I'm seeing low to mid 1 millions a year for the first 2 years and 3rd year is not guaranteed .Everyone pays taxes. Do you discount your salary for taxes when telling someone your income?
I also have no idea where your coming up with contract numbers. They aren't based on the 22nd pick in the draft.
Ok college boyStill terrible at posting I see. Some things never change!
hey I generally have agreed with your premise, and in my personal opinion he should have waited until next year, but... he stated that all he was after was a first-round guarantee, and he apparently got it, and he went in the first round...Of course, I just think its funny that I took a beating from people in here because I didn't believe in these "promises".
pearl31, you ignorant slut...hey I generally have agreed with your premise, and in my personal opinion he should have waited until next year, but... he stated that all he was after was a first-round guarantee, and he apparently got it, and he went in the first round...
so there is no way now anyone can say it was a bad decision to stay in the draft
I laughed.pearl31, you ignorant slut...
He's literally a thousandaire.
The other part is that instead of being a college all american on the cover of magazines and featured on the highlight shows he is joining a team with 2 of the surliest team "superstars" in the league and is in the no mans land of Sacramento. Hey who knew Caron Butler, Kosta Koufas and Rudy Gay were still in the league? At least his head coach just got fired by Memphis (OK...cheap shot since the guy did win 50 games and go to the playoffs 3 straight years).did you guys not see him??
he was in near tears.
he realized he screwed up.
whatever $$ he makes in next 3 years...he will likely blow through.
now we will see if he is strong enough to handle the D league and/or no time and can fight for a 2nd contract.
the NBA draft is now a joke for Americans.
unless you are top 5, maybe top 10...stay in school.
otherwise theyd rather have a vet in his 3rd or 4th year than you...or a euro theyve never seen.
id stay for college glory.
and the same amount of $$ id get later...
unless...
i had real talent that couldnt be improved upon in college better...than it could by sitting on an NBA bench, or in a HS gym in the northern cali D league.
and those guys are rare.
LOL -- people literally seem salty that Malachi clearly made the RIGHT decision. He is a first round draft pick, will basically be a millionaire and realized his dream to be in the NBA. Next year's draft will be loaded and he wasn't guaranteed to go any higher than he went now.
I mean we have people here suggesting his 1st round promise didn't mean anything...WHEN HE WAS DRAFTED IN THE 1st ROUND.
It's not even worth the debate.
cusetown1 said:More like low 2's with the 3rd year being optional . Which is literally in the thousands after taxes. But if he gets that extension it was a damn good decision. He has to prove himself for the big contract .

Exactly. People forget about taxes. And CA is not one of the states you want to be in.

Or if he returned and didn't appreciably improve his draft stock, he left nothing on the table.He'll pay roughly $400-500K in taxes each year unless he puts a boatload of money into tax deferred investments. After he buys a $300K house for himself and his parents, the first years money will be gone. He left a million a year on the table by going this year. We'll see if it's worth it in the long run...

I'm afraid it's only starting. Worse, he seems to have lots of company.Briancuse trying to spin this as some vindication for his take has been pretty entertaining.
