Doubt he’s broke like your average ISH poster or even spending above his means, a genuinely broke guy doesn’t turn down checks because he prefers to post up in Beverly Hills.

What's his equity on the house? He might owe millions right now.

Someone told me he's a bit of a ****ing prick too. Like the way he acts, like everyone is meant to know him n shit. When he's in Australia people are expected to praise him like he shits gold, when he doesn't even play for the national team.

Because he is an idiot for buying all of that crap. What's the point of buying a new car every month or to have 3 houses at that rate?

Yeah he cried racism once because he got asked for ID at a Casino and wasn't dressed appropriately...didn't have the ID so was denied

Everyone gets asked for fccking ID and there is a dress code....always has been

Then it came out he had a stake in a documentary about racism in Australia, that was just coming out

Big house = big maintenance cost + big taxes

He’s a retard.. hardly anyone in Australia would even recognise him..

The casino racism stunt just made most people think he’s a wanker

Nah, he ain't broke yet.
But he definitely has an opportunity to pull an Antoine Sprewell as time goes on... And if he does, imagine thinking it was worth it to become broke because you couldn't swallow your pride and accept completely legit criticism for this:

No one knows dues financial situation so why speculate? Seems like a made up story. He purchased big home and getting fined by sixers. So let’s put it out there he’s going broke and will return to Sixers.

That…..feels unlikely. That said they almost need to mandate a percentage of your first contract going to an irrevocable trust if you’re a first rounder. 500k over time would be enough to never go broke. Nba player broke maybe but regular broke? Nah. 500k to start with like 1 percent of their income going forward would be crazy long term unless the market absolutely melts. One I know of started at 500 and is almost 800 after like 6 years and she takes a monthly income from it. Made 102K before management fees last year. And these dudes can’t put a little aside and let it work?
