How much $$$$$$ will he make?

I was trying to figure that out, but didn't arrive at an answer.  Regardless, it's way more than the D-League.

50 rubles a week and all the vodka he can carry home.

The deal covers the rest of this season and includes an option for 2013/14, though it's unclear whether that's a player or team option.

Tbe 6'3" product of Marquette replaces Patrick Beverley, who left Spartak to sign with the Rockets. Coincidentally, Beverley finalized his deal with Houston the same day the Lakers let go of Johnson-Odom.

This is one rough read. No contract info though: http://sportsdaily.ru/articles/dzhonson-osvobozhdennyiy-53937

DJO is replacing Patrick Beverly, Eurocup MVP with Spartak.

Here are Beverly's numbers while at Olimpiakos back in 2010...

"At the time of the article, the currency conversion ended up being $300,000 USD per year for 2 years, AFTER TAX.  Pre-tax, that comes out to be about $450,000 per year.  Plus, it is common practice for players to get a house and a car paid for by the team.  Beverley has an option to return to the NBA after the first year, and if you've been keeping up with the Miami Heat, they appear to be making room on their salary cap to bring him back over for the 2010-2011 season."  (http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=341767.0)
