Is Jamario Moon The Poorest NBA Player?

sosa · Post #1 » by **sosa** » Tue Feb 5, 2008 5:43 am

I'm not talking about 10 day contract players but actual rotation players. Is he the absolute poorest dude in the NBA.

I would think he has less than $200K in the bank. Considering his salary (I think around $400K+/-) minus taxes, fees, cost of living, etc.

With that said, I TRULY HOPE HE WINS HE DUNK CONTEST....That's like $100K to the winner.

I can see him pulling out all the stops for that money.

Go Jamario! :clap:

Might as well just rename General NBA Discussion to 'Lakers/Raptors Fans Dumping Ground'.........

Taxes are high in Canada right?

Speaking of which, how does the NBA adjust for players who live in Canada? Now that the dollar is worth less than the Canadian dollar, I guess they're not complaining - but back when it was the other way around, don't they kind of get the shaft?

^The players salaries have always been paid in US Dollars and still are paid in US Dollars. Both the Vancouver Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors.

You're right though, back then it was really expensive for the Canadian franchises to pay for their players.

Ah, so the franchises ate that difference. Thanks.

contracy to belief of some posters, jamario does not have much money...

he said..that in the minors...all the leagues he played in..he had to cover everything on his own...food, hotels, etc.

he said that this christmas, it was the first time in a long time he could buy nice gifts for his family...
