why not NBDL?



He's probably going to make 3-4 times the money. NBDL doesn't pay shite. He'll probably make $300K to play in Croatia.

I think he is of Croatian heritage, so he gets a waiver of some sort for their roster limits. They have to have a certain amount of Croatians on the roster.

There was talk of him playing in Croatia even before the draft.

yea i realize that euro pays more than NBDL, but I dont get why Miami is allowed to retain his contract, not have to pay him shite, and let a euro team pay him.

It's basically taking any and all risk away from teams if they can hold rights to players, let them play in europe and get paid, and then either cut them or sign them depending on how they do over there.

seems like the NBA would want to force its teams to send players to the NBDL. Isn't that why it was created in the first place?
