I can't keep track anymore. DX was giving some big number - 5yrs 10M Euros and saying American teams could hardly compete with it.
exactly, he has a family to take care of. He already rejected a slightly lower offer last year, now, 10 mill euros,probably tax-free (as most euro contracts are shown, specially in Tau, for instance, the Rakocevic contract is 1.1 mill euros after paying taxes) for 5 years, is something pretty interesting, considering he'd have to face a rookie contract in NBA, AND ONLY IF SPURS DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING....
Do you think you'd reject inmediatly such european offer, if no certainity has been shown in the NBA side?

how much is 10 million euros in us dollars?
Roughly $13 mil assuming 1 euro = US$1.30. That over 5 years is not a "big" contract. It is a bit long, but it's not obscene.
It's not a huge figure at all. I don't know what Givony was talking about.

If he can't take care of a family on a NBA rookie contract, then he is really stupid. Its not KG or TD money but its still enough to take mom and the kids out once in a while.exactly, he has a family to take care of.

remember Latrell Sprewell couldn't feed his family with like $14 mil hahahaIf he can't take care of a family on a NBA rookie contract, then he is really stupid. Its not KG or TD money but its still enough to take mom and the kids out once in a while.
Dude, don't you know they eat diamonds?remember Latrell Sprewell couldn't feed his family with like $14 mil hahaha
Actually, who knows how large his family was? Anyone have an idea how much in child support these guys pay out? Must be at least tens of thousands a month, I would guess.
It's not so much how much money he'll be making, but he'll have to pay for his buy-out too. Not really sure what the buy-out is, there have been rumors galore on that front, but he has to get a big enough contract from the Spurs to pay for the buy-out, the expense of moving to America, AND trying to keep to his accustomed lifestyle.If he can't take care of a family on a NBA rookie contract, then he is really stupid.

I don't think Scola needs a huge contract, $2-3 million/year would probably do it, but I think he's just forcing the Spurs hand to do something with him. Can't say I blame him.
That SR dumbass needs better sources. What a .
I blame TAU
An NBA rookie contract he hasn't been offered yet, and money, under 10 mill U$ wealth, I'd say it's not 100% guaranteed your family future. I even saw the amount mentioned somewhere.If he can't take care of a family on a NBA rookie contract, then he is really stupid. Its not KG or TD money but its still enough to take mom and the kids out once in a while.
Diseases, disasters, stock market severe fluctuations...I don't think a fortune under 10 mill U$ is totally guaranteed against such events....and coincidence the amount is 10 mill, euros....
Anyway, I guess we whouldn't move away from the main topic. Have a nice day.
Is "the spurs" your pet name for his buyout?
Sometimes a statement is just so out-of-left-field absurd there isn't a sufficient rebuttal.
No, it's not his ing buyout. He's said he'll buy the damn thing out. If the Spurs traded him or let him be a FA (for example), he'd be in the NBA within the week.
With what?
Argentinian wine. Pop knows a guy.
The rumor was started on draftexpress.com and reiterated on this aol blog....
Again I'm not sure of the validity, but my point was to say that it had already been discussed and wasn't anything new...
His own money, including what his new contract would be. This is common knowledge.
How much does he have?His own moneyIOW, the NBA team would pay for it.including what his new contract would be.
No, but I can call him a pussy if he thinks he can't make it in the NBA.
The guy's biggest problem is he needs a new agent. The dumbass representing him goes out and locks him into a 10 year contract in Europe with a ridiculous buyout, gets pissed no one will pay him 10 million a year, and now this attempt at calling the hand of the Spurs on bringing him over.
Have fun in Spain, chump.
I'm pretty sure I could take care of my family, plus the next two generations of it, with the amount of money he has made the last several years in Europe.
I guess if he blew it all on hookers and blow, he might actually have a legitimate gripe about needing to feed his family, but given the cir stances I'd tell him tough .
The NBA is still the best basketball league in the world. If he thinks he can't hack it over here, then he needs to stay there.
If his agent is screwing him over and he does want to come over, he needs a new agent.
Euros > Dollars ... Luis could get 3M of euros / year ... hard to get that money in NBA
