Per Wojo Plans to skip SMU and play overseas next year citing NCAA "Amateurism" rules as the reason.
 
You wouldn't think an overseas team would pay him much, given that 1) he is 18 and has no experience past HS, and B) it is well known that he is a one and done player, than off to the NBA.

I wonder if you look at whatever salary he will make in that one year, travel expenses, overseas taxes, and all that jazz, how much money mama is actually going to see out of this.

I don't disagree with the principal, just not sure the "reward" is all Mudiay thinks it's going to be.

Brandon Jennings got 1.65 Mil from the Team and 2 Mil from Under armor when he went to Italy for a Year.. That's 3.65 he made and the NCAA didn't make a dime off of him. Even if you assume 65% in expenses, taxes, and everything mom sees 1,277,500 if he gets the same deal Jennings got

Under Armour is supposed to be part of his deal...they must be willing to bet on his future.
 
I would imagine that travel and lodging would be included in his contract, and he wouldn't have to pay for a whole lot of meals. I don't what the tax laws are for US citizens working in Europe but i would think that most of what doesn't go to his agent will wind up in his pocket.
 
Good decision for him. If he's a legit lottery pick between agents, sponsors, etc he will easily cash a couple million $.

So instead of making a few million $ for SMU he will make it for his family.

He will pay taxes on it somewhere. There or here.

U.S. citizens working overseas get to work tax free for your first 80 thousand (or so) dollars earned per year. It's because having Americans work overseas (as long as it is temporary) basically imports money back into the U.S. from other countries.

I think there is more to it than that, but I will admit, I'm not positive.

Maybe I'll research it a little more tomorrow.

I'm sure there is. I'd be happy to be corrected if my information is wrong. I just had a family member do that once.
 
He will pay taxes, but wont be double taxed.


It's a good move for him. There is no reason for him to go to a school where he has no shot at an NCAA title for a year. Honestly, he probably shouldn't even have played. Just signed an endorsement deal, worked out for a year, adn then done an agent controlled workout before the draft next year, like Exum did. No sense in risking playing poorly in Europe and losing draft stock.



And it's an absolute joke that the NBA bars HS players from entering the draft immediately.


The only legitimate issue raised in not allowing them is that teams end up paying them to develop on the end of the bench and then when they're ready to contribute it's time for them to get a big contract. Well, that could be easily remedied by giving teams an additional team option year at the end of the rookie contract for anyone that leaves directly out of high school.
 
I like to see more of this. The ones that want money need to head oversees.

If you add an additional team option year to the first year contract for anyone who leaves directly out of HS, then the only people it's bad for are general managers who suck at evaluating talent, and maybe for guys like Royal Ivey who would otherwise get an extra year of being paid sitting at the end of the bench doing nothing. I don't feel sorry for either type.
