      I laughed at that so hard earlier..... like for a full-on 5 minutes. It was just too hillarious.

        Think of the 13k as pocket money, since the teams pays for everything else
        $13K, $19K and even $25K is poverty anyway you look at it. these guys get a $30-40 allowance for 3 meals a day and basic living accommodations plus transportation just covers to practice's and games. It's not like they can work on the side either with all the travel and day practice. and lets not forget that a lot of these guys have a family as well. D-league is a season or two away from getting a players union if they don't improve the pay.

              Then quit. Stop chasing them dreams and come join us monday-friday middle class shluffs. Zero sympathy, they're playing basketball, not making the world a better place.. Its the same thing people would say to a struggling musician. "Can't put food on the table? Get a job!"

                im not talking about paying these guys millions or even six figures, $30K-$40K is a livable wage...$13K is just pathetic.

                • I think the important thing to point out here is that I am in fact funny


                  immediate permanent ban if you add "looking" or "smelling" and direct it at me as an insult

                    13K is also for a season which is less than 1 year

                          He's made me laugh out loud quite a bit these days... Admittedly his stuff is hit and miss but I wouldn't be against creating a thread with all his highlights

                            Think of it this way... With living expenses, health care (which admittedly doesn't matter as much in Canada but nonetheless), food, rent, transportation etc. taken care of, these guys get $13-25k take home, just for playing basketball! They don't even get taxed cause they make so little. There are people who make 40-50k a year who don't get that much in profits after a year!

                            And as for living in a tiny apartment with other dudes, most (if not all) of these guys went to college... It's basically college for them but with more money, less rules (and probably less "snatch" (*vroom vroom*))

                              because of roadtrips they are in the tiny apartment only 50% of the time.
