1/19/2016 8:56:20 AM

it's more like 10 months

1/19/2016 9:08:50 AM

this motherfucker acts like Bass Fishing season doesn't exist

1/19/2016 9:15:29 AM

go DSJ!

1/19/2016 9:29:25 AM

So.. Any chance Cat comes back? Like 1 in a hundred?

1/24/2016 10:22:40 AM

Randy Moss was a very good high school basketball player

I'm just sayin

1/24/2016 10:26:30 AM

i think and injury could bring him back

1/24/2016 10:29:06 AM

If Gott can convince everyone to stay but Cat, I'll consider that a success. Would be nice to have a good number of juniors and seniors for once.

1/24/2016 10:31:37 AM

I don't know who else would leave. Kirk? Abu isn't ready to go pro yet.. Anya and Freeman will be seniors so that doesn't really make sense.. The Martins have played a lot for two years and should keep playing. I would guess Henderson and Dorn wouldn't go anywhere before playing and having already transferred. And I can't find anything about Cat anywhere (not that that really means anything) so unless he's jumping to Europe..

Are you new to our program?

1/24/2016 10:52:14 AM

maybe cat has learned a lesson from brown leslie lacey

1/24/2016 10:56:06 AM

The lesson being "get paid while you can"?

1/24/2016 12:14:46 PM

wonder how many € trevor is making in his rookie contract?

1/24/2016 12:32:35 PM

Infinitely more than he would have been making in Raleigh

1/24/2016 1:50:50 PM

Yea i would bet a large amount that Lacey is making way more than anyone in this thread

1/24/2016 4:42:06 PM

^
I doubt that. For some reason people think marginal pros are making bank in Europe. Simply not true .

1/24/2016 5:02:18 PM

I'm pretty sure they can get draft insurance thats worth about the same as a season in europe if they were to get hurt their senior year. Also, the premium is paid afterwards.

1/24/2016 5:02:33 PM

is this the time we all post our annual earnings?

1/24/2016 5:07:59 PM

Let's do it.

36k over here!

1/24/2016 5:11:04 PM

average salary of a Euro bball player (per google) is $65k-$100k

however that's often untaxed, so more like a domestic $80k-$130k

And I think the cost of living is often lower there as well

--

The D-League is what pays the shit salary. Like $20k-$25k per season

That's misleading. It doesn't include the many leagues in Europe where guys don't make shit.

I honestly have no idea the details of Lacey's contract.

1/24/2016 5:18:05 PM

per some former player / current lawyer

Quote :

"The worst part about basketball players staying in the USA and playing in the D-league is the fact that most D-league salaries range from only $12,000 to $24,000. Average overseas players can get a $65,000 contract with ease. Depending on the league that players get into in Europe, salaries can start as high as $100,000. Not only is there a big discrepancy between the salaries, but the money made in Europe is typically tax free. The club oftentimes will pay your taxes to the country you are playing in. That American who is playing overseas may also receive credit with the United States government for paying their taxes. Further, most European clubs commonly pay for a player’s living expenses. That includes providing a player with a car and lodging. So the player in Europe can be saved from taxes and the more expensive living expenses."

so you make good money (not NBA-good, but pretty good) and don't have to pay for anything else except like food and clothes

well at least he's 4rd on his team in scoring. behind some scrubs from Xavier, Gonzaga and ASU

maybe he'll the callup

1/24/2016 5:21:34 PM

I hear he is playing 4rd tough though.

1/24/2016 8:21:34 PM

I hear he's leading the euroleague in points off isolation.

1/24/2016 8:25:40 PM

this can wait.
