for instance, Penny Hardaway, he's in the top 25 highest salaries for NBA players for the past 4-5 years (i dunno about this current season but previous ones). the 04-05 season, he was the 9th highest paid player in the entire NBA at 14 million and he makes 2-7 point per game and is not a starter. i guess he was injured(?). i'm just curious why teams will pay someone who is either not producing or has been injured for the past 5 years that high of a salary. is there seniority in the NBA as far as the salary goes? so if someone in their prime was highly paid but 10 years later, they don't produce, do u have to keep increasing the players salary?
Do the salaries of NBA players increase the longer they're in the league even if they do not produce?nba draft prospects
They signed a big contract for multiple years (long contracts are 7 years)
Penny signed one while he was producing but then all his injuries caught up with him and he wasn't worth it but the contracts are guaranteed
after that salary ends if they aren't worth it you don't have to increase it players can willingly take a pay cut as well to try and get more money for teamates like Shaq and Garnett did
a good example of not increasing salaries is Karl Malone he was very well paid for most of his career but then came off of a big contract and signed a vet minimum contract with the lakers for about 1 million
after a contract ends the maximum contract after that one goes up so the potential to get more money is there but if you aren't a max player you aren't getting the money
Do the salaries of NBA players increase the longer they're in the league even if they do not produce?nba 2k ,nba teams
Hardaway signed his 7 year deal to leave orlando after his injuries but at that time there was still hope he's recover and return to form. Report It
maybe the deal of the contract they signed... IDK =(
