Are you saying that the salary number that the Greek team puts out is the actual $$$$ the player gets after he pays his "American" taxes, because he will have to payy taxes to the IRS and their state taxes, if they have them.

Good player just never lived up to the hype.
lol brain damage, havent heard that phrase being used as an insult in ages.
Off topic: Have you seen the trailer for Will Ferrell's new movie, Step Brothers? He has a line in it where he asks John C. Reilly "If you were a chick, who is the one guy that you would sleep with?" and they both answer at the same time, "John Stamos".

Hey, you aren't Greek. What do you know?
following this thread makes my head hurt
![]()
He was injured with 19 years old in Detroit. Very young. I think he will be a good role player....in Pop i trust.
Fixed. Just FYI.
Maybe the Spurs did this so the Rockets will go after him and that way Houston will have the two biggest assholes in Argentina on their roster?
It'd be one thing if Delfino was actually a good NBA player, but he really isn't...he's very inconsistent. And it's not like he's a guy that brings a lot of ingtangibles(positive ones at least) to the table...
I'd rather we not sign him...unless it's he or Finley.
I'm not real hyped on Magette either...he's never been an "oh " player for me watching him play. Still...he's better than Finley.
Well who the should they sign then?
are there any reliable sources that say we officially offered him a contract?
Isn't he a restriced FA?
Yes that is exact how it work. So sad such simple thing is above ability for some here to grasp.
The #s reported may be net of Greek taxes, but they are not net of the US federal income tax. Maybe there is a collection of US tax experts in the Greek media. I doubt it.
Or, alternatively, you can believe Greek teams are offering ty American players $70 mil+ over 3 years and they are unwilling to take such money. In which case you'd probably be trolling every NBA fan forum possible and spamming it with nonsense.
And the offer to Parker was $24 mil (gross) over 3 years, not $24 mil per year for 3 years. You have to be pretty stupid to not be able to understand that. And that's from ty Greek 'the basketball world revolves around us' media.
I laughed so hard after reading thisYou are joke.
Im gonna try my best to work it into my everyday lexicon
24 million EUROS NET plus 2 million euro sign bonus. Keep make lies up all you want.
Explain to us how the Euro teams determine and pay the federal and state taxes for American players years in advance.
Please be specific.
Indeed. Whenever the Spurs had to rely on 3-pts from Barry, it was because something else was terribly wrong.
Very simple. Example Greek player would pay 40% tax to Greece and then his amount of paycheck is what is report as his "player salary" by media.
American play would get waiver for this and then he will pay US tax in same way. Tax is base on where he have listing of residence in US. This player will be play on work visa in Greece and have residence in US. he get exempt for first 80,000 US dollar then rest he pay tax.
Federal is 35% and state is base on where he have his residence like some is 0% some is more 8.5% and such.
Same way in Greece salary is report for player only what he can put in bank.
Is cultural thing. In US everyone must try sound richer than he really is. Like say "I make 100,000 per year" when really they makes 60,000 per year and government get 40,000 per year. You not make 100,000 you make 60,000.
Well in Greece if ask this question and you is 100,000 salary and you net 60,000 you says "I make 60,000 per year". In Greece money make is ONLY consider what actual go in bank account in US is imaginary number that include money person never actual see which goes to government.
We not consider money that go to taxes actual income. Is this simple. In Greece Tim Duncan would not be report as 20 million salary, he would be report as salary only after taxes. Understand? Is nothing complication here, very simple but some morons here with the bad IQ cannot understand.
Funny how Greek teams can't see to land any US talent with these mythical offers. Well, save for crackheads like Qyntel Woods. He probably believed what some lying bag Greek with a bad inferiority complex told him.
And again, Syphilis, the number reported by the horrid Greek media is net of Greek tax, not US tax.
