Hayes-Davis returned to the NBA after being named the Euroleague Final Four MVP last season, as well as a member of the All-Euroleague First Team.

He averaged 1.3 PPG and 1.2 RPG in 7.2 MPG for the Suns on a $2.000.000 deal (before taxes) before being traded to the Bucks, who cut him immediately afterwards.

In a bidding war between Euroleague clubs Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce and Hapoel Tel Aviv, the Greek club got Hayes-Davis on a 2.5 year deal worth at the very least $11.800.000 (after taxes).

Given reports that Hayes-Davis would only return to the Euroleague if he became the highest paid player, which is currently Vasilije Micic with a $5.600.000 annual salary, his contract could very likely be worth even more.

He also invented a gadget that toasts your hot dog buns on the grill. His sales pitch: “I want you to buy the tray and eat your entire body weight in hot dogs. That would make me happy.”

After tax adjustment this is equivalent to a 30mil 3 yr contract in the NBA. Above the median and average salary.

NBA is definitely starting to feel the threat of Europe especially if they manage to attract and keep better talent than they previously have been used to

Happy for him.

While his play on the court didn’t work out, it seemed like off the court he was a fantastic teammate. I never saw him down on the bench, and in social media clips and in his vlogs he seemed to get on with everyone.

During the preseason there was an interview where Ott talked about how high NHD’s bball IQ was and his ability to communicate, and I think it’s underrated how important is it to have guys on the team who can do that. Even just being able to help young guys navigate that kind of stuff, like Haslem was in Miami, or Lowry now in Philly.

There’s actually contradicting reports on it, some are saying that it is closer to 12,5m for 2,5 years or even up to 13,5m, (always in euros and not taxed), so we would be talking about a truly ludicrous salary for Euroleague standards, easily in the top 3 if not right at the top (Vasilije Micic is the highest paid player right now, hilariously for anyone who watches the Euroleague, followed by MVP Kendrick Nunn)
