1. ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne -

Where did you found info about Partizan ? They are always saying how they have very small budget but I can't find anywhere how big it is .

[QUOTE=Fiba basketball]Where did you found info about Partizan ? They are always saying how they have very small budget but I can't find anywhere how big it is .[/QUOTE]

This is what I got on Partizan from their "source". Actually, I forgot to add in the youth teams on the cost.


Base salaries of the players = €2 million euros

Costs of the players (apartments, etc.) + taxes = €550,000 euros

Expenses of the team = €200,000 euros

Arena costs = €100,000 euros

Trainers, therapists = €100,000 euros

Doctors = €150,000 euros

Front office = €200,000 euros

Coaches = €700,000 euros

= €4 million euros for the senior team

Youth teams = €500,000 euros

= €4.5 million euros for the club's total budget


Partizan has the lowest or second lowest budget in Euroleague every year. It's pretty amazing what they do with their budget.

This would make CSKA in the bottom three of NBA teams and every and that is just for payroll. I can't find NBA teams total budgets but if we include that I'm sure CSKA would be less then every other NBA team.

[QUOTE=gabepizza]This would make CSKA in the bottom three of NBA teams and every and that is just for payroll. I can't find NBA teams total budgets but if we include that I'm sure CSKA would be less then every other NBA team.[/QUOTE]

Total budget, as what it means to a European team, is almost the same thing as what an NBA roster salary cap is.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]Total budget, as what it means to a European team, is almost the same thing as what an NBA roster salary cap is.[/QUOTE]

Really? As you described in above it is not just the salary but other things as well, like maybe the stadiums. Anyway no matter what it would but CSKA in the bottom 3 NBA teams and no other Euroleague team would even be close to NBA budgets.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]The NBA counts taxes in their budgets, even though NBA teams don't actually pay the taxes.

NBA teams don't pay the taxes (that they count on their budgets), the players pay them. European clubs have to pay the taxes for the players, except for the Spanish League clubs, which work like the NBA, and don't pay the taxes either.

Also, a lot of European clubs pay for the agent's fees and their taxes, which NBA teams don't do.

In addition to that, European teams pay a base salary, plus a bonus salary (cars, houses/apartments, living expenses, etc.) to all of their players. NBA teams never pay anything like that, and it's not even allowed under NBA rules.

So sorry, but you are wrong. CSKA pays the taxes for their players, and the agents fees and agent's taxes for their players. NBA teams don't do any of that, and actually NBA teams count the taxes of the players in their salary cap budgets), even though they DO NOT ACTUALLY PAY THAT MONEY.

So, if anything, CSKA's total budget is actually much more accurate to what is spent on signing players, than the budgets of NBA teams are.

You can take CSKA's budget and deduct about 4.5 million euros for expenses and costs that do not relate solely to the cost to sign players.

So, their player cost comes in at about 33.5 million euros. Now, NBA team's budgets, ALL count taxes as paid by the clubs in their budgets, even though they DO NOT pay the taxes.

Since all NBA players are contracted union paycheck salary employees, the deduction comes right out of the paycheck of the player. Meaning, the PLAYERS pay the taxes, not the NBA clubs.

Yet, the NBA clubs count their budgets like they pay the taxes.

You can not do tax deductions at the time of the paycheck, only later when filing. So, the amount is taken at 35% automatically (less from what the team's list as their budgets), then the player's can file however they want later on.

So the team's get a 35% deduction.

So you have to deduct 35%, plus the state and local taxes (every NBA player pays it - even the ones in states with no tax), and then you get the actual numbers, which average about 45% automatic deduction, which the NBA teams DO NOT pay, but count in their budgets that they do.

So, you take an NBA team's salary cap number, deduct 45% from it, then compare to CSKA's costs of 34.5 million euros, just for the costs of the players.

THEN you get an actual comparison.

You cannot do a fair and accurate comparison the way you are doing it.

A player makes a salary of 100,000 euros in Europe, it means the full amount he nets in his bank account AFTER ALL DEDUCTIONS are made.

A player makes a 100,000 salary in NBA, it simply means the gross number on his paycheck. Never mind the union and retirement fund fees and agent fees.

European clubs would simply count and list the salary as 100,000, and NBA teams would list it the same way. But it's not the same. [B]You are pretending that it is.[/B][/QUOTE]

wtf are you talking about. NBA teams count the taxes but don't pay them? I don't know how it works in Europe but in America you get taxes taken out of your paycheck. Where do you think that money comes from? This is a bunch of nonsense you are spewing. In fact when you started this post you wrote TOTAL BUDGETS (not just the net base salaries of the players). You are just bullshit. I love your desperation. You are so pathetic!!

Keep trolling in this thread and I am reporting you. We are supposed to be able to post in this forum without being trolled by the NBA only fans.

You can troll on international basketball as much as you want in the NBA section, but not here.

Don't worry about him "reporting" you. The admin put the "crazed troll" title under his username for a reason. He's been banned several times and usually makes up blatant lies for the sake of pushing his crazed agenda. I've found that he's not worth wasting time arguing with.

From what I've seen, you're a good poster and know about international basketball so feel free to keep posting in the Euroleague discussion threads.

Here is the list of the best paid basketball players in Europe (Euroleague and Eurocup clubs) during the [B]2012-2013 season[/B].

The salaries are listed in both the way European clubs figure it (salary after all player fees, expenses, and taxes and in euros averaged out for the year), and in the way American basketball agents figure it, in the NBA salary equivalent (before player taxes, agent fees, union fees, league retirement fund fees, and in US dollars).

[B]The list is of all the players in Europe that earned at least a $3 million NBA salary equivalent during the 2012-13 season.[/B]

Interesting.

Two wows on that.

1. Michael "Jordan" Farmar is the highest paid player in Europe! Well I guess if you nickname is "Jordan".

2. The highest paid European player does not even make as much as the 50 players in the NBA.

No wonder everybody wants to play in the NBA, it's not just the prestige of playing against the best players in the world you can also make the most money by far.

The Bwin 2013-14 Euroleague player ratings are now out. The ratings are based on statistical performance in Euroleague, Eurocup, FIBA EuroChallenge, national domestic leagues (whatever national league in the world that might be), NBA, NBA D-League, and NCAA, with the ratings weighted by strength of the leagues.

[QUOTE=gabepizza]wtf are you talking about. NBA teams count the taxes but don't pay them? I don't know how it works in Europe but in America you get taxes taken out of your paycheck. Where do you think that money comes from? This is a bunch of nonsense you are spewing. In fact when you started this post you wrote TOTAL BUDGETS (not just the net base salaries of the players). You are just bullshit. I love your desperation. You are so pathetic!![/QUOTE]
I'm not getting in your guys' argument but I will say this. In Europe, in most leagues, the teams pay your agents fees so you don't have to pay them. In addition, they pay your taxes for that country, not what you'd owe the USA. For example, if you had lets say a

Olympiakos 6o budget to 12,antreas exei dikio.
