There are two fringe benefits playing for the Rockets which do not eat into the salary cap. 1. A shoe contract in China 2. A post-NBA player's contract in the CBA.
if i have earned millions of dollars in the NBA already i will not want to be in China playing for just a few grand
Well, I thought the salary in CBA is not that bad since quite a few ex-NBA players are playing there now. So I suppose it is more than just a few grand. Looks like you know much more about that than me. Would you mind sharing your knowledge and tell us how much players like Marbury are getting in the CBA?
