How much money is an NBA 10-Day Contract?

[HammerDown]

I've always wondered about this so I looked it up this morning.

I found this on LosAngelesHoopz.com.

The minimum salary a 10-day contract can offer is the # of days in the contract divided by the # of days in the regular season multiplied by the minimum annual salary.

Example:
Minimum salary is $300,000
# of days in NBA regular season is 170

Salary = 10/170 x $300,000 = $17,700

My first thought was "that's not very much". Then I figured up how much I make in 10 days and thought "FML".

Yeah, and not to mention you'd be getting the NBA per diem and eating team meals and staying in luxury hotels and receiving sexual favors from NBA groupies.

The 2018 version of this answer is: $46,080 for a rookie & $74,159 for a veteran.

Thanks.

That's pretty good $ for a 10 day contract. And they can sign 2 of them before having to be on the team permanently for the remainder of the season.

Yeah but NBA players get actual women, not trannies
