Rudy Fernandez offered monster 6 year/$26 million contract by Real Madrid

[kentatm]

If deshawn and butler are not signed back on, this team goes back to their soft ways, rudy will make them even more soft..

the Mavs will still have Brian Cardinal who some Heat fans have cried was a thug that purposely hurt Wade. They have no worries.

Less than 5 million a year would make him the highest paid player in ACB history? Really?

and this is why the idea of there being tons of $ for nba ballers to just go take over there is silly. That is basically the qualifying offer to retain rights for a late lotto pick coming out of his rookie contract and nearly 1.5 million less than the mid-level salary in the nba.


I kinda hope he doesnt take it, because I think he would be a very fun player to watch on dallas.

[boozehound]

so, its basically the same as the qualifying offer for Austin Daye (4+ million), the 15th pick in the draft (i.e. not even a lottery pick). Damn.


So, two points. Obviously escape to europe isnt the answer. doesnt this also point to how out of wack the salaries are in the NBA (go look at the revenue of Euroleague vs NBA last year) comparatively. The biggest salary ever in the most successful euro league is = to the QO for a mid-first round draft pick.

Those are always net figures. $26 million actually might equal around $43-45 million on a NBA contract, depending on state income taxes and benefits included in the contracts. And that is a lot more than the qualifying offer for a late lotto pick.

Btw, the contract would reportedly start now, Rudy would be free to return to the Mavs when a NBA season starts and he would leave after this season. If that is correct, the Mavs are screwed cause they have no way to match that right now. They probably wouldnt want to anyway with that sum being reported, but whatever....

Where are you getting this 4+ million number? I think it's a lot less.

[Chicago Ted]

Seriously.

Jaw looking like he's the third member of Terrence and Phillip.

You are so sad

[Scoooter]

He gets to live in Spain too, which is beautiful.

[The-Legend-24]

No way Jose Mourinho let's him play.

[Funnyfuka]

Glad that the deal will take place after next season. If Rudy steps it up and has a great season, Cuban might throw even more money his way.

not going to happen, he ll be lazy and wait for his comeback in europe. Ha these europeans players "who dont like north america"....why did they come in the first place then?

[Euroleague]

This thread is totally misleading. Contracts in Europe are NET INCOME.

$26 million NET INCOME.

NET INCOME

NET INCOME

Do you have any grasp of what that means? And, actually Navarro makes the same amount on average. So it would be no higher than what Navarro already makes in Spain.
