He should payback some/all of the money he will never earn this season
Nah. That's not how guaranteed contracts work. Not his fault he got injured playing for the Lakers. They'll be fine after insurance compensation kicks in.
In the nba. In football it's a different story. Your whole contract is not guaranteed from the start
To me this makes more sense. And if you do better than expected, there is a bonus kicker
I mean how many NBA players have we seen , play for their lives for the next contract and then become the next Mark Blount? It's pathetic and kind of criminal if you ask me. Seeing the owner and fans shake their head, i wouldn't even want to come and sit on the bench , its so embarrassing
Not stating Nash is doing the same thing, but the bottom line is you are getting paid to perform/produce results . Yes there is insurance this insurance that, but i'm sure owners get screwed with that too (pay higher premiums).
I like the way football has their contract format set out
