After taxes, could Jimmer be making more than Derrick Rose next year?

I thought that foreign players didn't pay taxes on their salaries. Is that just

Uncle Sam definitely taxes foreign income

Really? Even if the player resides in the foreign country? Don't think so...

Oh they do. Uncle Sam always gets his.

We're just trying to get Jimmer more money, we don't want to break laws -

I live in Canada and still file US income taxes every year. Only country that requires that.

Do you also pay Canada?

US tax treaties only apply if you pay more taxes in the country of residence

Foreign bank accounts, baby.

As long as you are US Citizen you owe income taxes. If there is a treaty you may get credit for foreign taxes paid.

Baron

While the US still holds you accountable. It's a lot easier to just not pay.

Sure. Until you want to ever get a job in the states again. And then it all come

Sure, if you want the IRS to seize your assets and send you to prison.

Which is the point. Since you aren't in the US.

Is Jimmer's 1.8M deal for one or two years?

if only there was someone capable of making a spreadsheet to analyze it.

Jimmer will get more per game though

What about state taxes?

2.1 million for that panzy? What a waste.

I'm not sure about how this works exactly, but I had two friends working overseas

Right. That's called tax evasion assuming they are both US citizens.
