NBL salarys are roughly like this;
Imports- $200K for stars (league MVP candidates) down to $100K for role players(consistent scorers and rebounders).
Boomers- $100-$150K depending on team funds and combinations.
Starters- $65-$75K
Bench- $55-$65K
Devleopment players- Minimum wage to $30K, usually on a sliding scale related to minutes and stats.

SEABL and ABA guys usually get paid per game (up to $500/game for stars) in addition to a minimum wage that relates to club duties like coaching and school visits.

The best job in the NBL is Referee. $500/game regular season. $1000/game for finals if you get requested.

Doubt any imports are getting close to $200k this year. In past seasons, Homicide and Penney I think it was had "registered" (e.g., above board component only...) contracts of around $200-220k, but neither are in the league right now and Homicide could not command that price in the NBL again (his big deal was at the Crocs, multiple seasons ago).

Many imports will be cheaper in their earlier seasons. e.g., Ervin was an MVP on probably under $100k. Would've taken $50k on top of that to keep him, I suspect.

Isn't there something about players having points based on ability or experience, and not being able to exceed some points limit in the team?

Isaac's right, previous years star imports would get 200k but Ervin had signed his contract as a unknown import, so he was on 75k. I'm not sure what he asked for to resign, i'd imagine it would of been 100 - 120k+

Min salary in the NBL this year is 36k. But a team can't give 36k to a 10 point player even if both parties agreed on it. The points system and salaries are linked together, i'm not 100% sure what the min salary of a 10 point player is this year though.

There are exceptions of course and some guys have special pay deals. For example I am told that Luke Schenscher gets paid for the entire season up front on the first day of pre-season. 1 payment for the entire year. I am told that Chris Anstey used to get paid the same way. Possibly following the example of Luc Longley (he was paid this way for his time at the Bulls).

Generally Development players get shafted. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Townsville have the best paid Dev.Players, and none of them are on great money. The poor buggers in Adelaide would probably earn more laying bricks.
Development players usually do the bulk of the juniors coaching and school visits, this adds to their income as well.

Anon 351478 is right, D players are not contracted so there is no min amount to be paid. Some barely get paid & have part time jobs whilst living at home.

36k isn't that good, it's about what you get working a customer service job. But you're getting paid to play basketball.. So i wouldn't complain. In fact i'd take a pay cut at my current job to play ball every day and adjust my lifestyle around the money i make.

My sister is a debt collector, gets paid 37k a year. Pretty bad considering her day to day duties and stress. Not sure why she does it.

36k to play ball looks pretty good now, doesn't?

Ervin would have needed much more than that to stay. What's he on in Europe?

Alot of players play in the NZNBL as well

The minimum for an import is about $700 gross.On top of that they can earn money doing clinics and school visits.They get accomodation, car and there bills paid for except phone bills.By the time clubs pay all the extras it works out to about $30k minimum.
Check out the pay scale across other leagues:

As you say its just a rough guide for Europe.Look at how much Dave Anderson is on?

I think that guide is very out of date. I'm sure i saw Anderson is on 2.2mil

NZNBL imports are paid quite well. Between 60k and 80k, though some get more. Not bad for 3.5 months work. Lindsay Tait was offered to play for Auckland Pirates and work in a development role for Basketball Auckland for 100k plus.

MACDUB, I would've guessed lower, maybe $40-60k? Pretty good opportunity otherwise. Some of the better NBL players would do well enough over there, playing as imports.

Its not below ABL level IMHO.

NZNBL level talent level is ok, I'm not sure worse than the ABL.. Still it's a nice little off season pay.

I'd say that there would be a few players over $200k this season. I'd say Balls would be one IMO

So how many Boomers play ABL? Almost the entire Tallblacks squad play NZNBL and then add some solid Imports. Last years Saints and Pistons squads would have a good chance of beating the Sixers so to say that it is below ABL level is a joke.

Jake, we were talking about imports and I would've guessed Balls at below $200k even then. If he's at $200k of the cap, 36ers fans should go lighter on Marty for effectively playing with an $800k salary cap.

Outside of the top few SEABL players your playing for the "love"

Break down of Salaries might run:
Imports x2 : $25 to $35k
Best Aussies x 3: $8k to $15k
Bench x4: $1k to $3K

Im trying to join an NBL team, even though im 15. Train everyday for 2-3 hours, and play rep + club
