Oh got it. If its about money he wont make anywhere near that in the NBA, I wouldnt expect him to leave even if offered unless its more about where he lives and the prestige of playing in the NBA.

It looks like basically an NBA team would have to offer well above league minimum. If they only paid him league minimum, he would have a salary of $0 next year lol.

NBA rules will allow teams to pay up to $625k of an international contract buyout without being charged to the player and without salary cap implication next year (the limit was $600k this year). Anything above that amount is charged to the player and the salary cap. The rule applies to all international buyouts, even if the player is American.

Interesting. I was wondering if they had some provision like that.
