    Default Highest Paid Basketball Players In Europe 2011-12 Season

    Euroleague, Eurocup, EuroChallenge:

    These are the net income salaries (after taxes) and in euros. Salaries in the Spanish League are temporarily for this season gross income (before taxes), due to the economic crisis, so don't get confused by that if the numbers look different, as some sites list the gross amount wrongly as the net amount for Spanish ACB League players.

    Keep in mind that these are the base salaries of the players, and do not include the player's bonus salaries, like their apartments/houses, cars, etc., that are provided to them by their clubs.

    Keep in mind also that NBA salaries are listed in gross terms (before taxes) and in $US dollars, so that's a big difference.

    Real Madrid management. I mean, we will probably find out that Draper got paid more than McCalebb asked to sign with them.

    He did have a really good season. But he was horrible the last 2 seasons, and 3 seasons ago, he only played well at the Euroleague Final Four, and was bad the rest of the season. So it makes sense why teams were afraid to sign him, as you said it was a risk.

    I guess he got his confidence back after playing at EuroBasket over the summer, and doing pretty well.

    But this season, he was good in Euroleague, good in Greek Cup, and good in the Greek League. However, he has been pretty awful so far in the Greek League Finals. But, he's probably just tired due to age. Hopefully, he's not burnt out before the 2012 Olympic qualifiers start.

    Still, he's playing way better than Nick Calathes is, but that's not saying much.

    Supposedly, Sarunas Jasikevicius got paid a base salary of €220,000 euros net income this season from Panathinaikos. So yeah, all things considered, that he had a good Greek Cup Final game and a good Euroleague semifinal game, that was pretty much a bargain.

    By comparison, Nick Calathes is getting €900,000 euros net income this season from Panathinaikos, and he has pretty much sucked for most of the season. Funny thing is that supposedly, the Mavs want to sign Calathes. The NBA is so funny, the way they covet guys like Dragic, Jennings, Lawson, Rubio, and Calathes that pretty much sucked in the Euroleague.

    Don't forget Vasilopoulos. He played zero games in Euroleague and only 5 games in Greek League, due to injuries.

    As far as Sergio Rodriguez goes.......he started to earn his salary in the Spanish League playoffs.

    Well, he isn't a great player, but supposedly Real is close to signing Rudy Fernandez, at 1.74 million euros net a season.

    I heard that too but I was thinking that they might sign some great pg because Draper and Rodrigez or Llull isnt good rotation for team with Reals ambitions .

    I have heard that they want to try to get McCalebb from Siena. But good luck getting a buyout from Minucci.
