[MJS Blog] Mayo says he's learned his lesson

[Pakuni]

To someone familiar with the economics of European basketball... what kind of contract could Todd expect by bolting for Europe today and how much do the
"superstars" make in Euroland?

The pay range is huge, from a few million euros to low five figures. Players also can receive housing, cars, money for living expenses and income taxes.

It shouldn't be.  Everything is in Mayo's power to control.

Probably true, but that doesn't prevent firsts shaking at the guy(s) in the ivory tower if anything goes wrong.

Glad Todd is back. Glad Todd controls his own destiny.

The pay range is huge, from a few million euros to low five figures. Players also can receive housing, cars, money for living expenses and income taxes.

Well heck... the way this country is going, taking five-figures in Euros is probably a smarter bet than LeBron's pay in dollars.  Although you do have quite a number of Grecian and Spanish basketball players that will eventually screw things up over there any way.  Probably better to chase the almighty yuan instead....go Dragons.

In any event, where would a player of Todd Mayo's caliber and experience put him in that vast range?
