Haas got officially signed by the Jazz. Figured Mathais had a better shot than Haas at making a roster, but he we are.

It's not over for Dakota. Go to Europe and play and make a great living...Not NBA money, but tax free, housing, and other perks add upl

IN talking to my son who has worked overseas the idea that money is tax free is a myth. You still pay taxes and some foreign rates are pretty salty. The difference over the old days is you only pay it in one place.It's not over for Dakota.

I think the difference overseas is that in some sports the salary in your contract is net of taxes. In soccer for instance, if the announced salary is $10 M per year (although it is normally stated in per week terms), this means that the team is giving you enough that after you have paid taxes, you are left with $10 M. I have no idea if basketball contracts are the same way.IN talking to my son who has worked overseas the idea that money is tax free is a myth.

I know personally two people who have or are playing professional sports in Europe (not basketball but each in a different sport) and that is how it worked for them.I think the difference overseas is that in some sports the salary in your contract is net of taxes.

That certainly could be true. Still, taxes are figured in somewhere.I think the difference overseas is that in some sports the salary in your contract is net of taxes.

Heller, all I know is Scott Wood from Marion told me that he paid no taxes, that housing was at a minimum, and he pretty much kept what he made. He's made a nice living playing in France and now Turkey. He's had his shots at the D League and at the bigs, but continues to play in Europe. Saw him earlier this year and he was buying a new Corvette at my local dealer.IN talking to my son who has worked overseas the idea that money is tax free is a myth.
