Awesome news!

Congrats to DJO!

[Windyplayer]

That's great news. Hope he sees some action.

[Warrior Code]

Good luck, DJO!

[CTWarrior]

Is that great news?  Is it great to be coveted by a team whose sole goal down the stretch is to lose as many games as possible?

That's a myth.

After taxes and agent fee, he will realize about $12,000 to go to Philly for 10 days.  Is that enough?

[Markusquette]

Awesome.  Now I have a purpose to watch my favorite NBA team for 10 days.

[BrewCity83]

That's more than I'll be bringing home in the next 10 days.  And I'm SUBSTANTIALLY older than DJO.

Way to go DJO! Awesome news!

Not disagreeing, but how do you figure?

[BossplayaOtto]

Congrats DJO!!  Hope he gets some run.

Not perfect math but:

$425,000 min salary
/ 180 days
* 10 days
* 55%

[westcoastwarrior]

A couple errors in that math....

first...NBA players are only paid for games played....which is 82.

So $425,000/82 = $5182.92 per game

Looks like the sixer's are playing in 6 games over the next 10 days.

so that is about $30,000...taxed at his DJ's income tax level...not at the minimum NBA salary level.

Good luck to DJO. Man, he should be able to make that "team".

[ZiggysFryBoy]

That's more than I'll be bringing home in the next 10 days.  And I'm SUBSTANTIALLY older than DJO.

shoulda become a dentist like 4ever, aina?

[Avenue Commons]

That's great news. Hope he gets a bucket on this trip to the league!

[NersEllenson]

Congrats to DJO - An all-time likable Warrior...think he can stick if he gets some run...

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Was hoping he would stick on Lakers. Know Rambis is a big fan. Good luck  DJO!

[MattyWarrior]

Always liked DJO,played his heart out and hustled all the time.

Out of curiosity, when players sign these 10-day contracts where do they live.  Will the team put them up somewhere temporarily or is it completely on them to arrange housing. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Awesome news. DJO was possibly my favorite player to watch during my years in Milwaukee

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Congrats to DJO, and good luck getting his baptism against the Pacers!

DJO lives out of a hotel.
