How do NBA contracts work out so that two teams are paying the same player?

Exactly right.... sometimes, as part of the conditions of a trade, the player's former team will agree to pay a portion of his salary, while his new team pays him the rest.\n\nIt has nothing to do with the player, in the sense that he has no say about who pays him... it's just whatever the clubs agree to when the trade is made.\n\nIf a team makes some bad deals, they can sometimes end up paying millions of dollars a year to players who are not even in the league anymore, because of careers ended prematurely by injury or other factors.

When a player receives a technical foul, ejection, suspension (1/90th of his annual salary per game) or other fine, the money is split evenly between the league and Players Association.  Each then donates its share to a charity or charities of their choosing

OK the one basically had it correct. You put a guy on waivers and that is just before free agency. You say Hey anyone want this dude at this contract. Every team in the league has the chance to then pick them up at that contract. If they all say nah then the player goes back to the team. If someone picks him up then they have to pay the player at the contract of the team that put him on waivers. You don't have to give them anything else. It is a little like a free agency. If the player clears waivers then the team has to figure out what to do with them but have to pay the contract. They are saying they will try to buy it out.

they pay for player the whole year even if he is injured or a substitute. they pay for him every week unless he make another contract to another team. and about the transfer the player get his weekly salary and the owners team get the money for the transfer.

I agree their is a great amount of talent in the NBA. Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Lebron, Carmelo, Shaq, Tony Parker, and the list goes on.  It is not like back in the day when single players dominated the game. As for the players of today not being driven, this is so true.  I hate to see it, but what can you expect when they have guaranteed contracts?

If you represent the right players at 10% if you work a $50M deal for example.........do the math!!  Plus the fact that you would represent a good number of players (if you a good agent.)

They do,\n\nNo NFL player gets paid from their contract if they get injured from a risky activity besides football.  All of the contracts have that stipulation in them

Jerry is mostly right, except that the player can sign with another team, and his current team gets a chance to either match it or let the player go. If they let him go, the other team that signs him has to give up two 1st round picks in compensation. Nobody's going to give up that much to sign a player, so basically the player is locked into his current team.

I googled Brindley Wright.  He currently plays for Cibona in the EuroLeague.  His salary was not disclosed.  Generally, EuroLeauge salaries are similar to the NBA's in one aspect.  There is a minimum and and star players make lots more.  Some Euro players make less in the NBA, but opt for the NBA because of the prestige.

absolutly, the any league with a salary cap shouldn't have to offer a guaranteed contracts. Besides these players should be paid what they earn. If they aren't earning their money they shouldn't get it.

NBA players make a lot more than NFL players.  Plus the money is guaranteed while no one in the NFL has guaranteed contracts.

The CBA is basically the contract between the owners and the players association.  If one doesn't get done by Wednesday, the cap's going to stay right where it is, and a lot of teams are going to have to make a lot more cuts than they wanted too to get under the cap by the deadline.  Most trade rumors will be squashed as well.

basketball players make a little more than football players, because of their collective bargaining agreement with the league allows players to make a certain amount.  \n\nNBA Salary (rookies $398,762-$473,604) | (veterans $641,768-$1,352,181) the salaries rise each and every year\nhttp://www.insidehoops.com/minimum-nba-salary.shtml\n\n "Average NBA salary is $4.9 million (U.S.), the highest of any major North American sports league. The collective bargaining agreement came up for agreement in 2005 but NBA Commissioner David Stern decided to make no attempt to implement a hard cap or any other major changes, to the dismay of many commentators who felt that changes were long overdue and that the NBA could take advantage of the NHL's momentum." (Wikipedia - Salary Cap)\n\n\nNFL Salary \nThe minimum salary for an NFL player is $235,000 in his first year, and rises after that based on the number of years in service. Exhibition game minimum is $10,000. These numbers are set by contract between the NFL and the players' union, the National Football League Players' Association. These numbers are of course exceeded dramatically by the best players in each position.\n\nYears Experience Minimum Salary \n0 $260,000 \n1 $305,000 \n2 $380,000 \n3 $455,000 \n4-6 $540,000 \n7-9 $665,000 \n10+ $765,000 \n\n(Wikipedia - NFL, National Football League)
