. He'd be in a better league.

Tyler Haws is currently playing in Poland

ayfan

5/24/17 4:54pm

I don't think he'd be in a league where he's making 500k either though

Dillinger

5/24/17 5:11pm

I think you and I project him differently. I think he's going to make an nba

Keep in mind that European contacts are often reported post tax and include a

a lot more than what he'd make at BYU next year

nashty

Has this been confirmed?

fredetteaboutit13

5/24/17 4:59pm

I don't know, how's his downline?

boscatar

5/24/17 5:02pm

That's why I ask. Heard he got in on the ground level

fredetteaboutit13

5/24/17 5:05pm

I would think a scholarship with stipend would be close to 60K value even at BYU

5/24/17 5:03pm

But if you count housing and living expenses you would have to add on that to

thebruce

5/24/17 5:47pm

No, not all that matters. Not close to all that matters.

Big Daddy D

5/24/17 5:23pm

what about 2018 NBA opportunity cost, what is the WACC on that?

5/24/17 5:31pm

Huge discount. Age increase, probabilty of getting hurt, not showcasing perimete

Shteve

5/24/17 7:16pm

That's incredibly short sighted thinking. Basketball isn't forever, and college is an investment.

sakhr

5/24/17 11:12pm

I'm told est. $300K plus living expenses. Tax free? This is what someone credible said to me.

This is the plan B that Ron would let his son consider, not the 80k version

Big Daddy D

5/24/17 8:07pm

No one from Cougar Nation should ever accept an $80K pay package. $70K is preferable, or jump straight to $90K.

roseyscenario

5/25/17 6:55am

That would be from a top league in Italy or France, Spain would be a bit more,

gww687

5/24/17 11:51pm

Well he's very likely not good enough to be drafted into the NBA

Dillinger

5/25/17 3:09am

Okay, how about this - if he is close to good enough to be drafted (which he is)

Davies was a borderline NBA player. Mika isn't. So yes...

jsjohnson1278

I think Mika is a borderline nba player.

They're essentially the same
