    The majority of the payments are coming out of Usman pockets

    How could you leave out our new nine million defensive anchor Theis?

    i think the Rockets are only allowed to pay like 700k of the buyout, most of this is going to be Garuba money which is why he needs to pay it in installments

    Hopefully Ferntits can throw him some Landry's gift cards so my man won't be broke after paying his buyout and go hungry when he arrives.

    Ssshhhh. Back door gambling funds. Not as cool as Nets buying mistresses housing for Harden, but still cool internet gambling stuff. Don’t let anybody know.

    I left him out because a foursome of Theis, Tate, Garuba and JC on the floor at the same time is giving me heavy JVG-era vibes lol

    He is a very ambitious player, that according to those that know him, spends a lot of time studying film on other NBA players.

    The I-Formation Lineup:

    Sengun
    Garuba
    Tate
    Khyrie
    Gordon

    Give Gordon the ball and everyone else block.

    To prevent costs from getting too exorbitant, hence limiting the desire for teams to pay the international player buyouts, the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement limits what a team may pay directly to the player out of a European contract. In the upcoming draft, the limit is $750,000, and it increases by $25,000 each season. This amount does not affect the team’s salary cap. If an international player buyout exceeds the limited amount (officially termed the Excluded International Player Payment Amount), the player is responsible for paying the remaining difference, and that amount comes directly out of the player’s NBA salary. Further, the excess payment is applied to the team’s salary cap as a signing bonus, and is prorated over each guaranteed salary year of the contract.

    I don't think there was ever any doubt. Great to see it confirmed though!
