Hey everyone, so I was watching some NBA games the other day, and it got me thinking about those 10-day contracts they give out. Like, how much money do these guys actually make for those short-term deals? I got curious and decided to dive into it myself.
I started by hitting up the internet, just browsing around to see what I could find. I mean, it’s not like this info is plastered everywhere. But I was determined to get to the bottom of it. It was like piecing together a puzzle, one bit of info at a time.
Here’s what I found out:
- The range is pretty wide. It varies depending on the player’s experience.
- Apparently, these contracts can pay anywhere from around $60,000 to over $180,000. That’s a big difference!
I dug a little deeper and saw that for the 2023-24 season, those numbers were roughly between $64,000 and $184,000. It all depends on how long the player has been in the league. And if you want to get really specific, for the next season, the 2024-25 one, the range is said to be between $66,503 and $189,872.
So, what did I learn from all this?
Well, these 10-day contracts aren’t just a flat rate. There is a scale. It’s based on experience. The longer a player has been around, the more they can make, even on a short-term deal. I even learned that teams can start signing players to these contracts starting January 5th each year. Pretty cool, right?
