How do NBA players get paid? When he was a fan before, link was always very curious about this question.


    For those contracts that often cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, does the boss ask the truck to deliver the cash to the players or write a check directly?


    What is it like to suddenly own tens of millions of assets?


    Today, however, the mysterious question of "how NBA players get paid" has finally been answered. And the answer, also let link quite disappointed.


    He thought he could go home happily with $2 million today. But Jeff Austin''s calculation made link look silly.


    "First, the federal tax rate is 33.61%. Then there''s the state tax, which is 7% in Tennessee. Then there is my 3% contract draw, plus the third-party escrow fee, and so on. The amount you can finally get is about $1.26 million. "


    Looking at the figures on Jeff Austen''s calculator, link was stunned. He was cut almost half of his salary!


    But it''s nice to be home with a million dollars. One million, this is the number that only appeared in dreams before.


    However, after Jeff Austin put down his calculator again, he opened his mouth.


    "According to NBA rules, November 15 is the first payday. After that, they are paid on the 1st and 15th of each month, twice a month and 24 times a year. Since you only sign with the team until the end of the season, there are no 24, only 12. So today, the amount you can take away is... "Jeff Austin said, pressing a button on the calculator.


    "The salary you can take today is $105000. Congratulations, link. You''re a real NBA player now


    "Er..." link skimmed his mouth, why can''t he get excited. Nonsense. I thought I could carry 2 million yuan home today, but I only got 100000 yuan. This huge gap naturally threw a basin of cold water on link.


    However, in the past, he could only get more than 10000 a year in the development alliance. Ten days in the NBA contract, but also about 50000. What''s more, you don''t know where you''re going to be next.


    But now, he gets 100000 dollars every half a month, and it''s wonderful to think about it. Although he was cut off nearly half his salary, he was also a millionaire.


    Link clenched his fist. He fought for it for so long that his dream came true.


    "Here''s your check, link. In a few minutes, the fact that you signed with us will spread across the United States. Tomorrow''s game against Oklahoma City Thunder, the media will definitely look at you with a magnifying glass. At that time, I hope you can perform well. " Chris Wallace smiles and hands link a check for 105000.


    It''s the first time that link has been paid, so there''s a bit more ritual. After the pay, usually directly to the player''s account on the line.


    "Have a good time, Chris. Believe me, this summer, we will first consider the Memphis Grizzlies offer. Come on, link. Your signing ceremony is over. Don''t think this is the end of your life, boy. The NBA has a long way to go


    Austin got up to say goodbye to Wallace, then took link out of the office. Link looked at the $105000 check in his hand, and was still a little stunned. Jeff Austen, on the other hand, lit himself a cigarette.


    Jeff Austen could see too much of this. He had signed contracts of tens of millions of dollars, so this kind of small contract with millions of dollars could not make a ripple in his heart.


    "How do you feel? From Development League to NBA, from 10 day short contract to 2 million annual salary. You must have felt it Austin said, patting link on the shoulder.


    "Well... The world of professional basketball is very cruel. But once you can cook it out... The rewards are very rich. " Link thought of all kinds of development alliance, and cherished his own situation at this time.


    If upshaw had been around, he would have been able to wait. Home with a check for $100000, the family celebrated the night. Ms. Martha is sure to make her best pineapple pie, and upshaw''s sister doesn''t have to worry about college tuition fees...


    but it doesn''t matter, link is going with upshaw now.


    "I want to go to the bank first, Mr. Austin."


    "Oh? Can''t wait to withdraw cash? " Austin smiles. Ordinary people have 100000 dollars in their hands at once, and they are sure to squander it.


    "No, I have to call my parents and upshaw''s mother first. I promised her that she would pay for her daughter''s tuition. And my parents, who helped me go to college for four years and played basketball, have paid enough


    Link''s reply made the smile on Austin''s face disappear. He''s seen too many players spend all their money on the first day they get paid. Luxury goods, cars, houses... Even if it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is not enough in front of these things.However, one of the things after link got his salary was that he wanted to call someone else... I don''t know why, Austin is full of confidence in him. Sometimes, some characteristics of a person may be more important than the skills of the ball.


    "Linck, don''t you feel bad? It''s two million dollars, but it''s less than half. " Walking all the way to the underground parking lot with link, Austin did not rush to get on the bus, but stopped and continued to chat with link.


    "To tell you the truth, it''s very unpleasant, ha ha ha. After all, who doesn''t want to get paid more? "


    "Therefore, the value of business activities is now reflected. As an NBA player, your income is more than just salary. Now, you are a regular NBA player. And I, too, have to start your business plan. Don''t worry, I won''t let you go to the amusement park to play with the fans. What I''m talking about is a real business contract, advertising, TV shows, signing sports brands... After this contract, other cooperation will follow. "


    "But..." link looked at himself, "I can really have that great commercial value."


    "It depends on how you perform on the basketball court. The NBA is a fair place. Take as much as you can. So keep trying, link. As I just said, it''s not the end, it''s just the beginning. By the way, do you have any taboos about business contracts? For example, for some brands you don''t want to speak for, I will directly reject them. "


    "Well... Not yet. It''s just, don''t let me go to those boring activities any more. " Link knows that every player has more or less some brands that he doesn''t want to speak for. Yao Ming, for example, turned down Nike''s endorsement invitation that year. Because the first offer from Nike to Yao Ming was so low that he felt insulted.


    But for the current link, he has no picky capital.


    "Well, from today on, your business cooperation has been formally put on the agenda. Don''t worry, I won''t disturb your training and competition. I''ll take care of the schedule. Enjoy your night, link. Remember, this is just the beginning. "


    Austin waved and drove away from the underground parking lot of the FedEx stadium.


    Link stood where he was and squeezed himself hard. Well, it''s painful, which means it''s not a dream.


    From now on, the status of temporary workers will be farewell to him.
